Picture this Your ready for combat and you pull out a rancor, you send it against your enemy andyour shock cause as soon as it makes contactits knocked down. Your enemy a Bothan you is as high as yoru rancors shin.


This is laughable and absurb, how can something that isn't even as tall as your pets kneecap knock it down.

This is jus one problem hat faces us in SWG. The pet that you uses seems to have no tatical or stratigic outcome in the battle when fighting in PvP. Not even its resists count anymore.



Here are some ideas to make pets more realalistic.



  • Spiders-There special attack should be poison (which it believe all spiders type have that attack if not they should) But there damage should be acid, since spider vemon has corosive properties. Also Bird Eating Spiders can pierce haeavy leather, which for there siz is still alot of power, now take a spider 5-7ft tall dont you think that shold be able to puncture metals, so that is why believe that they should gain armor piercing ability.



  • Rancors-They are huge the are armored, they are the mode of transportation for night sisters, yet they can be knocked down by by a 2 foot Bothan. Rancors do have claws but they prefer large swipes with the hand usually in the palm ragion so they should not get armor piercing capability but should get knockdown special. The should keep there kenetic dmg but since they are derived from the arachnid phylum(I think that is the proper lvl) they have though leather/Chiten hides they should get medium armor.(I just got a rancor today so dont know what its armor rating is)



  • Cats(These Include GSP, Grandwrix, Gurreks, Razorcats, ect)-They are fast agile, that is there stenghts, there resists should be reduced greatly but the should get huge modifiers such as dodge, since they are suppose to be fast and agile. One thing that all cats do when they reach there target is they pounce so when a cat first reaches its target it should get a one time knockdown attack, after that since cats aim for the eyes, they should get dizzy and blind attacks. Cats with fur shoul dbe vulenable to heat attack, eg flamethrowers. oh and predators except for there teeth usually do lacerations so they should not have armor piercing capability.


These are three that I have thought of right now I will add more to the post later but until then what do you think of my methodalogy and my reasoning, I want to get a big discussion going on this topic and for you to add your own insight on other animal types.

there have been several great ideas concering the future of CH floating around the boards as of late. the fact of the matter is though, we probably won't see any of them. The Devs seem to hate CH, shown by the constant potshotting of our class, and the start of the rebalance with us, but then saying to hell with it for the rest of the classes. i don't think we will see much of anything done to help our class unless we do something drastic, which would probably lead to many bannings before they realize that they pissed us off.



I would love to be able to have rescue pets, and certain pets for certain situatuions, not just pull out the pet or 2 with the best kinetic/energy resists.

AGREE!!! There are sooo many things that pets "could" be usefull for but its gonna be next year at the earliest til we see any major changes. The rescue pet idea is a great one tho.

As much as I agree with some of your stuff, then you have totally negated the purpose of BE's. Their whole job is to make creatures that are not UBER into uber ones. Like the enhances kwi's at the geno dungeon. Those aren't normal kwi's, and neither is the level 44 Vir Vir that your BE friend made you. He should be a Venemous Vir Vir, with armor, after all hes a BE'd pet. Although I do 100% agree with you for the natural tamed creatures.
