So for those MCH/MBH toons out there - doesit ruin your mission if your pet does the DB? If not then this could be an exploit with the new DB timer and all...
An exploit? naaah, think of it as incentive to be a CH. Jedi can cheat death with avoid incap, why shouldn't we cheat the DB timer?
.
Pets that deathblow in the wild will deathblow without being issued a command to do so, and there is no command to issue a deathblow by a pet. They do what comes naturallly. So, yes, a rancor will DB an incapped player that's red to you. So will a greater sludge panther, ora gaping spider hunter. There is nothing the master can do about this...he can't command a DB, and he can't prevent a DB unless he calls the pet off at the last moment to stop it, and with the bugginess of pet attacks right now, that's problematic at best.
In an RP event, I had my huurton stalker guarding me, and one of the other participants, as part of the script, dueled me. The huurton got in the scrum, of course, and DBd the other participant. I apologized profusely, but as it turns out (and I did not know at the time) the other participant was supposed to be DBd, it was in the portion of the script I didn't have access to, so the other player was expecting it. It was part of the storyline which had to do with multiple clones and a virius that prevented cloning, so once you died, YOU DIED, which was the hook to the story.

I just hope some Jedi walks in here and starts yelling about how CH needs to be nerfed because they're overpowered and their pets can DB. I could always use a good laugh.

Good point, but by exploit I mean not "working as intended" - sounds like something that the devs didn't think of. Not that I'm going to go around and /report anyone for it. Personally, I hope that it's something that stays in, but I'm sure that there will be some grumbling over on the jedi boards.

Unfortunately, it's the whiners and the complainers among the Jedi who seem to be the vocal majority on the forums. That's part of what makes some people hate Jedi.

Hope that's not a blanket statement
Ugh - most of the jedi over on the jedi forum tend to make me nauseous.
