I agree. I am master commando and this is my 4th time getting novice fencer (couldnt decide whether I wanted to invest the extra 14 skill points opposed to TKA and have had mix and matches from both) and I have decided I will master it rather than being just another commando TKA cookie, not to mention I dont need 2 professions getting nerfed to all hell.
Anyway, I have used savage quenkers for everything, and when you are grouped witha pet you hit your XP cap. They got 10% more kinetic resist I believe than hurton huntresses but have only half the HAM. Last time I had fencer, it took one day of play to get a whole column.

Personally, I like using mounts for running missions. If it ever happens that I get incapped (andI do, for various reasons [for example, going afk to mow the lawn real quick]), a falumpaset is much easier to get moving [just a stim A
)than a speeder bike (walk back to town, go off planet if there's no garage)

Maybe this is a newbie question, but why group with a droid? Are you talking about an attack droid or just any old droid?

You get more exp when grouped

You group with a level 1 droid for two reasons, one is you get more exp. The second reason, is that if the over all calculated group strength of your group is lower, you will get missions that are closer, when i wasn't grouped with my surgical droid, i was getting most my missions within the 900-1200m range, when i did, i got missions within the 300-400m range.

I did giant baz msns on dath. I took a droid to group with and received 4800-5000 xp per baz(usually get 6 per lair) and 5000 out of nest. Receive about 11k creds each msn. The bonus is a lot of time there will be a snapper nest near also and they sometimes kick 10+ out and they run about same xp as the baz. They do poison though. Always remember to group with something to get the +25% xp per kill.

that's odd, 90% of my baz nitch missions have rancors next to them, i'm beggining to think they hold some sort of symbiotic relationship.
