Thread: Help a Poor MBH!
the bad thing with pistols is your in attack range of the jedi, so that might be a problem but for you, some good bh's are MP but for me thats alittle to close for comfort.
My temp is BH/Mcarbs/CM4xxx, but since alot of jedi on my server are mdef/ with root, force run, and a few other goodies, i'm having trouble keeping them at bay with only my snare and KD so i've been thinking of changeing CM4xxx to CMxxx4, this will give me a MEZ i can hit em wiht incase they root me, gives me thyroid rupture so slow their attack speed. In my head it sounds pretty good, but haven't tested it yet.
I'm not really a pro and hunting jedi so i've just be doing trial and error tatics, but keep at it you'll get one. i'm in the same boat and i got me one this morneing.
The most important thing to do when you are starting out is to learn to be patient....
1. First up you ARE going to lose to start with unless you are a natural born PVP'er. But as you learn to use your templates strengths and protect yourself from your weaknesses.
2. Secondly learn about your target.
3. Its very very easy to saunter up to your target and get your butt handed to you by a guy who has just left he MO with a full buff and a belly full of foods. 10 minutes later that same guy will be a push over since a lair full of pickets has done half your job for you. You biggest advantage been the hunter is you get to choose when to attack.
4. Alot of Modern bounty hunters seem to think that the practice of ambush and bushwacking is some what dishonorable. Many of these people are post CU bounty hunters who do not remember a time Ranged really sucked and to be a "pure" ranged BH was basically suicide. Here are my top 3 stratagies for dirty attacks...Using all of these will get you a lot of hate tells city bans etc, but they will also get you the drop on your targets.
A. Bomb droid under shuttle term / Mission term. If your target is grinding out a particular location then a mouse bomb droid can be concealed in the base of a mission term and an R3 hides quite well in a ticket term. Simply target it and retreat to the town mall or some other public building. When the group come back for more missions simply walk outside detonate and let rip with your best knockdown stopping shot damage combo....Also works well with rifles and conceal shot etc.

On a serious note, I came here to see what you guys talk about and seeing as how I cannot offer the new jedi any advice in our forums without some loudmouth BH (I understand one person is not representative of all) I figured I'd throw one of those quipes in just for humor.
Thanks for that... 
But back to the OP's questions, I too am starting out with this template on a new toon.
8K+ armour is essential as is the slices. Try and get hold of a double capped weapon, I'd recommend the Featherweight FWG. Also, pick the right foods, bearing in mind the current question marks over Defense.
Or you can get lucky like I did with myfirst kill during my second go around on BH.
A jedi and his buddy were sitting on a hill in Dant. No afk or LD symbol, I got withing 50k and they didn't move.....got closer and his buddy stood up. he didn't move. I nailed him in 5 shots.
He quit 5 days later so I assume he just let me do it. Not very sporting of him but I got my 200K.
thanks for the advice and help, i will take what u al said and learn from it.
Im gunna try out the bomb by the mission tactic. Thats gunna be a blast. Gunna try and dual a couple of friend to get lots of practice.
Im building up Bh armor gear with good armor attachments that i been looting from npc bountys.
