Thread: So.. are you going to run?
well for those jedi that just pull out the T21 as i open fire...lol
first battle with my last rifle jedi was bout 10 mins...and we gradually got closer lol like within 5 mins till the jedi ran
second battle I had auto attack on for a bit didn't realize it...startle was all messed up...and didn't have pet out =/...and died after only like 5 mins =(
damn rifle jedi with rifles better than mine !!!
Kiting is not running, it's strategic repositioning. I have never, nor will ever, attempted to "get away" to save my own arse once the fight started.
It's the Jedi who are the cowards.
Now go away, Jedi Troll.

Because that defeats the purpose? Yes, we are ranged and yes, jedi are melee. Advantage: jedi. Sounds like you are just looking for the easy win.

Most BH's Ibeat ran from me. *shrug* I didn't bother chasing them as it could have been an ambush.

Spoken as a jedi: Kiting is a sane tactic for any ranged player.
Not all of us are cowards, maybe a bit trollish but not cowards 
Yes range means something. It's our template as yours is melee. Either way someone is not getting equal ground.
But since you are adamant about knowing if I run or not, no, I never run. I'll take my death. As a BH/pistol (year and half now, not a silly respec) I stay close enough as it is. I take my knocks.
You just sound more like you want rifleman off your back so you can stop running.

Wrong. I'm not worried about my well being, because i'm not stepping into a fight i can't win. Answer the question. This isn't about advantages or disadvantages, this is about if you are man enough to face the opponet on equal grounds. (equal meaning they can actually fight back). Pistols were made for close range, carbine, still works rather well at close ranges, as does Rifles. with the lovely invention of accuracy food, the difference between range means absolutely nothing.

Even with food/spice Melee and Ranged are not designed to be equal grounds at close range. At close range Melee should win asshould Range should win from a distance. This was thewhole point of theCU to balance the professions and create diversity within groups.I know a few TKA/Fencer/Swordsman temps that cankill a Jedi toe to toe but since the Melee Hunters are gone I guess you are safe from those temps. The Ranged Hunters are about first strike and attempt to control the battle.

I don't get mad when a jedi dashes off, I'm used to it. I'll just sit and read a book and wait for them to get the nerve to fight, win or lose. Half the time I'll promise a no db just so we can get a fight.
Not that my stalking to get a fight will really matter now. 52k for a mission now..bah...not even worth my time.
