If im going to be a master pistoleer, master BH, then 4000 combat medic, (correct me if this would be a bad template) what would be the best choice of armor taking into account all factors, even looks. Also are the cybernetic arms worth getting? what about the legs? i dont even know what those do. Thanks

I'm not a vet, so don't take my word as the gospel, but I would think that you'd want assault armour. If you're a CM, and you plan on healing others, you're gonna draw lots of aggro. So assault armour, which is built for tanking, would be a good choice.


As for which assault armour looks good, I like chitin and composite, personally.


Hope this helps...

In a word, MBH 4000 CM, -----insert range prof, is a very viable template at the moment. Now as far your choice in ranged combat, ask yourself which role do i like to play and go from there. I like you went MP way back when the removed the scout requirement and have been one ever since. However after the CU to me weapons have lost a little of their identity since all specials can be used with the any weapon, assuming our certed for it. So play around, find the weapon that you enjoy, and HAVE FUN. For what its worth, im rerolling Arxy ATM to M. Rifles, need a change to be honest, and i have a ton of pre CU ADV rifles, that converted very nicely and i simply want to try something different.

Good Hunting

Recon armor for hunting Jedi and Assault for hunting creatures... Battle armor would have too much encumbrance for you to use effectively.


Cybernetic arms are somewhat effective, against mobs yes, against Jedi yes and no (nice when they try to run but not nice if ur far away and they burst run out before you notice).


Looks are a personal matter, personally i love mabari armor and padded armor, so I cant add anything there.... you have a lot of choices now... use them.





Bring back the CU or at least Pre-CU... its better that this MMO Third Person Shooter bullcrap

I was the template MBH/MP/CM 4xxx and it was ok untill you reach the 200-226k jedi and even some lower jedi that can pvp well. The problem with BH in a whole is that onebranch is wasted on droids while other prof get things like general ranged speed,general melle defence, rifle speed,pistol speed etc etc. With jedi beening untrackable on kash, that wholebranch is useless and its a slap on the face to BH's. Now that you need MBH to hunt jedi, dabbling so you dont have to waste all your SP on thatbranch is gone.


I found that MBH/MP/CM 4xxx was good if you could kill your ememy in 10 seconds. I got a very good HC pistol, maxed the SAC, sliced for damage, then pup'ed for speed. My DPS was 860 are something but i dont look at DPS at all. That high speed and damage used with a macro that allows you to hit every second is very powerful. This can drain your whole action in about 10 secs but so thats why you need to kill the ememy in that time, otherwise your sunk. I used chitin amour for PVE and against melle PVP, andubess(sp) for jedi hunting.


Macro i used was /quickdraw; /bodyshot; /pause 1; /macro damage.


I then changed to MBH/MP/Rifle 4xxx for some added accuarcy and sniper shot. This again was good against low jedi but useless against the other's due to no healing skills. I used chitin and ubess with this template aswell.


Atm, im trying out MBH/MCM/Rifle 4xxx because im want there fight controling skills and RIS amour. For a good RIS set, you want one with 6444ish in both kinetic& energy in each part except hands/boots.A good RIS set will cost you upto maybe 15 million, depends on server, but with RIS amour you only need to buy AA/CA for one set of amour instead of two, and if the jedi whipes out a kinetic rifle/pistol/carbine your RIS will protect you while ubess wont. Use a Heavy lightening rifle with this template and get SAC as low as possible and then imo, slice for speed, and add aSACpup which will take the SAC to 62. If you had accuarcy added onto the rifle, you wont lose much accuarcy.


I have finished MBH/MCM/Rifle 4xxx yet so cant comment on how good it is againstjedi.

a PuP is a term for a Power-up. There are numerous types of weapon powerups. Ones that increase damage but slightly lower your attack speed, lower the action cost on your weapon, etc etc. They aren't too expensive and worth picking up.


And in response to your original question, if you plan on hunting Jedi -- you'll want Recon armor. Recon armor grants a higher protection against Energy ( Lightsabers do energy damage ) but does a sligthly lower protection against Kinetic damage.


On my BH toon I have numerous sets of armor though. But mostly for hunting Jedi I use a nice suit of Rebel Recon armor, and sometimes my suit of RIS armor custom made to add more resistance to Energy. Don't count on the RIS for a while though if you dont have the credits, I'm not sure about the other servers but on Corbantis a very nice suit of RIS can cost quite a bit.


If you're wanting to use ranged arms then I'd suggest Tantel armor or Rebel Recon armor (if you're rebel) You can sacrific the biceps, gloves, and bracers for the cybernetic arms. Being a Pistoleer though, I'm not sure how much it will help. Who knows though, Pistoleer isn't the greatest range so that extra 15m between you and a Jedi can be a nice help.

Recon armor is the best armor for killing Jedi.


As far as looks goes....I've always been partial to Scouttrooper armor to begin with.

Ive already picked up a set of recon armor, however i think its just the neutral kind since it dosent have markings for either reb or imp. My current set is the kind leya wore when she enters jabas palace with the thermal detanator, the head pice at least. so there is a rebel set i can get as well? does it look better? any advantages or disadavantages to it? Is it player made or must be bought with faction? Sry for all the questions


Thanks again
