Thread: BH/melee hybrids coming back again?
Which is prbly why they'll never make a melee counterpart. It'd be too powerful

But the swordsman profession alone is strong, it would be amazing if BH had a melee counterpart, but that is never going to happen.

It's funny because Jedi complain about MSwords/Mdocs quite often saying that they are more powerful than actual Jedi. Myself I know that's not true, mainly because of the complete lack of ranged attacks on the part of the swordsman (all jedi have saber throw). So why Jedi don't just use their range is beyond me. Basically they could fight the melee attacker like they are pistoleers but with much more damage and better defenses.
I take it you have not fought a swordsman/doctor before, their healing is extremely hard to overcome especially if they pick up improved center of being, it takes a decent pre CURB lightsaber like mine and master force wielder to dominate swordsman/doctors. I know first hand because my main is one and most Jedi cannot beat me in a duel.

We do?
I must be missing this from my skills window as I don't see it.
I also thought that Saber throw was in the Techniques Branch of LS did they change that?
I guess I must have been mistaken as I don't have that Branch of LS but we all have saber throw so I must be bugged.
I know what your trying to say in your post but please don't make such a general assumption.

I have yet to encounter a finished template Jedi without some form of saber throw. Yes I know its a specific skill and you do not have to take that skill box butI think eventually all of them do.

I've beaten these templates myself as a MBH Mpistoleer. Intimidate,roots and knockdowns. They do not have enough opportunities to hit me. Plus Battle armor isn't that good and I certainly hit them more often than I hit most Jedi and for more damage.
Yes it would take some imagination for a Jedi to beat and often Jedi are not so good at adapting their fighting style.I also know that not all Jedi take MLS and the popular defender trees. But stuff like stasis would be a huge advantage as well.
Same thing I posted on the Swordsman forums, I do consider myself to be a better than average pvper though so that could have alot to do with it as well:
I have a MBH/Swords and I am 14 - 3 with him against Full templated Jedi.
You can pick up 0210 medic and with aitha, +25 heal eff tapes and some bacta toss enhaners you can heal really well.
I average around 1050 - 1100 with bacta toss and around 900 with bacta shot. Add this with Ruby made with filling nuts and 1200 stims you are a machine.
If they do root you, pull out your ALR drink some acc drink and go to town on them with that. Most likely they are AB'd and when you hit Adv Crit with your capped ALR it freaking hurts
