Creature Handler Archive

I am MCH/MCM with the rest in FS and some marksman. I am not a major damage dealer, but when I add up the damage from three pets, my CM attacks, and a decent pistol I can hit for pretty good damage. Add to that a variety of heals and messing with the aggro using bacta spray I can manage a group of MOBs at a lair pretty well. The only thing you arent strong on is primary weapons damage. I have some nice fire and poison enhancers that get me over 300 damage per tick, have a snare, debuffs, etc... I rarely use the full force of my attacks when grouped, but when I am solo and get everything sticking, the MOB is usually 2/3 dead before I turn to my pistol. What I like about it is my pets arent just another DoT, I have to balance all my attacks to get the most out of them. Since my weapons damage is lower than a combat prof, my pets become vital. With CM I can keep myself and my pets alive. By using heals and CM attacks the aggro will shift constantly between me and my pets. You will probably have more combat success by choosing a prof like rifleman or something. TBH, I only keep this template because I love both CH and CM

Not necessarily. As long as you are a wookiee of at least CL54, you can use an assault bowcaster. I have no rifles skills at all (marksman or rifles), and I can use one since I'm CL54; I just don't have any special abilities I can use with it.

i got a MPistol/MCH. Works for me real well. But i think any combo with CH will work fine, you just need to make sure you know how to use your CH skills...ur...pets, and your other profesion(s) skills too.

Thanks for the advice so far

Perhaps it's better to narrow it down,

Anyone have experiences bad or good about either going, melee or ranged with CH?

Medic/Doc I guess too.

Others would be Ranger,

I guess Commando, BH, Smuggler might be possible

Bio -engineer seems to be a prof that would be useful, but does it take away too much combat ?

Suggestions gratefully appreciated

Xao.

I spent a lot of time just trying to find something I could enjoy along with creature handler. I was a master dancer, master ranger, and finally settled on master pistoleer.I think as long as you enjoy what you do you will never be bored in game.

I have MCH/TKM/medic 0-4-0-0 I tank and heal self let pets do most of the damage.

Right now I am MCH and MCM... It seems to work for me. I have been hesitant to give up my MCM because of the fact that I can rez. I mostly send my pets to attack while I hit targets with bio & chem warfare to weaken it. Because I am no longer a Carbineer I don't have the combat abilites that I used to.. but MCM/MCH seems to work for me.
