Now that they lost their armor rating they are pretty pointless. I have both a master de and a master bio engineer as a bio engineer I can still make cl 10 pets with about 4k ham up to 90 or so damage and 4% or so kinetic or energy resists with just random dna.

The new probe has 990 ham or so hits a bit harder and has up to 20% resists. I am not sure how well 16% more resists stacks up agains 3k more ham.

I will test both once it goes live but I expect the non ch pet will be more useful due mainly to having more ham. Since both are going to get beat like dogs more hp gives you greater leeway in stimming.

Hey Kaide


I know I said it before elsewhere, but you didn't forget about having the BE pet buffed by a Doc, and feeding it some Chef food before testing this did you?


We want a fair real life situation test after all.....oh and don't forget the batteries.


Looking forward to your results, well not really (if you see what I mean) cos we all know you are right, and the poor probot is now pretty pointless. Nerf the only decent thing we have eh? What a sad situation.


Cheers

The real problem is the Devs can not break free of the Beastmasters evil spell....


They keep trying to make the probots = to these level 10 pets...as long as they do that the bots will always be crap...


its really time the devs stopped trying to protect the CHs....


if droids could have a MAX of being equal to a level 15 pet it would not destroy the CH profession or seriuosly imbalance the game. Most NPCs and MOBS are level 18+, so a lvl 15 is still well below 95% of what you wil encounter in the game.

Ok, I've tried being civil about this and all I'm getting is outright verbal abuse. Well my patience has worn out, last week i came on here pointing out that the new probot stats with the medium armor and such was overpowered. I warned you all of a nerf and you decided to kick me in the ribs when I was telling you to not get attatched to the idea cause it was gonna be nerf'd eventually... now look, it's nerf'd i was right and you idiots who kicked me around were wrong. I'm telling you again now that the new stats they have given you are balanced, I was right once and I'm right again. You've been given a slight boost over the current probot as it is and still you complain. Some of you guys have become so bitter that you're blind to any reason. All of the 1 stars didn't stop me from being right last time so what makes you think it'll make a sods difference this time.


You guys don't deserve the attention your getting cause all you do is b*tch and complain despite everything thats being done for you. I have bearly heard even one of you give ANY thanks for the devs putting so much weight behind your professions development. Ungrateful brats.

You just couldn't resist, could you? If you're so disgusted with us, why bother expending the effort to post more flame-bait? You want the hammer to fall on you or something? Do us all a favor and just go away.

I really wish you guys would stop being so short sighted. Armor isn't the be all and end all of how tough soemthing is. Neither is HAM. The end result is that when the opponent is dead before you are then you are tougher than than they are. This is exactly why a player is able to defeat amob with 12k of HAM in a solo fight despite the fact that we have less HAM and armor than them, the fact is that a player is tough because they havea high DPS as well. Yes the armor is gone, so what. The balance has been struck with them being able to hit so much harder so that they end the fight before they are destroyed. When you realise that?









Kindly go away and ..... abuse yourself


We are being hurt enough already without you coming to get whatever sadistic pleasure it is you gain from your self seeking posts, useless calculations (that are always based on outdated data), and selfrighteous lecturing.


Now, bugger off !!








Shian: I like this. You are wonderfully articulate.Alas, Tal-N was unable to take it to heart.

Tal-N: You weren't right then, you aren't right now, and I'll go out on a limb and say that your next post is as ignorant or worse.

Hmmm ... well, once again accurate info about what is *really* changing in droids seems hard to come by. Is there armor? Yes ... well, no ... well, sort of but not the armor you were thinking of ...


Are you freakin' kidding me? Left hand, meet right hand ... you should be very happy together (but you're not).


From everything I've read in this thread, the conclusion seems pretty straightforward:


Existing probots: useless to everyone except complete n00bs


Post-patch probots: useless to everyone except complete n00bs -- nice decoration for living room, though



Unfortunate. I would love for DE's to make things I'd be interested in buying. Not on the visible horizon, it seems.

First you come in here calling for a nerf, then you come back to say "I told you so". And you're expecting love and civility from the DE's?


Somebody needs their head checked.
