Hey all. I am going master bounty hunter with enough skill points to train novice creature handler and maybe get one full tech tree. If I would be using my pets to help me take out nasty one on one targets (human or pvp) what is your suggestion to someone with about 14 to 16 skill points to use? Thanks!

Empathy 4. The tricks help you heal, the commands help you fight. All the other branches give commands to teach pets -- you can get a MCH to train them for you.

Hmm, that's a tough one. You'll need 20 skill points to get novice CH and one entire skill-tree. If it were me I'd probably go with the Training skill-tree because that would allow me an additional 12 creatures in my datapad. No matter which tree you choose to train you'll still be at a max level 24 creature.
If you went with the Taming skill-tree you'd be able to tame both agressive and non-agressive creatures. If you went with the Management skill-tree you'd be able to call out 2 creatures at the same time (but they'd only be able to equal 24). I'd actually go with the Empathy skill-tree as a last choice.
So, I'd go for the most creatures possible and rotate them in-and-out of the datapad to make up for the deficiencies you'll have by not having any skills from the other trees.

I'd have to aggree with dragonace; get more pets. The only catch with the Training line is that you won't be able to get any of the aggro critters that might be most helpful to you as a MBH; a mottled wrix (CL 18) would be a very nice helper for taking down marks, with its speed, disease special, and small tankage (4500 HAM)ability. A kusak stalker (CL 24) would be the most you could hope for with one branch, 7500 HAM, but the aggro skin (like the wrix)is the issue you'd need to deal with.
The commands are not a serious problem; if you get pets from an MCH they can be fully trained; if you train your own tames you will have limitations like group (from the Management line) and tricks (from the Empathy line).

i got a CL24 BE vesp with 10k H and 9K AM and 40% kinetic resist, but get the training tree, more pets in your DP=more HAM for your enemy to burn thorugh, just have another CH train your pets in commands you wont have (ex. trick1 and 2

Yep, I'm with Sio and dragonace -- go for the training tree. Taming is nice but it won't get you the number of pets like training would.

Also, you're probably going to lean heavily on BE creations for your main pets; as long as they're crafted into non-aggro skins, you'll be able to call them. Again, with the Training line, you'll have more of them at your fingertips and that's probably going to be your most effective use of limited SP.
