Clara's Bio Pets! (Special Crafted)

[Ancker]

Hey Creature Lovers ^.^

(No Charlie...! No!)

Story:
Been working a long time trying to understand and find out how the whole BE system works, and recently cracked it! (Almost)
I wanted to make myself some sweet pets for PVE (Maybe PVP?), so decided to do a little challange.
Now keep in mind, These pets are customized for my preference, the ideal PVE pet just need 60% Kin and Light Armor, but I wanted something special!

I made a little list of things I wanted my pets to Have!:
Challange:
Armor Rating: Light - Main goal was to have Light Armor for extra survival.
Ranged - I wanted all my pets to be ranged
Max Total Level 70 - In order to have all 3 pets out at the same time, they had to be around 23 each.
All Special Attacks - I wanted to be able to get all states up "Blind/Intimidate/Stun/Dizzy" - Strong Disease + Poison as bonus. (Using Knockdown/Posture Down myself for instant feedback)
Overall Strong Resist - I sacrificed a bit Kinetic resist to raise all other resistance (almost) up to around the same level. I'm not happy about Acid
Medium Damage - Unfortunately trying to raise the damage higher will increase the pet level to much.
Semi low HAM bars - I was not to concerned about the HAM bars, since I can raise them with DOC buffs and Pet Food <3

And here are the results, hope you like them ^.^

Definitely let me know what you guys think. <3

Wonderful! So that's your secret project

I have an old guild mate that does CH (well he did it in SOE SWG) that just came over a few days ago. He will be interested in this! I'll tell you his name in game later

Cool project, I love the concept.

I may have to get my ranger looking into this, in about 6 months time

How do they guys stand up in PVE/PVP?

How do they guys stand up in PVE/PVP?

Unfortunately I haven't tested them out fully.
I did a little PVP vs a couple of Swordman Stackers, but the Pet-Hit chance is very low, most of the time they miss, even against normal non-stackers range players they seem to have a hard time hitting.
When they land their special states, it does not stick for very long either.

In PVE I only tried them against Krayt. (A bit to crazy, I know) They could actually hit sometimes, but their survival is very, very low. they don't regain their HAM as quickly as we players do (even with Doc Buffs), its just a matter of time before they drop. Unless you Pet Stim them, but not really worth it compare to just attacking yourself.

At this time Bio-Engineer pets is unfortuantely not very useful for higher-end stuff.
Bio-Engineer Pets compare to a Creature Handler tamed pet, is very underwhelming state wise. I tried to push some of the BE Pets to the extreme, but compare to a Baby Rancor, I couldn't get an overall better pet.
The only thing a BE Pet is better at, is specific Special Attacks, otherwise Creature Handler Baby Tame is better

I'm not exactly sure how Bio-Engineer or Creature Handler worked back then, but right now it feels like it needs a little love, atleast to be a useful profession as the other Elite Professions.

Funny, since on the CH forums I believe ED uses BE pets as a justification that CH is fine the way it is.

Def. a class that needs a buff.

Got my mBE mCH Ranger 1x1x now (Stepppo who was to be rangery may be redundant now ) and have made a few things. Getting into the idea of 2nd gen pets too.

Been fiddling with the relationships between prowess, hardiness and fortitude (ie getting prowess calculated from fort and hardi). Not easy. Anyway interested in getting three kwi's as you have there Anck.

I have realised though that as much fun as CH is, the attacks are slow in kicking off.

Still!

What did you use as donor DNA by the way?

What did you use as donor DNA by the way?

Hey Stepo.
I used, Rancor DNA. They have the highest DNA (Buffed) in the game, due to their "hardcore" buffs.

Since my BE character has picked another path... *Wink* *Wink*
I decided to share my research data on BE.

I popped another wall of text there too Anck...with a snippet of a spreadsheet I'm working on too - just to tease you with juicy numbers
