Might as well give a confirm on something.. : Star Wars Galaxies Discussions

Something that is probably common knowledge, but often overlooked...
Beast Master...
(Told you i was bored)
Anyway, had one of my toons make a 55 point pet for my jedi, mostly block and stuff like that to tank for him was the original thought.. like the old days...
It was not untill i was training my then lvl 10 pet by killing rebels on one of the BG POI's that i realised just what the effect of a SINGLE talent point is in Beast Master...
(I was ganked by i think 5 or 6 lvl 85-90 combat guys, supported by a medic, and i did not just live through it.. i WASTED them!!!)

Shortly said:
I lose 25% on all offensive damage (big deal, still do around 6k as LS jedi)
But what is really making a diffrence is that the bigger my rat get's, the more of his "bonus" stats rubb off on me..
Was like considering to do a afk macro on San'sii (kursk for those who dont know) since he was like not hitting me mutch, and when he did it was pathetic.. so i looked at my defence stats... all over 55%, closing on 60%..
Dropped back down to around 28% when i stowed my pet away..
So guys, seriously
1 talent point in Beast Master is SERIOUSLY worth it

Can members say yay or nay to this so we may give tu bucks and/or premium. If you nay the submission remember to include as to why.

Can you buy combat pets or do you have to go full BM to make them and then drop down to 1 point?

You can buy them, doubt it has to be a really good one to se the effects, but im pretty happy with my 55 pointer

I hear Medic/BM is godly. Been thinking about trying that out.

Hid my pet about 100 yards from Restus central, and now ive wasted more people then i care to count...
Even took out "the hand" solo.. took awhile thou due to lowered (25%) damage..

The important stats on the pet seem to be intelligence, and cunning when dealing with how mutch bonus you as a player gain from the "creature bonus"
Made another one with lower score but dumped most into those stats... and even if its defence stats was lower, i seemed to get more of them myself when i had it out..

There probably a whole lot of info on the BM forum, but as i said, its often overlooked by all but the most bored players

And this post was never meant as more then a heads up to my fellows out there

Bump for yays and nays still.

you get about 4-5% on each stat max at BFF on your pet when its 90. Therefore i dont call this a sploit or guide its been well known that defensive pets work well for tank type jedi for a long time. I have had my 60 point near perfect rancor (full def spec) for 7months now
