Often as a Bounty Hunter another combat profession is good to pick up.

Combat Medic gives you battle armor
Carbineer enables you also battle armor
Rifleman enable you to wear recon
Pistoleer gives you also the recon

not saying raise caps on assault armor ... but give BH certs for recon instead of assault .. or change the resist caps of BH armor only ...

im not a rifleman im a carbineer .. like boba fett before me ... but yet battle armor looks nothing like something a bounty hunter would wear ... and it resists arent made for bounty hunting ...

i just dont see the logic in giving BH armor which isnt made for their proffession

if you want to encourage dabbling .. then encourage it .. dont move player bounties to master BH

Thassk,

You can get assault armor a little past 6000 energy... That may seem like a lot less then 8200 recon *but* I was looking over the percentages and 6000 Vs 8200 isnt as big as one would think. I dont have the numbers in front of me but I think the difference was under 10%

When you consider that a MBH/MCM gets the heals they do, % difference between recon and assault arent that bad.... I hear what you're saying though about BH getting armor that seems more geared towards PvE and PvP melee Vs ranged but I think it balances itself out.

Resist - Percentage

6000= 48%

8000 = 56%

my current battle armor is maxed at 7200 .. four layers ... and ADK'd because of the CA's and AA's i have .. but quite honeslty it is the most ridiculous looking suit of armor for a bounty hunter .. i would have liked to see composite as battle armor instead ...

now im not going to whine i have delt with it for a long time ... im only bringing this updue tothe recent onslaught of jedi calls to nerfs .. and the steath nerf which hit my master CM proffession recently ...

but ... as for the poster who said we are tanks and need the assault i disagree .. i dont think BH should be tanks .. i think carbineers should be tanks .. let them have certs for high kinetic armor .. all i ever wanted out of my BH was to hunt jedi .. or hunt NPC marks .. ... give me the energy resists i need andlet me have my duelist stance .. and i could care less if people use my proffession as a compliment to their ranged tanking in PVE ... i never ASKED to be a ranged tank in PVE .. i just wanted to be a blaster fighter ... good agaisnt other fighters with blasters ...

im not angry at the game or the devs .. im no where NEAR giving up the game .. i just think as a community we have to voice our opinions .. and i would really like to see the BH proffession become what it meant to be .. a PVP only proffession ...sure nerf the hell out of me when it comes to PVE mobs and aggro'd creatures ...

but make me the viable PVP .. jedi/smuggler .. NPC hunting .. player killer .. blaster duelist i was meant to be .. the one George lucas put into his movies ....

and p.s. let us not forget that the jedi used to deal kinetic not energy damage .. perhaps the decision to make BH certified for high kinetic reists was a decision put onto a drawing board long ago .. thosepeople possiblyforgetting any plans or not paying mind to plans which would make jedi the energy damage dealers they are today ...maybe the devs didnt intend for us to be so low in energy resists but have been swamped with so many changes it slipped through the system?

i think that bounty hunter armor should be just that .. armor for bounty hunting .. i think it should posses the highest energy resist caps in the game .. at least 8300 ... its a shame that we are a proffession where our content ( jedi AND NPC ) use energy based weapons yet we have NO certification for armor that concentrates on energy protection .. please change BH armor to have those high energy resist caps we need ...

with the recent change of player bounties ( i think it was publish 20 or 21) to the master BH box it truely limtis our ability to dabble in turn limiting our ability to gain recon armor certs ...

so i think the need for high energy resist BH armor comes into play and would be a GREAT and loved addition to the bounty hunter proffession ....

bounty hunting in its essense is about hunting BEINGS .. and beings use blasters ... i dont think you can take a bounty out on a dewback or a womp rat ... so kinetic should be forgotten and BH armor should be all about energy

I believe we have high kinetic due to the fact we are considered an Advanced Tank profession.

If you want to suddenly change our "role" and change our armor certs, that means we might lose defensive mods as well. You 250 total skill points, you can easily pick another profession that has armor to your liking. Yes it is ashame that BH armor is infact the weakest armor for us to use when we go hunt marks but the bigger picture is we are considered the ranged Tank therefore it makes sense for us to have better kinetic than energy.

I really dont get the idea of Ranged Tank with kinetic resistsat all surely the two contradict each other Most Kinetic damage is going to come from animals, or NPC, at point blank range. Not manyMOBS attack with kinetic at range. so the whole idea of a kinetic ranged tank really doesnt work. Energy Ranged Tank I can udnerstand for tanking NPC,s with ranged attacks (most ranged attacks) or else Melee Kinetic Attack for taking on most animal spawns, But Kinetic Ranged Tank, is a pretty weird specialisation. What exactly are we supposed to be tanking against? someone tell me and I will put my bh armour to use as our template is intended.

Cool so lets look at the math. lets assume a non pre-cu saber that is 500-700 dmg with 150 elem.

They are going to be close on accuracy / defense so lets thisbe even.. so they will hit at 1/2 min and max 600 base damage.

imp saber head hit is 1.8x so 600 x 1.8 = 1080 energy dmg (if elem is now working at 1.8 x 150 =270 elem.)

A pretty basic saber will hit for 1080 x.7(.7 for pvp reduction) 756 energy and 270 elem. (no pvp reduction on elem.)

8000 = 56% so 756 - 56% =332 energy 270 - 48% (most special is 60 of below) 270 -48% =140 elem. so472 after armor.

ehm... not really on topic...but in that sceeny of the combat lof I actually saw a lot morei nfo than in mine....how can you edit what's viewable in the combatlog? mine doesn't even mention the specials used

to the guys posting the pic: that damaged is NOTHING compared to pre-curb...I'm also wondering if you have your armour sliced against armour break, and please also don't forget the jedi got a 20-25% bonus when you're KD
