Looking for a specific creature without at least Ranger xx3x is amazingly frustrating. You'll essentially be running/flying in large circles looking for the creature you want.


Having gotten Master Scout to begin training Ranger, I'll also note that earning Survival xp will tax your sanity.

make one campsite, build it, then sit in the camp crafting campsites. you max your survival in a camp in about 20 minutes so destroy the camp after 20, then use another one and keep crafting. it blows but its not too too bad. if you have a guild / friends have them stop by frequently.

Phased out MCH.... Theyve nerfed my entire profession. now wt.f do i do? We play online games because we enjoy the immense level of detail and diverse options and the ability to do a near-infinite number of activitites and professions. with every balance more and more of our options are stripped away and the game is slimmed down and streamlined. its currently basically a bugged console game. if i wanted to play a console SW game, i would play the KOTOR series because the knights of the old republic games are fantastic. even lego SW for my son's gamecube is more enjoyable at this point.

It allows you to be close to the critter or enemy for looting and allows you to apply stims to pet if necessary. The Ranger aspect allows you to track and find critters.

That would be my dream template ......except for the fact that i wouldn't be able to heal myself.....very usefull as i often hunt alone ...and unbuffed.....


You need no skills to apply a stimpack d on a pet, but you need to waist 15 SP to be able to use a stim A on yourself .... i hope they fix that in the combat upgrade...

You won't be able to heal damage in battle, true, but you'll be able to mediate away wounds after a battle.


I used this template in JTL beta, and it's very, very effective when you're just running around looking for babies to tame.

As a predominately Ranger type with a few CH boxes...

I would advise CH if you want the big stuff and high level pets. If you're just interested in the cat types... go Ranger instead.

If it's about finding them...
Just hire a Ranger to do your tracking for you.

Gives us Rangers some sort of income beyond selling meat and furs.

I use this template too and at completion I am hunting Frenzied Grauls (cl 65) unbuffed and unarmoured, let my combat pets attack and take aggro then chime in to up the DPS.


Additionally I have Stat migrated so that my power boost gives me a 500 pt buff to HAM, lasts for 10 mins and can be immediatedly reapplied, oh and Melee mitigation 3 aint bad either 8)

True .... but 2 buts


1. I enjoy group-hunts too .... taking on a krayt without stims is suicide (even buffed/armored you need to heal yourself)

2. For taming, when trying to get a bull rancor baby, or other high level critters, you need to be able to keep yourself alive whele emptying the spawns ...

I am that template save i'm only CH 4424 right now. I have had no issues with not being able to heal myself. I can wander into a enraged bull rancor lair and roll them without any major problems. They may knock me down once or twice but even on the ground with 2, 3 or 4 on me they can't bring down the health bar enough for me to even pay attention to it. I have even managed three ancient bull rancors once. They got me down to about a third. My cl 10 BE cat didn't make it but once the first was down my health still held with two hitting . I do have some excellent Hunting armor, 80% kinetic and a 84% base after slicing. The only healing i have to worry about is keepping my grinding cat healed. Which is usually no more than a couple Cs a lair.
