Bounty Hunter Archive

I keep reading that the devs do not want to give us creatures with Medium or higher armor, recently that Graul Maulers are almost extinct (have searched high and low on Dath or Dant and still to this day only seen 2 Graul Maulers and 1 Mauler Lair - no babies).

But yet anyone in the Imperial Army can purchase a Heavy Armor, 70 percent resist to all except stun which is 100 percent, 125 CL faction pet with a 1250 pt range attack and hit ratio of 55. And I hear they can call out three of them, but only seen two out at once from one owner at a time so far.

Granted you can not heal them, but then again you just have to accumulate pts and BUY them instead of search all over the place in hopes of a baby to tame. That is if there is not another person around that will attack the baby while you tame it or try and steal it from you before you can get to it. Not to mention that you can use them in conjunction with Creater Handler pets.

So what is the big stink over medium armor if every Imperial and their brother have an AT-ST, or a few stashed in their back pocket?

If someone can bring logical insight to my question I would apprehicate it

This is just another stupid anti-AT-ST ranting.
The reason why pets dont have Medium/Heavy armor is tanking-abuse.

Whoa I'm tired. I meant to see in that first sentence:

Although I don't think we should be able to tame babies with medium armor...

Don't have a **edit** thing against those that grinded away to get their AT-ST(s). Just trying to find the logic in why the devs give such a powerful pet to those that can just grind away at faction and go and buy when the Creature Handler profession only has the chance to get a pet with 'light' armor and CL of 70.

Perhaps faction pets are something complete different scale than CH pets, just trying to gain a bit of insight as to why a pet with heavy armor is okay for one group of people but not anyone else. I am not even asking the Dev's for it just want to know what the big stink is about CH having pets with medium armor.

As for Tanking - Abuse? I have seen AT-ST's tank just as well as other pets, with 11K HAM (last I seen) it does just as fine as any other pet.

Maybe they did it for balance between the factions, since Rebel is the more populated?

I don't post much and really only visit the forums to see if there are any new bugs or advice on BH professionand to see what new features are coming up in the next publish. I've been a BH for awhile and I find it funny to read posts in both the BH forums and the Jedi forums.

Too all the Bounty Hunters who cry because they can't seem to kill there Jedi mark or that there Jedi runs away and hides from them. PLEASE quit the profession and go be a entertainer or crafter. You guys make it extreamly hard for any productive input in these forums because 90% of all the posts are you guys crying like little @itchs. If your to dumb to figure out that there are different ways to kill a mark (such as tweaking your templete to compesate for new stuff)and that sometimes it takes several hours to hunt them down (likecamping outside of there houses waiting for them to come out)then this profession is not for you. You can not expect to be paid 300k for few mins of work. Sure sometimes you get lucky and take out the mark fast, but if the Jedi has any PvP skills or knows he's outmatched and runs away this will not be the case. Just something you have to accept. If you can't then leave the profession.

Be nice if SOE could setup some forums that only vetren BH's could access. That way we wouldnt have to listen to all these ""I've been a BH for 2 days and all the jedi are over powerful and cheat"" posts...
