my baby kliknik hunter is about as good as one lol. she had 940 ham as a total baby. and shes only a cl31 pet. then again, probes do get med armor, which is nice, but with 830 ham and 50 damage, more or less useless

Less sad than those who enjoy gloating over others' misfortunes, I s'pose.

In Zina's defense she was one of us for a long time. Now, indeed, she has gone over to the dark side: CH.


I forgive her. DE sux0rs.

Actually, I've been pretty impressed with the probot lately. It's saved my butt multiple times the last couple days and been a great tank for me. I'm able to make them with medium armor, 25% resists now. I've had my probot, Valkyrie tank multiple even womp rats(even when grouped with him) long enough for me to kill each rat. While hunting with friends we got jumped by a pack or nargalachs(sp). I don't know how it did it but it got at least 3 on it(instead of me) and tanked ALL 3 for a minute or two. Didn't save me from dying but when I folded pretty fast I was more impressed. It also tanked 2 fambaa at the same time long enough for us to get organized enough to take down the 3 we were fighting.

At least for starting planets I'm happy with the probot except for the weapon. I still believe that we need better attack droids for the more advanced planets and pvp.

I think the probot is really sad- especially if you think about the fact that anyone can get a non-ch pet that has 3200 HAM, 150-160 damage / 2.0 sec -- compaired to the probot... what is the point 3 times the amount of damage, 4 times the HAM and the fact that everyone can own one -- man, I thought the devs nerfed the probot because it was too powerful and everyone could have one. oh well- I'll keep powering mine up until he has too much damage and then build a new one- at least he looks good

The advantage of owning a probot is that it allows someone to have an extra fighting entity out, over what they could have with just pets, right? Also, they don't seem todie as easily as theydid a few weeks ago, but their damage output is very low, indeed.

The PROBOTs armor plating makes it a pretty nice tank, but it's flaw is (pitiful) damage. It's not that the PROBOT is sad, it's that it's use has changed. Now it's the tank, the creature gets killed by other pets/weapons, not the PROBOT. With dual Armor4 plates, it's going to take far far less damage than your 3200HAM Cowardly Gurreck with no armor.


The game isn't based on one stat (HAM) You have to look at all of them.

3 AT/ST's commanded to attack a probot will destroy it in one volley.

3 AT/ST's commanded to attack a probot will destroy it in one volley. LOL, I to hope this was a joke. From the sounds of it Krayts have trouble standing up to that many At-Sts.


Yes my probot with 40% resists will stand up longer than my cowardly Gurreck, I personally dont care if it causes more damage as long as it lasts, thats just more xp for me.

Probot is not that bad. Just have to use it correctly. Use as a distraction, or to tank enemy NPC's while you attack...let it take the damage. Much better now that armor works. Keep 2 in data pad, when one drops, pop a camp and pull the other. Name them the same so you don't have to change macros.


Sure, the attack stinks. But, I dont want it taking all may xp anyways. Would be nice to be able to heal white bar, like other pets.


My 2 cents.
