Thread: Save The Melee BH...

Excerpt from an old post of mine, thought I had a good idea about making melee BH work:






>Also, having melee skills in BH would be a waste to most people, and would probably cause more people to dabble in other professions i guess... it would make Master BH less desirable, possibly useless.


I am proposing something that would prevent this, like a pre-requisite for BH be ranged support in marksmen OR unarmed in brawler, still require scout, but once in BH either have melee BH and ranged BH professions OR make one BH have specials and mods that work for both. Something like what is currently LLC III gives you torsoshot, which is useful to ranged AND melee. All of them they are moves that could work for melee and where you get ranged speed and accuracy this gives youmelee speed and accuracy mods also. I would go for MBH if this was the case.
>Thinking about it, you can get the Invesigation tree in BH, master 1 melee profession, and have 3 trees in another melee profession. Doesn't sound so bad...


Where as I dont think CL makes that much difference in PvP I am a CL69 with TKM / BH / CM, also putting the BH pre-requisite in brawler or marksmen would free up 29 sp.



>Maybe the devs should make a Brawler tree as a BH pre-requisite instead of the Scout tree... that could work.


I dont mind the scout pre-requisite, I just wish we didnt have to waste sp on the marksmen profession.


>Yea BH is ment to be ranged, in the SW universe...if you chased after a jedi with a pike youd get ur ass cut down so fast you wouldnt know what hit you


There were BH that used both blasters and melee weapons, TKM according to the origins I have read were known for battling jedi, Bossk is seen holding an LVA in the movies. Besides considering the number of jedi out there, we obviously arent holding true to the "Star Wars Ideal" LOL







SHOW SOME LUV FOR DA MELEE's


We're already just a bunch of support professions.

Yeah...it's already bad enough 90%+ of the normals are ranged people...why should they force Bounty Hunters into being ranged too?




Because evryone already had enough of all the melee in the time before CU.

The best part of each profession should be in the Master Box and that is where Jedi missions should have been in the first place. Skill points for Master BH have been cut dramatically from the original set up, Jedi missions should have been moved when that happened.

The CU, Nerf yellers, and 'balance' whiners ruined the diversity of Jedi Templates.......why should the BHers be left out of the allencompassing Nerf Swing.

It's just a shame that these major changes to the BH profession just so happen to come when the correspondant is out of town...


I guess they're content restricting bounty hunters to ranged professions.

I heard they were considering doing this a couple months before the CU came out...anyone know what ever came of those ideas?



Yes, SOE in their infinite wisdom went the easy route again, Just nerf it. I always thought to be a developer you had to have a creative mind. This game is being dumbed down every publish...because it's less work on their end.

Just curious what you meant by that...


If you meant a melee BH is one, you're way off. This is Post CU we're talking about...

The thing is, I suspect they're making this change to limit the amount of diversity of BH templates. Some consider MRifles/MCM/4000 BH to be an FOTM template and it will no longer be possible this next publish. While that may be for the best, it's a shame they're killing the possibility to be a melee bounty hunter. I know I'm in the minority, but it's something I enjoy very much. I'm real disappointed to see that they're doing this...
