Thread: CH Jedi ?
The idea was that they were going to nerf all the classes and the creatures, but they were doing the creatures first. Well.... they didn't manage to get around to the character side of the balance. Sicne we are the creatures in this game we were nerfed and no one else was. I still do fine with CH in PVE because the critters I'm fighting got nerfed about as hard as we did, so no big deal. In PVP however, and if you are the sort to get jeleous of how good other classes are, we have issues.
The only thing they did get right in the creature re-balance was to make crittes of a simmilar level similar in difficulty. Used to be Grual Maulers were about the best critter we could have, and they were CL 34 (I believe) CL 70 critters were useless except for a few extincts with medium armor and such. So dabblers could get the best pet available by taking one line of CH so few folks bothered to master it.
Prior to that we were just stupidly broken. No one had buffs and we had 3 CL50 pets in play at the same time. It was absurd. (although to be fair many felt that kind of power was fun)

I soloed (no pet out - got aggroed) an Ancient Bull Rancor cl96 at 1 4 3 3 Swordsman - not sure if thats supposed to happen. We only get up to cl70. If an average (im wooike on this char had no armour just doc buffs and brandy) player can beat animals above cl100 solo what chance have cl70's got. Its not CH they nerfed as such - its most of the animals in the game have been nerfed so much it makes our pets look trivial - damn shame.

If you check the character builder: [url]http://swgcb.yogn.net/[/url] You'll notice that there are NO new jedi skills that specifically help the CH :x There stuff in there to help with fighting, crafting, hunting, and just about everything else except us. We could have had some great skill bonuses with the jedi additions. One that comes to mind is a taming bonus, or the ability to calm an aggro beast down (null it's aggro so you can tame it). How about letting force sensitive CH's the ability to control higher than 70 CL pets ? I'm sure there are many more great ideas that will never happen.
