Bounty Hunter Archive

intimidate and warning shot? intimidate used to break the root shot. not sure if it still does.

"Pistols is better than rifles, every rifleman I see runs out of action every time I see them fight, when every pistoleer with an SAC PUP never has his action go down."

Listen to this guy, a 82 SAC capped rifle can only get down to 60 SAC or so, a 65 SAC capped pistol can go to 40 SAC, and you can spam high damage attacks every 1 or 2 seconds without your action moving with a pistol, which will force the Jedi to get defensive and keep healing.

Diana-Bol, trust me you will get hit a little harder as a rifleman unless you manage to stay outside range at ALL times.

R9D14, nothing breaks stopping shot, and warningshot is a great skill.

In "high end" / "speed capped" PvP DPS dosnt mean anything, i could recommend anyone to rather use a High Power Barrel if your Mod Speed keeps to 1.5 and below! Its tested and high DPS will not effect anything at this point.. Its better with a Scatter with over 1k Max Damage (with a power up) then one with over 1k in DPS and is still 948 Max Damage!

If your not looking for what every other BH has[ MCM or MRM ]and youif you know Jedi temps and you are good at pvp you will do just fine! I have MP/MBH 0004 CM and do very well. Master powers and or MasterDefenders are what you will best at but no BH will ever touch a Master Enhancer anyway unless they ride the short bus to school most have MLS still but if you get a non MLS you will have a very chance of getting him MD or not. Whats great about the 0004 line in CM is you have a counter to root and the last thing you want is a jedi on top you swing away some go 4000 CM to heal that dmg so you may like that better

But you DONT! need MRM or MCM to kill jedi just get your self an good pistol and have fun saber through range is 32m and pistol is 35m so you can get out of range if you want, no need for cyber arms.

I also hear armor break slice works well is this true?

Yes, go get a set of GOOD recon armor, then find a smuggler and ask for all 3 armor break slices. This will reduce the effect of armor break by 75%, which knocks out one of the jedi's major weapons. I like to add an impact deflection to the armor as well just for a little bonus with the remaining slicing room.

You, or the smuggler, will need for each piece:
1 piece of Shock Absorbent Padding
1 piece of Reactive Micro Plating


Check you vendor search - both are listed alphabetically under Misc->Generic Item. On my server the cost is about 35,000 in parts for EACH piece of armor, but a smuggler will charge more for the trouble of finding and carrying the supplies (most smugglers also charge 2-10K per slice, which is 3 per piece). So needless to say don't use this armor for anything but PvP, or you will be spending about 1 mil a week on armor.

Check out the link in my sig.....

Ask just about any Jedi or BH on Flurry.....

I am MBH, Master Pistols, CM 4000.....

Yes, you can be quite effective as a Pistoleer BH......

back when i was a MP MBH i couldnt afford the 1337 gear it took so i ended up not doing to well, I did OK after i bought like a 40k laser rifle so i could have alot more damage for my dollar
