iam a mch and a tkm and i have been a mch since august of 2003. now which proffesion can you guess i hardly use anymore? mch, thats right. i hardly ever use my pets anymore because they simply are not usefull at all anymore.
being a tkm i can tank 10 times better than my pets can. hell i dont even use mounts at all because they are totally worthless. i love mch and i hate to say but iam really trying to think why i should stay mch. besides the thrill of taming new animals which are of no use to me in the first place and that i wont even use in combat, why should i stay?
i have kept on saying it will get better it will get better but i fear it will not. actually it has only gotten worse. i know i always thought i would be a mch to the end but i really dont see any reason in keeping it anymore. im sorry but i have put up with all the brutal beatings by the devs nerfing us time and time again and i cant take it anymore. for those of you who never experienced ch in the beginning this isnt all that bad for you, but for me to see what ch was and what it has become it is hard. ch used to be a looked up to proffesion and was admired and people respected chs. now we are made fun of in pvp and we are out tanked by tka. the usefullness of ch has passed. it is no long a usefull or viable proffesion anymore.

I'd have to agree even as a almost master rifleman. Good for an occasional tank but really I find myself using pets less.

Do you really think tk is going to be over looked by the devs ? I don't, It works to well. When it's all said and done ch may just be helpful again. besides if nothing else pets are good for those critters running off after the beat down you've just gave em. I'm also tk/ch combo.

im not trying to knock mch, hell i am one but all im saying and pointing out is that we are no longer usefull at all. for the occasional pleasure of pulling them out to see them i never use my pets.

no i dont, but i fear ch will. with all the stuff thats happened to use i think its gotten very obvious that the devs regret ever creating our proffesion

Not saying you're knocking ch or any type of flame intended,I've even thought along the same lines. I'm just thinking that to give up a profession for another, you may get nerfed again anyway. As far as Ch not wanted, don't see it, that would pretty much screw be's into the ground again. I don't think we'll see alot of positive change for ch until the dev's swing the bat at a few other professions.

I agree that it is getting to be a less viable profession to use but I still use my pets all the time in PvE and find that they fill that slot fairly effeciently. Unfortunately I would also like to PvP and I really can't do that as too many of my skill points are used up in CH which could be better used for defense mods oroffensive skills. I guess that is the dive I have to take. I do agree with the statement about the forever search for rare but useless pets. I mean why can't we have at least one good pet at master no matter how rare it is? It is sad that the once mighty Graul Mauler was the ultimate tank and you didn't even have to be master to tame or call it and now we have no good tanks even at master. It is very sad how much this profession has been cut off at the knees over the months.

I'm 300k unarmed exp away from TKM myself. There's a few misconceptions in this thread that should get cleared up.
First, the original poster is right about not needing the pets anymore. I'm far more effective without a pet there to get poisoned and diseased and bled and waste away all their health and my time while I wait to be able to store them. I've been using pets of late to tag creatures from mission lairs that are surrounded by aggros, or to help out when a muon downer or powerboost comedown kicks in mid fight.
They're also really handy for boosting the exp you get per kill, and reducing the amount you harvest per creature.
I'll be dropping MCH when I'm out of skill points.

i am curently MCH/MD and like the combo for pve. i can still do high paying missions even with no combat professions. and i am good support in pvp cause i can stand back and they dont know who's pets are they are.
that being said. if in the rebalancing of combat professions if the overall usefulness of being MCH doesn't improve i will most drop it to get a combat profession. but i am waiting till the smoke clearsi enjoy my pets .
as far as useful tanks my lvl 60plus BE pets tank anything with or without buffs. with buffs they are almost unstoppable in pve. of course pvp as usual is totally different.

MCH/MPistoleer here. Since the last publish, pets running/storing/etc, made pets useless for two weeks, I did not use them. I found out that that I also did not need them. Missions were all faster without them. No down time for healing, making camp because of auto store, and so on. Yeah, I had to run around a bit more and use better tactics but I do not really need them. I use good Ubese armour that costs less than a good BE tank pet and became my own tank with the help of buffs and food that cost less than pet stims per lair.

this is soooo true. any bio pet worth anything costs a crap load. i know many master bios charge in the hundreds of thousands to even millions for bio pets. im sorry but i got a 75% kinetic resist ubese armor suit with low ham costs for 300k, but a good bio pet could cost me 650k. its just not logical to buy a pet that expensive when the highest stats you can get is 60% kinetic and light armor with 12k ham. im sorry to say but i have one of these supposedly uber bio pets and it still got mowed down in pvp. i mean if pets are just meant as a distraction they arnt even pulling that off well. they dont seem to distract too well when they get taken down in a matter of seconds.

pet have one good thing going for them for a solo player, they allow you to get higher paying missions! other than that they have become worthless.

Myself as a wookiee i need my pets, because they are my armour and shields. I put a lot of credits in the pet-stims and i don't use be-pets (i know they are much better then the tamed ones) because of my roleplay aspect. I also took up ranger, mastered that already. CH i had one month earlier and didn't master it yet still at 3/3/2/3. I also took pikeman last week to get some combatskills myself but with no armour and no pets this is suicide. But i think pikeman looks cool, but think i will go rifle again. Don't have the skillpoint spare to master an other combat profession other than ch. And I know I have deemed myself to no pvp, got an instant kill if i try.
