"Creature Handler
Primary Role: Pet Handler
Secondary Role: Versatility
Offense: N/A (Defined by Pet)
Defense: N/A (Defined by Pet)
Crowd Control: N/A (Defined by Pet)


Creature Handlers are the ultimate in combat versatility. While they have no innate combat capabilities of their own they are able to fulfill almost any needed role as long as they have a pet with the necessary abilities."


A little confused here... Does this mean that we no longer will be able to have TKM as our offensive capabilty? Does this mean now that the only weapon we can use is our pets?



"Professions and Variety
These changes to the combat professions provide a much better role definition for each of the combat professions. Group and solo play are both enhanced by enriching the professions with these new ability assignments and most importantly, these changes make "profession stacking" a strong game challenge. Profession mixing is an exciting choice that players can use to personalize their characters and make them more unique and effective in combat."


The above statement is what makes what was said about CHs confusing.Are we or aren't we going to be able to have say TKM in our templates after the CU goes live?

All this is saying is that your role as a CH is defined by what pet you use. If you use a tank pet, you can tank with it. If you use a damage-dealer pet or a state-dealer pet, you fulfill that role. Assuming you have the proper pet, you can fit any role your group requires (in theory).

If you're a Rifleman/CH or a TKM/CH or whatever, you can also use those skills. It will be very much the same as you see on Live currently in that respect.

Here is a "post CU"character builder that I have been using to see what I can have as professions (skill points wise) after the change.

Ko - pretty much has it correct, your position in a group may be determined by your pet. unfortunatly the way it stands now the only role really worthwhile for our pets is i the tank area.


There was recently a post that added to this, it was deleted. although I am afraid if I repeat what was said it would make this thread deletable. It was the next paragraph of what was posted and copied above. supposedly leaked out by... (edited due to lack of information).


Suffice it to say the devs are aware any versatility in roles for ch is only available through be pets right now and they are planning to make changes sometimeafter the curb to accomodate us in this area.

Hmm.... let's try this again (without getting deleted)


What Ko-alri says is very interesting. Every CH should pay attention here.


The part that is missing is where we're going to get these various pets to fill these roles...... Hmm... where is that nugget of info in their docs? I can't seem to find it for some reason.... I wonder why.....
