Droid Engineer Archive

So last night I was doing my usual Artisan mission runs to just outside town and grinding the cash away into DExp. I got into a discussion with a nearby Master CH about the relative values of droids to creatures, he originally wanted to duel me Droid to Critter. After a while he runs off asking me to wait there. 10 minutes later he gives me a trained pet with the cry of 'Welcome to the darkside!'

A Cowardly Gurreck, 3200 HAM, 140-160 damage... named of all things (DEDespair)Now isn't this the same stats, even a little better, than the old Probot that was too powerful?!?

Aarn Munro, Lowca, Droid Engineer (4324), Pistoleer (0031), Master Artisan (4444)

Of course, the disproportion is outstanding.Now not only our probot is weaker than an average pet but they can have up to three of them.

This is a real proble but it will take a lot of time before they take some time to read our forum...they are focusing heavily on improving the CH class because many more ppl are concerned. Of course this is a vicious circle since it will encourage even more ppl to choose the CH profession.

I'm sorry... you must not have seen the stats on an AT-ST ... which any imperial can own and use 3 of at a time btw. 18000 HAM... 1200 dmg.. 70-100% resists

Dont forget the heavy armor.

I have one of those kitty things that a BioE can make. 2400 HAM, 140ish damage. 20%ish resists, with light armor. When I send it and my 40% medium armor advanced probot at a mob, the kitty is incapped VERY quickly, while the probot just gets whaled on for a goodly time.

Of course, the kitty gets up when it is "killed," while the probot is beyond repair. Because that only makes sense... (I want whatever the dev team is smoking/drinking/eating - I need to learn how to completely ignore reality)

IMPROVING the CH class? Have I missed something. Trust me, you guys do not want the attention we're getting. As a creature handler, everytime I doanything I get wacked with the nerf bat.

THey havn't done ONE thing to improve the class.

I do feel for you guys. Nerfed probots, nerfed storage units, all this hurts my class as well, which is probably why they did it. They do these things to hurt the creature handlers, only you guys got in the way.

I've recently gotten renewed respect for probots. I was out running around with a friend, and she attracted a big thug-type mob. It incapped her in seconds, and then incapped me moments later. The third groupmember, my advanced probot with level 3(x2) armor, held out against him until I was able to get up and finish him off.

I've also had adv probots killed with ease, so I'm not sure how it held up against the beating so well. But I was impressed, and happy that I didn't have to replace it. I may be forced to give it a name now.

Arrrghh, was just going to go and try a new Probot with the twin L4 armor, and I seem to have mistakenly used my Duralloy for grinding steel and now it seems Lowca is out of Duralloy! <whimper> Just slap me...
