Seems my preCU torton not converting is "a known issue" and hence CSR cannot help so I guess he is dead :-(


Which leaves me minus one tank pet now that I have returned to MCH.


I am guessing I want a CL70 pet to maximise the armour rating and health of the dude. So lets suppose I select a base

beastie with good health stats.


I had a look on swgcreatures and it seems like craggy bolma suits the sort of skin I had in mind, nice and big and tank looking,

I see also it has a possibility of having thick skin special which suits my purposes fine.


Anyway suppose I manage to find one my current idea would be to train it up with


Thick Skin Level 3

Vigourous Vitality 3

and maybe depending on how many slots they get Self Sacrifice 2.


What do you guys think about that ? Am I way of mark in terms of the thought process when constructing such a tank or do I have

it about right ? I am new to this new CH system so any advice would be welcome.


PS. I am aware to achieve the above would be a very labour intensive task.

You'll want aggression as well. You'll want at least level 2 if you're going to use a wild pet.



Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

I've been using a Mature Reptilian Flyer, level 69 with inate L3 aggression. He was tanking Lvl 80 18k health mobs yesterday and I didn't take a single hit. Coarse, I am lvl 80 and we were grouped. You'll have to heal them a bit.


Good luck to ya'

Does the aggression level show in the pet's stats?

Iconic professions. Ok. Chewbacca was a Scout. How come that didn't stay?


When you think about it, aren't almost all of the original professions iconic? You can find something on each of them in the Expanded Universe.


I miss being a Ranger. It was more than a profession, it was a virtual way of life. It wasn't for everyone. But those who took it up became family.
