Tactics... What esle?


After taking an assignment on a Jedi, I tracked him to Endor. Yeh! Endor, no house, city, or cantina. Just me, him, and whoever he is grouped with. A quick recon would conferm the presence or lack of a group. As I approch the mark, I find him meditating under a tree. My lucky day. His mind buff has also droped. I rush in and start spamming eye shot. Four shots later, he's down. I move in for the kill.... FD.


Got a little over zelous. Saw my mark meditating without mind buffs and out the windowwent mytactics. My mistake.


The next dayI find his mission on the terms again. This time I'll use the proper tactics. Send up my droid and it's back to Endor. This time I find my mark gainking critters. Pull out a carbine with Health Dot and let loose with KD/Dizzy. Swith to DE-10 and Torso shot, Torso shot, Torso shot, Incap. Run in, get the DB and paycheck. Back to the swoop and off I go.


Lesson: Always use surprize and tactics. If they are on their back, they can't FD. If they stand up, the next time you hit them... FD.


Suggestion: GET THE KD then add dizzy.Followed withas much damage as possible before they recover.


Does not work every time, but it does work.


As for the FD Jedi? His tell was not sent for approximatley 10min. The only thing he had to say was, "Nice clean kill, good job"

You can use /healselfother that a master healer jedi has to remove FD. We have those in our guild, I will have to show you guys sometime.

Those can be hard to find, even harder to find if they're willing to join you for such a low level mark

I do wish there was other ways to remove fd, but currently that is the only way. I normally don't take missions less than 100k so I run into FD less, but I know of 3 master healers that I can call on to help with this if needed. IMHO FD should not be the get out of jail free card, and I am usually motivated more to get those that pull such things than the guy that stands his ground and fights me.



One thing I have noticed as my short time of doing Jedi missions,is that the guys thatgo in gank squads or the guys that used to be BH and they know all the tricks that where used on them to try to avoid getting the mission completed cry the mostafter the fight. I have met alot of honorableJedithatdon't say a word, or evenwant to discussthe fight in a friendly manner, but the guys thattry every trick in the world are the first to send hate tells and even come to the forums to make postscomplaining about having the mission collected on them.

Well when I first unlocked my jedi, you couldn't have normal professional skills. So, I don't know much about the use of FD personally.


However, since they still have enough points tied up in old professions, I suppose its an ok idea to use FD. Eventually the young Padawan will have to grow up and learn to fight or run.


Those that whine about their losses, should just shut up. I have killed jedi, BH, and all sorts of goobers in this game. MOST have been honorable clean fights. Some are just plain jerkwads. I once obliterated this Bounty Hunter so fast I was shocked at how quick he went down. Of course I DB'd him and went about my buisness. I got a tell calling me an exploiter, cheater, Im gonna tell a CSR on you. Sheesh kid, next time you hunt a jedi, come buffed, sabers hurt, alot.


I think both BH and Jedi should use every tactic they can to survive (with the exception of exploits). It's that simple. This is the dog eat dog aspect of SWG. There are many that complain about how the Jedi shouldn't be in the game, how it isn't cannon. I feel there is nothing that describes star wars more than the private little war between bounty hunters and the jedi. It's a great realationship really. Some of the best players meet up in a BH/Jedi battle.


My hat off to all of you noble BH and Jedi. Those that whine, delete your toon now and try Image Designer. Simple, harmless and you can't get hurt. Good luck to you.

Sure check the combat log only I attacked him and not to mention I waited till I had a chance to actually pull it off. I waited for an effective distraction first ie cm poisioning the DJK in the area. Yes we did bring a bunch of guys because well you all had a bunch of guys as the saying goes don't bring a knife to a gun fight unfortunatly you had a couple of tanks hehe. Anyone on the server knows if your going into Tal Valor for a fight you better bring back up and I mean a lot. That is out of respect for you all that live there not a flame. It's a nice tight group there /salute.


Next as far as being a tkm/bh I use this template because it gives me a chance against 200k plus jedi Mapai can confirm I have infacted solo those. Just to clear that up. I take missions for those with feign death as I look at is a challenge. It is actually harder to take down a feign death person than a 160k range jedi. I also do not flame Mapai once again proably can confirm it. Also to bring a jedi with master healer doesn't have a clean feeling in my book but that is an opinion not a flame.


I have mastered Bounty Hunter before the mission bugs were fixed and have been a bounty hunter since i've been in the game. I change my template from time to time to keep oponets from getting complacent.


Oh almost forgot. Why does the bh get flamed for bringing a hit squad when they do but a jedi is aloud to bring his own large group to counter attack even if the bh issolo in the combat log. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black doesn't it. I personally think it is the herd protecting the calf and is a sound tatic just find it a humerous concept.


Mapai come on man I thought we were tight lol. /salute you have great bunch of people in syn and I enjoy every encounter with them it is always postive and a lot of fun. Espically Celgorn although the love a kaadu is a hard thing to understand.

Well Zeig I don't want to debate you here, but I will say this. If you had showed up solo and my guild's jedi was buffed (he was). I would not have joined in and you would have gotten your 1 on 1 fight, however I will show up to any call when I hear a squad is coming for one non knight level Jedi. (probablyeven knight level ones too)


I too know what it is like to show up for your mark and get jumped by 15 friends (happened to me this week, shrug, I just came back with 20 friends, really wanted my 1 on 1 though) , I belive that if a BH wants his 1 on 1 he should get it. (however I also realize 1 on 1 against a Knight is not a fair fight either, as I showed your friends dueling them )


I am trying to convince my guildees that FD is the wrong way to go (most of our guys don't have it) , and personally I would rather see a friend take the death and get off the terms and perhaps be better equipped to fight the next BH encounter. ( and yes I do use Jedi /healstateother if I can find one on that can come out and help with that) But I know some guys will take FD anyways, and it is part of the game, hopefully how it works will change in the CU, I know I will be pushing for it when it comes up.

I have dealt with Jedi that FD on me, and I am very persistant on those when I fail to kill the Jedi after they FD.

It turns out that the more the Jedi FDs, the bigger the penalty they pay for later, it's like the Chicago Bears using the same offensive play in every football game then it gets old and stops working when the other guys figure it out.

There is one particular Jedi that claims as "Feign Death expert", not such an expert when they met me, and after I killed that mark I got b!tched at in tells being called names left and right (yes I /reported) and I replied "stay off the terminals now".
