How is we still can not make a droideka???

I mean... when you go to the DE trainer in Mos Eisley... on Naboo... he has WHAT sitting next to him (broken but it is there) a driodeka...

SO... why is it we can not make these??? And will we ever be able to???

I doubt it. 1 droideka is about equal in power to a Jedi
They may give us a nerfed version though

I'd like to see an equivolent to the RIS quest, where the DE's go on a quest for a droideka or IG series schematic.

What I'd like to know is why can't we have IG Assassin droids? They don't even have to worry about art or animation or logic or anything like this, because it already exists! I found one of these out in the wild on Corellia and fought it. I killed it fairly easily, but still. I could understand the argument against including new droids types because of the work it would take to create models and animate them, but that excuse doesn't exist in this case.

They are not, there are atleast one mission where you shall destroy a Droideka, and me and my Sludge Panther killed on without any bigger problem. They are pretty cool and I would trade my pet any day against a Droideka(or any combat droid).

They're already on Lok. Those droidekas are fine with me.

god yes this is exactly what is needed a decent combat droid, even better if it is made to be slightly better than level 10 pets !!!

then you would see "starwarsy"

A current probot is "slightly" better than a CL 10 pet --- your wish has been granted :>

Well... can we get an answer from Thunderheart or a dev on this??? Will we have driodekas??? If not then what???

The probot is CL16 and rightfully so. The 820 HAM is an illusion. If you factor in the medium armor and the 40% resists, the probot is as good as any CL15 non-CH pet.

I agree the advance probot is the new non-ch tank of choice

Many of the CL creatures that can be used as pets have 800 HAM or less, with no armor at all, and resist in the 0-25 range. Some of them can hit for 100-120 though which I think is more than a probot.

Also you can put doctor buffs on them, not sure if you can do that to a droid.

Also, can a droid be healed in battle like a pet can?

Droid wounds can be healed. Vitality and damage cannot. Droids can't be buffed. Probots do only 50-56 dmg, often only 36 or so in practice. Not a replacement for low-lvl Ch pets right now.

probots as they are are better tanks than most non CH pets right now (except those with light armor). They have medium armor and 40% resists, they can take much more punishment than a bantha can for example. Problem is, many people don't know how armor works, so they only understand that 2200 HAM>820 HAM and 150 dmg>50 dmg, so they say the creatures are superior, when they're not.
