#1 -----> issue for me is no enhancement to the profession. There are no aprons, CAs or AAs or anything else to increase our expirmentation or ourDNA harvesting or anything else.
#2 ------->issue very close maybe is #1 just deopends how good or bad of a day I'm having..... extreme amount of meat needed for tissues. My suggesstion would be to lower the amount need for the tissues (especially chef tissues) or make the flora resource slots weighted heavier than the meat allowing us to be able to use a little lesser quality meat if we hvae higher flora enabling us to have a lrager resource market ot create our tissues.
#3 -------> the whole Cl10 pet question examined, fixed, explained or whatever. Just so this issue goes away.
#4 -------> More skins and variety to pet crafting (less productive peice of our profession because of lakc of CHs in game now, but the most fun)
#5 -------> More tailor tissue variety maybe some other vs like vs postire change or KD tissues.
Now here is an ultimate for me, allow BE tissues ot be used in armor.
Ok there it is.

A little patience, jeez. What kind of explanation were you expecting? "I can't stand the CH profession?"

Tiggs,
One question, why didn't you post this in the CH forum.
You posted in every forum but CH? Why?
Because I am on "B"'s

Hey, I notice a post below the C's folks, just wondered how we got skipped over.
And she did poke her head in for a second.
And when the Devs purposely break a profession down to next to useless for over a year and you still stick with it....
And we aren't persecuted now. We are just ignored.
And guess what, CH's should be BE's biggest clients instead of their last.
And if they don't balance everyone there will be less CH's in the game and that means less for BE's to do.
And I am a BE too.

Agraco,
I have been patient for 8 months 21 days 10 hours, but whos counting.
Just so you all realize we actually were pre-nerfed August last year, major nerfed Dec. 03 and we still have not had one satisfactory answer or any real reason given as to the nerfing. We were also promised that the Combat Revamp would happen before Jedi, before JTL, it was in the projected things to do list. ANd guess what nothing.. So when I make my master CH a really nice pet, it is still dog poo next to what it should be able to do.
Patience, reality is it's 12 months 21 days 10 hours since our first nerf.
Any fix that the Devs have ever done for CH has been because things like vehicles stored, our pets still autostore. Calling pets in the wild we used to be able to do instantly, then they took it away from us, then they said in camps, cities or public residences. Then the rest of the community whined about not being able to call vehicles in the wild, so they made it so everyone could, so now we get a 15 second timer on our pets. Patience, yeah we been patient, we have even been constructive. In the last 9 months TH has only come to CH forum to insult us, poke pet masters, cowardly pets, and so forth.
We have wonderful ideas, but not one comment from anyone higher up the chain. You know when you have communication it is a two way street, I talk, they listen, then they talk and I listen. When all you have is one person talking it isn't communication it's a diagnosis that gets you sent to the funny farm. CH's and many other broken professions have been talking, it appears, only to themselves. I have now been waiting 3 weeks for the supposed appearance of the dribble of combat docs. No sign of those either, you really begin to wonder what is going on or if anything is really going on.
I am tired, I am frustrated and I would like some straight answers rather than the placating political correct non comunication we get so often. Oh and btw I played the Sims Online, I hope the communication is as good here as there or better cause near the end it was pretty sad, almost to the non level of communication we have had in the last 6 months.

Thank you to all the Brawler's that have responded with feedback. This information has been documented!
Have a great day!

I would like to see some improvements to Berserk. The flat 70 damage increase isn't much help throughout the career of a brawler though a percentage increase would make it more worth the cost in defense and HAM. Otherwise using the skill is suicide, not the life saver it used to be.

Well I guess I'll throw my opinions over here as well.
1. I'd like to see the Master box in BH be worth the trouble to get to it.
2. Player bounties are a must, and would contribute to more BH'sbeing active. It will also lessen our deficency in the pve arena if we are always able to engage our profession in the world.
3. Maybe some new weapons for bounty hunters, or give us a rifle mod at master or something. We have to have rifles from marksman but have no mods to use them in our profession so they are just about useless.
4.The lightning cannon could be made more useful in pvp. I find it good in pve but that's about it.
5.We have lots of shots for different weapon types but our delay keeps us from effectively utilizing them. We need effeciency, maybe we could see the investigation column give us this, and add a mod at master for help.
6. Our lack of defense needs to be backed up with offensive output. It's already been expressed that our hams for carbines/llc are extremely high, and that some of our shots are messed up. If we could get these fixed, maybe add some multipliers to the shots.
7. This topic I'm a bit passionate about because I'd like to see BH be a stand alone profession. It seems to me that BH to be effective in the world are too dependant on outside combat professions for help. Riflemen don't need pistols to be more accurate or get better shots. Pistoleers dont need carbineers for the same reason...etc. Why should BH be dependant on these professions to make it viable in combat? I can understand the idea of specializing but being dependant on them is a different matter. This isprobably the most important and also the above points would all really contribute to making this one a reality.
Thanks for listening.

HEY TIGGS!
We know you're reading the forums. How about responding to your playerbase, i.e. WHERE IS PHASE 2?
Yes, I'm going to run through the dev tracker and post about this.

Important to me:
I am a MBH b/c I love the BH profession from the movies. In SWG I also love to hunt and kill jedi.
However, as a MBH, I am severely limited in my abilitiy to combat jedi. A relatively low level jedi who has mastered the Lightsaber branches will block 85% of all my incoming ranged attacks. I must always rely on a melee profession in order to have even a remote chance at successfully completing my mission.
BH's also have no defenses to speak of (state defenses, range and melee defense). We have very low offensive output as well. The only 2 specials worth anything in the entire BH profession is /sprayshot and /eyeshot. The weapon-switch delay has also severely hindered us in Combat. The BH profession has 3 different trees for 3 different weapons. The profession was made to be versatile. The weapon-switch delay has eliminated any versatility we once had....further weakening the profession.
The one thing that is done well in the BH profession is the amount of speed modifiers. I love how BH's are fast with their weapons, and must dabble in other profs for higher accuracy. Works well.
Although not a fan of jedi in this game and how it has been implemented, I would like to see some parity between a ranged MBH vs Jedi.
An Elite-Elite profession off of MBH would also be a very nice addition. Thank you.

I know very well about maintaining a great deal of patience. I, myself, have played this game since 7/2003. I have also been a CH at one point. Nevertheless, it's important you look at the big picture rather specific professions. In my own personal opinion, the SWG team should had created an additionalstaff with the exclusive purpose of fixing bugs and ensuring specials/gameplay worked as intended. There are countless issues that need to be addressed.
If I am corrected and there actually are different types of devs, they're apparently short-staffed or very underpaid. Either way, SWG should consider revamping themselves if their goal is to satisfy to customers who care about new content as well old veterans tenaciously pleading for bug fixes and a more functional game.
I should also add that if anything I feel sorry for TH and now Tiggs, they're the frontline. I know how frustrating it is not having the ability to directly correct issues yourself. All I hope is that they never take anything personally and continue to do their best addressing our concerns. Thank you.

Or at least post.
If they would at least post well then you would have actual communication, that would be nice, dang that would be darn near miraculous.

Yes, thanks to you for going through the exercise of consulting the community. Reading through all these posts, I wouldn't add anything other than a hope that the changes are actually addressed. Without trying to be too optimistic, it seems that the wishlist of the group could be handily summed up in a few bullets and -- if we're really, really, really lucky -- addressed. I don't mean to oversimplify the complexity of the fixes, but they do seem doable. And even doing some of them would be a very nice improvement to the profession.
BE has such a coolness cachet to it for those who are looking for a crafting role that falls outside the traditional combat crafter: It would be a nice gift to the community as a whole to fix it.
Here's hoping you do!
Oh and welcome.

I'd like to see Novice Brawler to have at least one more special per proffbeside lunge1, because lunge doesn't give any xp increase to get to hit 1. It took me an hour to get to 0010 brawler on the same creature.
