Thread: How sad are Probots?
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.
Ah remembering the days when probots used to have 3150 ham, those were the days
Zhuge Liang
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.
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. 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.
