With master ranger, how much more +rescue (from clothing/armor attachments) would I need for it to be effective on 80+ mobs for me to keep aggro off pets easily?
(im ranger/CH, and with trap droid, i want to be able to kite mobs with pets attacking indefinitely.)

Ooh, essay question, can I answer first?!
You would need all the +rescue SEA's (Skill Enhancing Attachments) from every server that were ever looted by anyone in the last 25 months. And then you still wouldn't have enough. Rescue is broken since the CU removed the /peace command, and if it did work, your pets would have to actually issue the /peace command for the creature to break agro off them and come after you.
I think the command you're looking for it /taunt. At least I think that's it, I don't play a brawler. All you need to do to keep agro off them is keep it on you, by doing more damage, or healing the pets, or by taunting the mob.

Considering you will die in the first encounter with any creature...and the fact that rescue is broken and has been since the CU...moot question.
You have no combat skills, hence the first mean creature will eat your lunch, then munch on the pets. Look at the updates, siccing a pet on a creature means the creature aggros you. Yeah, that trap droid will do a lot (NOT). I figure you will spend most of your time in the cloner and buying unsurance.
Read what has been written in the forums -- read the guides -- do searches. Most of us did not respec into Ranger.

Holy hostility batman.
Trap droids do work, thanks, I've had it chain snare mobs for me 1,000 times until Pub 21.
Thanks for the word on rescue being broken, at least I know that now. Maybe ill just get 0/0/0/4 Ranger, lol

Yeah, I've never had a trap droid, but I heard 21 broke them.

21 pretty much broke droids (again? still?) even worse than before. As far as I know the armor effectiveness bug is still around, and now trap and harvest droids don't work, auto-repair doesn't work, etc. Kinda stinks if you sort of had some nice tacitics around hunting with your probot...

Aye, droids are broke, eerr broke'er! lol There is an armor bug but don't know if it's only a display bug or actual bug. On the best droids armor may show around 6000 but on second call it drops to 1217. Hopefully the radical issue will be fixed soon since it effects everybody, including BH on bomb droids (that may get attention). The harvest bug may take a LONG while since it only effects a few. It would be nice to use since you can have item storage and have the droid store it's own harvest, but who wants to use them if they help you harvest less?
Yes I am an MDE on the ranger boards but I have been filling out my Ranger/Rifleman toon. Had himabout a year and onlylike the master boxesin both. Seems both professions (MDE and Ranger) are a different breed of player because there isn't much fame or fortune in either. We live by our own standards and don't follow the norm. I don't want to be what everybody else is, nor do I want to grind 'x' profession, attain jedi, then move on to another game. I'll still be here when the cows come home, or till they kick me out.
If you start seeing me around here more, try not to beat up on me too much! lol
