Just coming back to CH - My, how things have changed, eh?

I'm curious, I was thinking about changing my template to MCH/MCM? Has anyone tried it?

I'm working on the FS grind, any idea what scout xp and CH xp caps out now?

I had that as a template for quite a while. The good thing about this template is that your pet is a really good tank for you. You don't do enough damage to take the hate from the pet, and you can heal your pet if it gets low on health. You can send your High level pet in and throw on the DOT's (Fire, and poison) then start shooting with another weapon. It will take a little bit for the hate to switch to you. I had no problem soloing level 82 creatures as long as I could pull only 1 MOB. Another nice thing is that it's easy to get CH xp. If you only apply the DOT's it doesn't have any XP associated with it so you get full ch xp. If you only apply heals to the pet, you don't get healing xp for it so again you get full ch xp for it.

The bad thing about this build is that neither you nor your pet does much damage.

If you're using this template to grind FS xp I would like to remind you that you can primarily get senses xp with this template. MCM cap is 1.2 Million Healing XP (Converts to senses); CH cap is 1.2 Million CH xp (Converts to senses xp). Scout cap 300K (Converts to senses xp) Marksman cap 200K for pistols, carbines, and rifles (Converts to combat or reflexes xp) and combat xp (I can't remember what the combat xp cap is but again converts to combat or reflexes xp) Getting Combat or Reflexes xp is a real pain with this template. And that's the ONLY reason I no longer use this template. My new template is MCH, MBH, and Combat Medic 4000. I can still heal, I hit for more damage, I can gain Combat/Reflexes FS xp pretty effectively and I can also gain FS Senses xp fairly easily.

If/when I open my alt I'm going to go back to MCM, MCH. I really miss my DOT's and electrolyte drain.
