I recently picked up CH and started tame critters. I go into combat, go prone and attempt to cover and get the message "unable to cover .. blah, blah". I am 65m from my target and have nothing around me within 45m with the exception of my pet. I do not have the ability to train group yet, so my pet is not grouped with me. If I send him into the fray, then cover ... all is well. But I only get 1 conceal shot off that way because as soon as the pet hits the mob, it charges me.


Will grouping the pet solve the cover issue? Is there something I can do to make the pet hold a little hate so that it doesn't override my conceal shot? Without a pet, at 65m, I usually get off 3 conceal shots before they can detect me, now I'm lucky to get 1 off before they are right on top of me. Any help or comments is always welcome.

Yep. I'm a MR/MR. Cover is possible only when all non-grouped mobs are over 20m away. Period. Once you can train group, you won't have this problem.


What I do, is I pull my pet out, around 100m out, if I can't group it,because I don't want to, then I tell it to stay and move forward. Cover. Conceal shot, conceal shot, sniper shot and "a" and the pet charges. It's a work around.


What most often happens with me, is this: I hunt with a core group of friends. Two of them are CH's, one being a MCH. If we don't have a full group of 8, she pulls a high level pet per open group slot. Everyone else pulls their pets out and keeps them with them.


I move off some distance away, pull my pet, set it to stay and to guard me. I then move 21m away from it and cover. My pet never moves close enough to uncover me, unless I get hit, when I no longer care about cover. I will pull with conceal if I need to do so (usually on pickets, so we don't get 5 of them.)


Anyway, until you get train:group, you won't be able to cover.

Whats really annoying is when you jump off your speeder and try and drop into cover, but can't beacuse the speeder counts towards the "something is near" count!!! How DAFT is that?!?!?
