Thread: MBE + Combat Template Help.
Message Edited by ther34p on 09-09-2005 08:48 AM
Well I've tried a few things with my MBE.. Ranger/CH/Smuggler..... I'm going back to Ranger.. CH was nice to add - before these new changes - I found it kinda hard to grind my pets without really having any attacking ability myself.. Smuggler - oof - Smuggler was bad you can only add Exploration II for Mask Scent (very much needed for doing DNA)However with only Exploration II - Mask breaksabout as fastas you can put it on - not a very good thing when trying to get samples from agroes.. Master Ranger puts you at a combat level of 61 with 18 pts that can still be used. Other combat professions put you at 56..
Just remember what ever you do add - the exploration line is important.. Other then that it really depends on your play style. Good Luck
I may try the Master Ranger template as itwill help me locate the animals I want to sample, plus i'll be getting the two professions I loved back (CH and Ranger) over the 2 accounts.. Higher CL is also helpful for keeping the agro down.
Thanks for your help guys.
I wonder how ranger will be now.
If they lower the skillpoint cost, I may be able to use my respec to go from MBE/MCH to MBE/MR. Does anyone know if it will be possible to sample while "cloaked"?

I am a MBE with some Jedi skills, which includes cloak. I just tried to sample under cloak and it is denied. I also noticed you cannot mask scent while cloaked, so all 'false' agro is still pulled to you, which drains force quickly. With Ranger it may well work differently.

Yep, my sole intention of grinding this Jedi is to be a CL80 MBE. I know that as soon as I have done it though, they will probably decide MBE is a combat prof and give it a CL rating anyway.
My template when complete (in the year 2020 probably) will be
24 points into FS
121 SP into MBE
9SP into scout 3xxx (I seriously wish they would change the BE requirment to the 4xxx line from xx4x , makes much more sense).
104 SP into Jedi , possibly powers 44xx and enhancer 4xx4 , with nov defender for the +10 innate armor.
I would then be able to sample anything up to lvl 69 without initial agro (grey con) and deal out some serious damage, or even snare if I needed to.
