I'm converting one of my characters into a BE just for the sheer fun of it. I never hologrind and won't start now, but I'm unsure how BEs 'work' - can you experienced BEs enlighten me please by sharing an idea of how your templates work?


Currently I have Master Scout and have dropped an elite mastery and the pistols line of Master Marksman to start making points available. Scout looks useful to a BE.

I'm taking some Carbineer so I can defend myself too (I just like Carbines, I know they're not going to be FOTM anytime soon ). I also considered going 0044 medic so I can use decent stims and be useful as a sort of backup Medic for hunting groups.


I only have two boxes of BE so far and am still figuring out what 'we' do *grins* so an insight into how you 'operate' as a BE, and what your full capabilities are, would be very interesting reading.


I hope some of you won't mind sharing.

I am a MBE and a TKM. My strategy is this: I hunt high level creatures and stick them with DNA needles. When they get pissed off from being sampled repeatedly, I beat them down with my VKs and harvest their meat. I guess for the creatures it is damned if they do and damned if they don't...

I am a MBE/MCH/Pistoleer 0,0,3,0 Only required Scout and Medic Lines also. Makes it great for hunting and reasonable for PvE. Not bad a PvP either. Awaiting 4 in Pistoleer to finish my character off. Can make all the money I need from BE, Can run almost any mission I want with very little damage to me. Nice rounded character

Bio Engineer/ Ranger/ Medic - 1/0/4/4


Pretty obviously tailored towards finding/sampling creatures.

Biggie you have the same template as I am working on. I'm MBE, Pistoleer 0040, and CH 3334 working on master. I love CH, I love BE, and I really like using a pistol while my pet tanks.

I love the variety you can get in this game.



3 completely different approaches all working fine.



I hadn't considered BE/CH with pistols - that one caught me by surprise. The TKM/BE is a sensible approach too.


I love Ranger. Some day I may try that one as soon as I can pry my fingers off those guns that they insist on bringing everywhere with me



Thanks guys. Does that cover all options then, or has someone else done it differently?


Anyone have somethingother than the 3 above thatthey've tried and got to work??


( No BE/Chef or BE/Tailor with some other skills thrown in? How about a BE/Doc for uber stims of all kinds? *grins* BE/CM?? *chuckles*)

Master BE, Pikeman and CH....


I sample twice, summon the pet, area KD, and go to work... I tried having a ranged character, but I just love to be in there, up front alongside my pets dealing the damage. It also means I can support my friends in combat.


Before this I was a Polearms 4, Master Artisan, Master BE, and a dabble in CH. But to be honest, though it gave me flexability, the problem with this game is you need to be Master or close in your abilities to make it saleable or useable, so I ended up focusing on 3 I like.


With the upcoming changes ArthurDent spoke about, it seems I can still stick with my tanking profile, keeping my pets close to hand.

I'm a master BE, master rifleman with some scout(harversting) and artisan(surveying). I focus exclusively on the tissue creation side of things so things so I hunt, harvest and craft tissues. Rifleman is great for slaughting all the fuzzy meat bearing critters.

I am MBE, MCH, was MasterMedic, but dropped partly down so I can Master Scout for the Mask Scent on Mutant Rancors. I have no weapon skills at all, wear no armor, and don't use doctor buffs. My way of sampling MR is getting drunk on brandy and sampling til I die. I run with my alt a Master Commando. When approaching the MR, if I am attacked before I get to it, I have my pet tank it while my alt flames it...(they have 100 heat resistance I know, but it works.) If I am attacked while I sample, I die. I am cloned so I don't take wound damage. I just hop back on my speeder and go back out to where my alt is sitting. She keeps the mobs from despawning by being in the area.

As it stands now, I am MCH, MBE, Master Scout, Novice Ranger, Medic 3,2,1,4

Master BE/Master Doctor - great for making high quality pet stims and making money (buffs) when high quality meat on the server just won't spawn.

Just picked up an alt - making him Ranger 0/0/4/0 Master TKA and gonna go up merchant a little (also hoping to fit a *little* medic in there just for the heals) since they'll be nerfing vendors soon and I gotta have one to keep my business going.

Since the pet business died on my server, and I have lots of friends that point out great spots for my harvesters, I changed things around on my char. I am now master BE, master Smuggler, and its a great cash combo!

When I was BE I was BE, Swordsman, 4040 Scout, and a bit of Artisan. The level 4 Exploration plus Jawa Beer and clothing mods was great for Mask Scent, and when it did fail or I had a donor go aggro I'd beat the living snot out of it with my hammer! Fun times .
