Thread: MBH MCM 1 tree of ranged vs MBH M(ranged) CM 4/0/0/0
If you have ANY dot on the Jedi before you use paralyze, the paralyze will break. Jedi cannot have any damage from dots or shots for paralyze to work.

I just started using the RIS yesterday, Ive been using Comp...and I don't seem to do any better also.... I just hunted a jedi and I want to know how the hell my paralyze unrooted with in 2 seconds I didnt get one hit on the guy before he had KD and /deathblow me......i am soo starting to hate the CU
im locing the feedback guys, i would like some information on what some of the better skills in MCM are and why they are so hot.
i really appreciate everything im hearing.
i was told battle armor has the best energy protection, just for the record.
battle armour has good all around protection. Its just that we are not certified for it. I'm not sure if this really makes a difference or not.
Can you negate the mitigation problems through food, ca's and aa's? If you can then I would go for battle armour.

Now after reading this thread and taking in advice from some of my friends, due to arecent string offailures, I am wondering how well Master Combat Medic will really work, I mean is it worthdropping toCarbsx-4-x-x, What I really mean to ask is how much am i losingout on, and alsoshould I just grind out pistols,thats all everyone seems to like, but I also like the idea of making the jedi unable to attack me,cause i seem to takedamage at an alarming rate even in a suit of 6K+ R.I.S butby the sound of the posts above it seems alright but, I don't want to risk anything and would like anothersolid opinion
I am a pre-CU BH just comming back to the gamebut Im not very goodwith the CU lol
Thanks

You may want to change the armour that you're using. RIS is for melee profs and is classified as battle armour. What you need is assault armour, i.e composite, bone etc. I think the reason why you're taking so much damage is due to this.
Sell the RIS you should get a good price for it and then by some assault armour. See how your template works and then change if you're still having trouble.
That is the worst advice EVER!
- RIS is very good for hunting jedi..... it's not the best... but it's very good. I prefer recon armor for higher energy resist.
- Assault armor is the WORST armor for hunting jedi, since it has LOW energy resist.
If you want to keep using MCarbs.... i suggest changing to CM 4000 for the heals. Since without master CM, the debuffs/bleeds don't always hit, not as strong, etc. So it's more important to simply tank. With MBH / MCarbs you have the highest sustained DPS in the game with alternating Adv Critical shot and Imp leg shot.
Didn't think that BH's could where RIS. What about the armour mitigation? You could use a PSG for energy protection.
Okay, you are obviously inexperienced as a BH, if you even are one. I would say you are so inexperienced as to not be qualified to give advice yet.
- Any successfull MBH is also going to have a second combat Mastery (Pistols, Carbines, Rifles, Combat Medic, Doctor). Each one of those proffessions comes with either Recon or Battle armor certifications. Both haver better energy resist than assault. Therefore, MBHs can hunt in Battle or Recon armor.
- There is no way whatsoever to reduce armor movement / speed / rate of fire mitigations with food, ca/aa, or clothing.
- PSGs only work against RANGED energy damage..... LS is melee (yes, even when they throw em), so they won't help.

You're correct, i was well off with the armour. Always good to be corrected. Thanks.
