Thread: Wait... C HANDLERS have nothing but a tree of teaching commands. Would we lose Programing?!?!
uh.....
It just hit me (as an ex-MCH) that the entire CH tree was just new mods for higher taming and creature level and the only skills actualy learned were the abilities to teach commands like group or follow. For example the guard command took a certain box of the CH tree.
Does this imply that everyone aside from DH lose the ability to program thier own droids? Or would DH only benefit for gaining skills be higher end droids?
Ifnothing elsethe ENGINEER is responcible for programing.
So what would even be left to go in a new skill tree? A whole tree of certs? Or a whole tree of +level mods?
*sigh*
What do you think? DH would have to get Programing as a skill, not like they can train Droid Mounts! What a crappy Profession this is going to be. 5-6 different combat Droids to choose from. No ability to Tame wild Droids (unless they nerf Droidekas first. Let's face it, 25k HAM, Heavy armor... not a chance).
You have a good point, this is another reason DH shouldn't exist. If Droids could only be programed by a single class, there would be even less interest in owning one.
Under a new system, your droids would be produced with ONE thing only:
A wind-up key.

Yes, but DEs would not get the wind-up key certification. Some l33t d00d that flunked out of Mos Eisely High School would be the only one to be able to use such a key.
Droid's will require batteries every 10, not 30 minutes.
That's the problem with a DH profession - what skills would it have? The only reasons to have a DH is to A) use higher CL Droids, and B) Use multiple droids. That's only a part of the CH profession; what about the rest?
That's why I want a formal proposal from the Devs on the specifics of this hypothetical Droid Handler class.
Skills trees for a DH:
Droid Taming - allows the DH to tame wild droids, like the droideka's on LOK.
Droid Repair - Allows the DH to fix droids (removing another useful droid function - the repair mod)
Haggling - Allows a automatic reduction in any amount /tipped to a DE, or when paying into any DE vendor
Taunt - Allows the DH to make fun of DE's
