Thread: Barc -vs- Varactyl
Feathered Turkeys? Isn't that a bit redundant?
Anyway, as far as vitality loss goes, a pet will only lose vitality if the enemy normally death blows and has nothing else to go after. Since they usually go after you after they kill your pet, rarely will they lose vitality, and then only if you are extremely careless with them. I've been a CH since launch, still have my 3rd pet that I ever tamed, and he's down to 84 vitality without ever using a vitality pack on him. And only because I used him as one of the main pets to train CH with, and because it was before enemies would attack the master after the pet fell.
Both of them are pretty much immortal, it all comes down to which you like better really. Mounts do have extra use now that Kashyyyk is largely a no vehicle zone, they are able to do limited fighting if need be. It would be even better if you could still attack while riding them (Obi-Wan does in the movie, hacker!). The vehicle is nice, and its cool as the only speeder that holds 2 people, but really, there are 2-3 other vehicles that work just as well, while the Varactyl is the fastest mount without question.

So if, the Varactyl is so much better, then why do you want a BARC at all?
Simple becuase I dont have it I think they are both cool. but if i had to choose between them I would have to select the varactyl.
Dont get me wrong they are both kewl and i actually perfer the barc over an av-21.

Yup, also, it works for RP with my Ranger char too.

I use the varactyl when I have to in kashyyyk although whoever said it was fast must be 90 years old, I don't have a kaadu but I'd imagine they are a bit faster.

Someone on the CH forum did all sorts of mount speed tests, the varactyl is the same gallop speed as a kaadu, but walking and running it's MUCH faster than any other mount.
well,.. im glad i have my varactyl,... im tired of having my speeders blow up.
Vehicle disablement is grossly obscene and abusive
I got a BARC from my guild mate today. I still have the Varactyl and I still use it a lot. Truth be told, I haven't seen many Varactyls around. I haven't seen one in Coronet for a few days, I just saw ONE today in Theed. Thats all. I love my Varactyl as I said before, it has become more rare then the BARC its self.
actually...you do not need to start a new account. i did it (and recived the BARC) by registering the expansion with the account key located on the back of the total experience manual

I believe its because your have to start a new account with the Total Expirence it wont just update what you have. so the BARC is rarer. The other 2 points your mentioned are objective and subject to disagreement.
