Creature Handler Archive

Last spawn I saw on Naritus was before the last Publish, and it was a double spawn, near the center of the map. That was almost a month ago. I haven't seen one since then, but I've pretty much given up purposely looking for them until or if the devs change the spawn rate for rares.

Six weeks of my life wasted. Six weeks. Not continuously, mind you, but a good 2 to 3 out of 7 days a week riding around on a landspeeder, marking waypoints, not covering the same ground twice.

The Great Plains Stalker is not worth it, folks. I was as gung-ho about it as the next guy upon seeing one that belonged to a friendfor the first time, but when you really get down to thinking about it carefully, their resists, their armor level doesn't make up for their incredible HAM and attack power. I would no sooner pull that thing out in PvP than I would pull my earlobes off with my bare hands, knowing full well it would receive a nice, quick incap. If you can't replace it with an equivalent concordant with hunting around for one without having to spend months finding it, it isn't worth having.

This is if you are a practical pet owner, of course. If you want one just for bragging rights, by all means, knock yourself out. I just personally don't believe in owning anything that isn't worth using, or that isn't replaceable. The GPS, its random spawn rate coupled with its awful stats for a level 50 creature do not make it worth the trouble of trying to find.

Not to say that if I just happen to be riding around on Corellia one day and one pops up I won't go after one and try and pop a baby, of course I will. But I am no longer going out of my way for a creature that -- in MY opinion -- probably doesn't even spawn every day (I'm serious, I think the spawn rate is THAT low).

If you're bound and determined, I wish you the best in finding one. I really do. If you're a PvPer, stick with the BE pets. That's all there is to it.
