yeah i am going triple threat (master smuggler, pistoleer, tka) i dont really like the whole unarmed combat stuff but it is hard to pass up its defense and other benefits.

With the CU coming I'm not sure I'd go for TK and Pistoleer unless you want to just hold them both in case they make grinding a lot more difficult.


Personally I've had Artisan for resource sampling and Medic and even Scout at various times.


Not really sure what I'll end up with but I don't think I'll bother with anything but Master Smuggler and Master Pistoleer until CU is in and I see what it's all about.




Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie, Two years of "Soon"(TM), a harsh bunch of lies.
Ask me a riddle and I reply: "Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie"

Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie, Dancers can't smuggle and neither can I.
Ask me a riddle and I reply: "Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie."

Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie, Why are there Jedi, I don't know why.
Ask me a riddle and I reply: "Smuggler, Smuggler, Smuggler Pie."

after the CU i can't see pistoleer being worse. it can only get better in my opinion but you are right, who knows what the CU will bring or even when it will come so for now, i think triple threat gets you the best balance (PVE, PVP, and just enjoying the game) that you can get.

Get a sweet DE-10, when they get past block, they hurt like hell. That, and remember that your range is your friend, stay out of reach of the Jedi

take marks that are less than 150k value and an even value (go for 148k, NOT 149k)


once you have a few of those under your belt, try 200k and less (once again even values, not odd)

Is that 'odd' value because they are mls?

Hi,


I'm a pre pub 9 MBH and i took MP with it as soon as it allowed me.

A big help for you is to start with a good solid Bomb Droid.

I currently have some crated with 56 detonation power, those are R3 units.

They cost you a penny however, so i would advice to first grind some cash and then buy your equipment.

The Bomb Droids i use quite often hit for about 2800 points of damage (random pool).

Also get yourself a good gun, i collected myself 6 DE-10's where 1 is adk'd.

Like the poster under you also adviced, it even scares Knights if you succeed to aply some nasty torsoshots on him/her.


And you'll need food, lots of food. defence food, dodge food, mind food, you name it, everything that gives you an advantage in the situation. I currently have 10 lots filled up (on my second toolbar) with all different types of food, all for different situations. costs some money but preparation is your big friend. Same as patience is your big friend. Take your time on studying your target, examineits habits,its weak points, strong points.. travel routes etc etc. catchhim/her attheir most weakest moment.


My remaining 18 skillpoints are in medic 1-0-0-0, with my +25 injury/wound threadment pants and good Stim B's it's pretty comon for me to heal 800ish.


All this above is posted with an eye on the current MBH/MP template however, i can't give you a penny of advice for the CU MBH

thx guys for all your advice, its really appreciated.


Where can i find these bomb droids? I'm on Chimarea server.


to the guy that said MBH wasn't worth it, at the moment, i realise MBH isn't great for hunting jedi and other templates are far better, but, i bought this game to be a bounty hunter and to master my prof is my goal. I'm more of an occasional player and not a grinder and it;s taken me a long while to 'almost' become double elite master. MBH/MP is where its at for me, now... and in the future.

The bomb droids are made by master droid engineers. Become friends with one or look at the bazaar these days, the search option has realy improved
