I am not dropping CH, I still love it.

But I do know some people who are, and it is because they want to get more into PvP, and none of the top PvP templates include CH.

I think I can answer your question.

I've been a CH for 5 months. CH has gone from uber to unplayable in a 7 month period. Lets face it, CH is only usefull for pretty pets and a meatshield. Well, after the last patch the meatshield can not be used due to running. What is the point to CH now, Tame people's pets and look cool with a worthless Kimo beside you. Not my idea of putting my skill points to use.

If I drop CH, I can Master Smuggler/Pistoleer/Teras Kasi. Lets see, would I be better off regardless what is wrong with those professions, I think the answer is YES.

The question isn't what profession is working. The question is what profession is more broken currrently than CH, Pikeman is the only one that comes to mind. I'm strickly speaking of Combat professions mind you, Droid Eng while probably the most worthless profession in the game is not with my playstyle. I like to kill, not create hehe.

I'm not dropping CH. It took me way too long to get MCH. So I just made another character on another server and I'll play him until maybe they fix all the problems they just made with their "fixes".

Oh well, and the people that are dropping CH, it's because they aren't having fun anymore. This is a game so when a profesion stops being fun it is time to find one that is. It's kinda sad, this proffesion was the funnest I've played in this game, but the devs have kicked us so many times it just isn't fun for me anymore. I won't drop CH cause I love my pets too much. But until it gets better I'll just play other proffesions until I find one that is fun. Cause in the end that's all that matters is if your having fun.

I just made MCH. I think MCH should not be an Elite class because the profession isn't as strong as other Elite combat classes.

Yea its nice to have a pet tank but I am a master brawler plus tka student and I tank better than any pet I've tried so far.

I think they should reduce the number of SP needed to be MCH or make MCH more powerful, its not currently worth the skill points.

Because it is a cron profession and I can do better in combat without it. No chasing my damn pets around trying to fight whatever it is running from, be it a gnort or a rancor. I have one char that has been a CH since week 2 of the games release and another that is grinding it for a cron. Having played for a while I think the CH profession is designed poorly right now and truth be told I can do just as well fighting anything on my own, without a pet. So that is why I am dropping CH.

I'm dropping CH so I can actually help my guild members do something We have TKA's, we have armor, and we have docs with buffs. We don't need pets to tank. I'm a master Rifleman. I don't need pets to tank. (Or run my targets off.) Do you know what I'm picking up instead? Musician. Why? Have you ever spent any quality time in an Entertainer group? The grind is amusing if you stay at the keyboard I used to have SO much fun leveling my CH skills with a fellow CH or with a hunting group. Pets were actually useful at that time. Lately, in both PvP and PvE, I send them into battle expecting them to die, but hoping they'll hold on long enough for me to get a free shot or two in on the target. Nobody is afraid of a rancor or gurreck anymore (regardless of the 'resists', since the damage they deal is laughable), and everybody knows that the best way to deal with a tailing pet is to kill the owner immediately. What defenses do CH's get from their profession? Absolutely none. How quickly can you take out an MCH (who doesn't get the benefit of defense stacking)? A few seconds, if even that. I'd rather be able to buff the secondaries of a friend than block their view of the enemy for a few seconds in a raid. It's a complete waste of skill points if you have any wish to help people in this game.

I love being a master ch. I will give up SWG if I decide I just can't handle the CH problems any longer.

Not a threat... I'm not there yet. Taking a break to try some pikeman... but I'll never delete my MCH box.

Account gets deleted first.

Greetings,

I refuse to give up my CH skills. To tell you the truth, CH has provided me with the most fun in all the game. I don't group often with people. To tell you the truth, it usually gets on my nerves after a couple of hours. Those whose companyI mainlyenjoy are on different time schedules than I, so by the time they like to start gaming, it's bedtime for Pem.

My character iswhatI want to be. CH is my primary love and the benefits of TK allow me make the most of the CH profession as it is now. The problemI am having is due to a lack of real content. I don't want to grind anymore. Tell me, how many times can one clear out the Nightsister Dungeon before it gets boring. How many millions of credits does one need before they begin to lose their meaning? How many destroy missions does one do before numbness sets in? How many deliveries ... You get what I mean.

I cannot imagine giving up CH, just as I cannot imagine doing it with TK. However, with the bugs and apparent disdain the devs have for our class, I live from month to month with the game as my subscription renews. I wondered if this month's publish would make it any better. For me, it's made it worse. So, for me, a closed account is better than condoning SOE's behaviour by forcing myself to change to have fun. I should be able to have fun without having to give up what I enjoy.

Good Luck to All,
