i would LOVE to see this happen. it could add +500 to defense like aura does. this would make us great tanks and would allow us to compete with defender 0040's. it would only be at master bounty hunter so no you would have to spend a good ammount of skill points to get it. what do you think?

I agree. If the Devs are going to make Bounty Hunters fight full template knights, we should at least geta few abilities that are on-par with theirs...Plus, if we do get some abilities equal to those of Jedi, BH will be more appealing. More BH = Less Jedi and More Jedi Kills.

Ithink that is a totally doable and much needed upgrade. I think maybe a new armor class that only MBHs can wear would be great, as well as a MBH only weapon.
I really do have faith that the Devs are going to come thru for us with something to make us more competitive as MBH's. I know they will do the right thing.

at mbh we get the heavy lightning rifle, and if you want better armor pick up rifleman for recon armor. we dont need a new armor class.

yeah, forgot about those so we really dont need any new equipment, just an advanced duelist stance.

hold on before we Discount that No new armor. What a great way to let us get the Bh armor in a quest that gives us a Nice bonus. Maybe code it to have a nice little Bump to what we need to Go after the knights. Course lets make it A quest worthy of us getting it. Win Win if it was like this i feel.

I'm not against them making us stronger, but any added abilities we were to get should be focused against Jedi only.

MBH should not be overpowered against normal professions, but we should be the "anti-Jedi," so to speak. We should be like their achilles heel.

What we need are GENERAL armor certs and mitigation in the BH tree. We're supposed to be tanks in PvE... no worries, we have the Assault armor certs... but we go up against Energy saber damage in PvP (the reason most of us are BH's in the first place) but don't get certs for energy armor.
I'm an MBH/MC/CM3000 - no recon mitigation, even if I grabbed Novice Rifles.

I disagree. We do not need a +500 duelist stance. Something like that would put us on the same power level as a defender Jedi -- which makes no sense. Jedi are supposed to be innately more powerful than everyone else. In a straight up duel with all conditions being equal (buffs, ham/force, etc.), where neither combatant makes a mistake, the Jedi should always win ... always.
It's true that Publish 20 is forcing BH's to go toe-to-toe with full template Jedi, but if you want to beat one it takes a lot of luck and a lot of dirty fighting. Hit him when he's done tanking a DJM. Hit him when he's got 10 feral wookiees on him. Pray that he misses a heal, ... and that the Lag Gods don't make YOU miss a heal. But don't think that you're supposed to have a fair chance when he's fully rested in "duel" mode standing outside of Theed Starport with 10 different types of doctor buffs waiting for a fight.
I don't understand why a lot of bounty hunters are so hesitant to try to kill a full template knight. If you lose against one -- so what. You lose squat. Are these bounty hunters' egos so delicate that they cannot stomach the thought of losing to a Jedi who has a template and weapon far superior in every way? ... even when you lose absolutely nothing for failure. I go balls out against any Jedi, even the ones who have 10 different doctor buffs looking for a fight when I've got nothing but pixie to go on, ... even when I know I've got a snowball's chance to defeat him. Why? Because it's a game and it's fun to dance the dance. It's fun to read combat logs to see how great of a sabre he has ... or what his weaknesses are for when I do get to fight him dirty in the future.
Losing to a superior armed opponent just makes winning against one all the more sweet.

What the devs need to do is make it so that this skill is only effective against Jedi. That stops MBH from being all powerful over the rest of the regular profs.

yeah, we carry ranged weapons to tank 
theres a reason we have a longer range than melee, we have roots and snared so that we don't have to tank like a melee prof BH does need some sort of root or snare tho.
