just became a novice ch and I cannot tell what babies I can tame or not tame. I know that it has to be non-agro but other than that, I have been having trouble figuring out what I can't tame... My cl level is 25 with novice ch, but on examine I do-not see anything related to cl level so I can automatically know what I should waste time training and what I shouldn't waste time training.

If you're not aMaster Scout you won't be able to see it I don't think... you'll just have to use the radial menu to see if Tame is there as an option.
Not sure, I could be wrong,but I don't think that as Novice CHyou can tame anything anon ch can't use...meaning your ability ability to tame anything above CL 15 is non existant. At Tame 1 you get +10 to CL which would give you the ability to tame CL 25 pets.

Novices can only tame level 15 non-aggresive creatures.
Although there are times when for some reason I haven't been able to tame certain creatures that I should be able to. Like Diseased Vrelts.their only level 8 and non-aggro.
Basicly if Tame comes up on the radial menu you can tame it if not then you can't.
If you have Taming I you can tame lvl 25.
If you were a Master scout you'd be able to see what level they are, which makes it a little easier.

work on 1 1 1 3 and then progress as you think best. This gives you the option to have 2 pets out and to heal their mind wounds as a minimum.
Good Luck and have fun.

Well i'll try to get ya some answers here...problem is faqq takes care of most of your questions but here's what i can answer..
1.your opponent need not worry about your pet and goes straight for you..nuf said ,points you could have used toward some other damaging profession.
2.Havn't tried me but pet's with ranged kd sound good for this but as far as better for pvp they'll all go down fast to anyone decent in pvp i imagine..(Mind you i don't pvp any so am just talking from what i read).Now for pve..you want a high kin resistant creature..A good BE can make you a nice one with 60%and i havn't seen higher but might be out there resistence to kinetic damage.
3.Bugs that have tested the sand of time and nerfs that will be with ch's for time to come i'm sure.But yes spamming and maybe it wasn't recieving your commands or such...jsut be patient and test out different order of commands to keep pet back.
4.Yes Lvl 60 you can call your 2 30 or 1 60 and i hanv't gone up far in tree but i guess you can get 3 pets and if can then yes 3 20lvl pets.
5.Your faction pets are gonna count as a regular pet cause i couldn
t call a commando and regular pet awhile back for a mission so i believe your pet's and droids...don't quote me thou but jsut my experience.
Well tried to answer best I could and hope I helped you some..also keep look out for master ch's cause I've meet the nicest people thru this proffession..and good luck

I am pretty sure you dont need to use normal medic skills to heal your pets - Bio Engineers make some good healing stims for pets only that dont require any medic knowledge, as for total number of pets to have out at one time, its a good question.
As for another combat prof instead - like rifleman, you can only use one at a time, with CH you can have the 2 forms of damage at the same time, though I hear pet damage in PvP is lowered by a percentage for some stupid reason.

ok i am a little confused, basicly everything i've read says CH sucks in pvp and pve... i have a few questions but first a little about my character, he is a master TKA and working on getting master CH i was planning on get smuggler dirty fighting 3 for low blow a knockdown, for runners but now i might need to drop that for novice medic so i can keep pet alive. my goal was to get 2 faction pets (or 1 at st, not sure how that works yet) 1 combat droid and 2 pets, getting doctor buffs and being the tank with pets off tanking or just pure damage, i thought this would make me a good soloer as well as maybe a group, i thought it might be good for pvp but now i a little worried... any opinions or exp with this template please let me know now a few questions, please assume all questions are asked about a master creature handler
1) just how bad is CH in pvp?
2) what would be the best pets for pvp and or pve with my template?
3) Is there any way to keep pets from attacking until you want them to? i've tried pet stay and even spaming pet follow me
4) ok assume at MCH you get level 60 pets, does this mean i will be able to summon either 1 level 60 pet or 2 level 30 pets or 3 level 20 pets?
5) can i still summon 2 pets, 1 droid and 2 faction pets?

1.) You are completely useless in PvP with your CH skills and will have to depend on your other skills. Your pet can disappear on you at any time, or stop listening, and you'll even then have to hope you can find a BE'd pet with decent PvP resists. If you do, it will still get shredded.
2.) BE'd pets. Period.
3.) Don't tell the pet to guard you and it won't attack on its own, unless its got a real bad temperment problem.
4.) Yes
5.) No (to the best of my knowledge. I can't prove this on my own as I don't have droids or faction pets, but everyone I know has to store them to take out their pets.)

I am a MCH/MTK so I can answer some of your questions.
1) just how bad is CH in pvp?
It is about as useful as Image Disigner in PVP. Pets take full damage, they do not get the damage reduction on the damage taken but they do get the damage reduction on damage they cause. So a 600 damage pet will hit for about 60 damage and it is all kinetic. Anyone but a newb will ignore your pets and head right for you. Oh, and pets decay on incap in PVP.
2) what would be the best pets for pvp and or pve with my template?
See above for PVP. If you want to try it get a pet with light armor and ranged attack. It will probably have to be a BE pet. For PVE get light armor and 60% kinetic resists. Don't worry about damage. As a TKM you can deal more damage in one hit than the pet can in 10.
3) Is there any way to keep pets from attacking until you want them to? i've tried pet stay and even spaming pet follow me
This sounds like you are using the Guard command. This causes the pet to automatically attack anything that attacks you. If you do not use guard, your pet should not attack until commanded to. You can put it on stay just to be sure.
4) ok assume at MCH you get level 60 pets, does this mean i will be able to summon either 1 level 60 pet or
You are correct. MCH gets level 70 though not 60. You need Management III to call a second pet and Master to call the third. Few use 3 pets at a time but alot use 2 cl 35 pets.
5) can i still summon 2 pets, 1 droid and 2 faction pets?
I believe that faction pets count against your pet count. Droids do not. I know you can call 3 pets and a droid at Master. I do not do faction but last I heard you could not call 3 pets and a faction pet.
CH is now pretty useless. As a MTK/MCH I only use my petsto gethigher missions. I leave them in town because they are more trouble than they are worth. They can not keep up with a swoop, there are timers on calling and storing them, they have to be healed, and there are alot of bugs like poofing/running. If you are after CH for the coolness factor, then your build can be a good one. I am a collector of rare creatures and the ability to cure my own poison/disease, heal wounds, and the damage output of TKM are invaluable. I only come to town to heal BF. If you are looking for something to make your toon more effective in PVE and PVP you skill points are better spent elsewhere.
