Bounty Hunter Archive

I have a character that is going to be a master swordsman and a master pistoleer. I am also going to go novice medic. thats 199 skill points so far. Im trying to decide what to dump the other 51 points in. I am debating three possibilities. 1. TKA 4111. 2. medic 4434. 3. would be scout 4040 and medic 2100. Which would you think would be the most beneficial if any. If you think something else would be better please give me some ideas. I just wanted to say that I only plan to do PVE with this char no PVP.

Actually I think I shorted myself 14 points in the TKA tree. I could go TKA 4412. Or would some other TKA format be better.

You might consider adding Master Brawler to the template, that will give you 2H accuracy/speed/toughness/CoB +5, CoB duration +10, Melee/Ranged Defence +5,Intimidate 2, and the very priced 2H Lunge 2 (20 meter ranged Knockdown).

This is a new avatar, not a newbie player, this avatar was created for the express purpose of becoming a BH. My proposed template is as follows:

Master BH
Brawler 4-0-0-0 (prereq for smuggler and commando)
Commando 0-0-0-0 (launcher pistol)
Pistoleer 0-0-4-0 (republic blaster and dx2, fan shot)
Snuggler 0-0-1-0 (feign death)
Medic 0-0-0-0 (self healing)

good or bad? comments?

mgiht want to ditch the commando unless your heavy into raiding bases, as the points might be better spent getting lowblow.

Hehe, I'm in almost exactly the same spot. Got a Swordsman character on one server, always wanted to try BH but can't because of RP consequences, so created a new char on a new server. I'm looking for a good template too. Working on the 34k combat EXP I have left to BH, and thinking about a template.

My initial thoughts were to go toward the defense side. Taking either Fencer or TK along with BH. But, being a swordsman/tk defense for the past 6 months I don't know much about the ranged side. I know BH are supposed to be all offense no defense, but with recent "patches" - i.e. nerfs - BH's are low offense low defense. Thought bringing up the defense as well as adding another layer of offense would be effective.

I want to mainly be PvE, but also be viable for hunting Jedi if I play my cards right. So, something like high TK/MBH? Or if we are going the super damage rout high commando/MBH? Or Pistoleer/carbineer MBH combos? What about Rifleman? Should be able to just about master Rifleman as a MBH too.

Thoughts?

Thwacks?

Bunnies?

This template uses exactly all skill points....I looked seriously at master BH/master commando and it comes up 14 skill points short. The rason for the wide range of different skills is a concentration on PvE and jedi killing. PvP isn't My bag at all. I just hate jedis, having done 2 master professions that have been ignored due to SOE building goodies for Jedi.

DEATH TO THE GOODIE HOGGING JEDI!!!!!!

I've never found low blow to be a great help in PvE, would it be that useful in BH as opposed to a good blast weapon?

Jedi can heal all pools just as easilly as they can heal one, so mind shots aren't any better than any other pool specific shot. So I figure what you want is pure damage output. Master Carbines and at least 4/4/0/0 will do that, then add in some fencer or TK for defenses. The speed bonus from Carbine and the BH carbines line will make the speed on your gun just about meaningless, and your accuracy will be almost 200 (180 I think, and if you master BH it would be 200) to cut through the Jedi defenses, and the damage is much much higher on carbines than pistols. I think I am personally gonna go MBH/Mcarbines with a little fencer, because my whole point is to master BH, hehe.

I believe you can be a Master Bounty Hunter and Master Commando now.....with the requirement changes, unless I am adding it up wrong. I am making a MBH and MC on Bria, and have marksman 3.3.3.3 Scout 4.0.0.0 Unarmed 4.0.0.0 and have added it up several times, and I do believe it is possible, unless I am just being an idiot.

Tweeky, Bria
And yet another new toon, cause I can't bring myself to untrain when I master something.

Nope, can't be MBH/MC, short by 11 points.

Even if you could, while that would be a killer PvE combo, it is next to worthless for hunting Jedi as I see it. Unless it is a pretty low level Jedi your attacks won't land much, and usually the low level Jedi are smart enough to have TKM or some such while they train up Jedi. So I'm not sure Commando would be a good pairing with BH, since the only common skill is the pistol, and Commando doesn't enhance that any or much at all I don't think.

I could be way off base though, having never actually been a Commando before, and not quite a BH yet. *shrugs*

But you could do 4/4/4/0 commando with MBH, or 3/3/3/2 or any combination there. Just not both at master.
