Thread: Swordsman and CH?
It's quite good when due with ranged people. Noboy can run faster than my Rancor.
yea a gurreck must be the fastest in the game. that or you can use ranged beasts. I just bought (I don't tame anymore) a Toxic Battelord that has ranged stong poison, stun and blind attack. It also has 60% resists across for tanking. Its a wonderful animal to work with as a 2Her.
If your rich you can find some extinct (pre patch) pets with AR2. when I say rich I mean 1-2 million per pet.
Med skills are a good friend as well.
Another vote for Swordsman/CH
I am a Wookie, so I have my Bowcaster doing mind damage at range -- I also have my scout traps doing mind damage at range --- then when they get close, I have my sword doing mind damage -- and the pets are just a bonus.
I am a swordsman/CH/medic and it works great. With a Graul or Graul Mauler you can easily solo on the upper tier planets and rarely take any hits if you are careful wth your range. They aren't even close to the best pet's we can get. If you do PVP just keep a nice variaty of pet's in your datapod. I know too many people that die because they think their bigpets are the best for PVP instead of using pet's with resists to compliment who you are fighting.

well... i used to be ch swordsman rifleman medic, but to me it was lame. i was so excited when i got my first pet, and then realized that it wasnt that fun, but it might just be because of my play style. i like doin things on my own, being unique (that was another problem), and to me it just didnt seem very badass. its great for pve, if ur careful, and it helped me level in my swordsman and med skills quite a bit, and my carbine skills once i dropped rifleman. but in pvp all ur almost ever gonna use is ur pet and ur gun, or if no gun than just ur pet. im not saying its not effective, i just like usin my sword. o and when u use pets in pvp u get A LOT of grief, and i dont really blame them (except they were kiting).
what seems more badass.... havin ur big ass cat chase down ur enemy while you watch him get ripped to shreds, or poppin off some shots with ur gun before u send a ranged kd their way, and lay down the mind bleed and the head hit with a big ass hammer (hopefully a sword in the future).
i pick the former, but its all a matter of opinion.
I was using the trio (2H, CH, and my level stimC medic skills 500-1300heal) last night in Dathomir. I originally set out to find the Tour Ship Wreckage when i ran into a large group of Nightsisters. I like Nightsisters but.. they don't like me!
Anyway I have a BE Rancor (12000 Ham avg) which I only pull out in such inhospitable planets. I don't sit around at the starport and show him off... not my style.
If you work with your pet you can kite fairly well and kill 50-125+ level mobs. I wouldsend him in to attack a Sister (dark red cons) and then move back to 100+ meters from the group. First I would heal him as a Sentinel or Spellweaver canware down even a Rancor fairly quick. Then i would apply the mind bleed combo to the NPC and run back a bit so the Rancor would takeover again. After a few heals to him -she would bleed out her mind in about a minute and that would be that.
I can't really think of many class combos that can do that. It doesn't work well with DJM's since one or two hits to your pet.. any pet and its history but with most mobs in the galaxy the 2H, CH and a few med skill comboare where my character is for now.
fairly elementary tactics but they work. you can get MCH in about 1-2 weeks and the med skills in a night at the tavern in Anchorhead.
oh I found the ship.. many , many , many purboles there 50+
