Thread: A question for bh's who only do missions and don't pvp
Just a quick shout out for MBH/MCH types. im having no trouble beating the silver marks, and the gold marks just make me eat food to win.
Oh and by the way, Holding a LS and swinging it madly does NOT make you a Jedi. Got to be confirmed by the council ya know.

Agreed, but based on the description I do not think Strartle Shot and/or Disarming Shot are suppose to break on Damage. All the specials that break on Damage state so, these do not. They are suppose to be 5 seconds dazes that should not break on damage. At least that is how they are described and I understand it.
Thanks for all the advice!
Some additional info: I won't be grinding this into a jedi. i have my 24 points in fs tied up because of the free slot i unlocked (my weaponsmith who's template i can't change).
So it seems the MOST i can be is 2 masters plus 3 boxes in a basic novice line, like 0300 medic, or 3000 marksman. Ive tried all sorts of test templates on the chracter builder programs but i don't hit combat level 80 unless i master 2 professions, so taking part rifle, part cm and mbh doens't work, it has to be 2 masters plus 3 boxes in a basic novice line.
atm being a mr mcm, i can solo tons of things. I use paralyze a lot on krayts. I don't know if a BH boss is someone i can get close enuf to paralyzeand debuff, or whether he is a ranged fighter in which case I guess mcm is mainly used for heals? I do like the conceal and startle shot ofMasterrifles, and i currently have cyber arms for extra range...however, I'm worried that if i go MBH, MR and 0300 basic medic, my heals won't be good enuf ( i think i'll only have the very lowest heal only and only one type). If i go MBH MCM, will my damage output be quite weak compared to that of MBH MR (and i can't sneak up and shoot away I take it). I am really really nervous about respecing becausein the past i have experienced converting to a different profession that didn't end up being like i hoped it would be.

I'd have to say with DS running ....
mbh, mp, mm, 3xxx rifleman. my build.
low health mobs i wear 6kenergyresist armor with psg. sometimes you get guys with kinetic pistols so i might heal 2 times with them. i start with root and use rifle. then switch to pistol and beat them down.
30k health mobs i just wear 8k energy resist armor same thing. with these guys i will heal3 times, and maybe run them in circles. unless they are using a t21 then i go in close. most i can stand there and live with only a couple of heals.
i use 1k plus stim d's. i use neutron pixie. canape, range def drink. breath of heaven. crispic.
fun for me and i am slowly building up stuff to use. got nice cells casings ca's and aa's.

True, Narf, both will work fine. However, I find that CM's rarely even need Stims nor Ruby Bliel to take down boss marks with 30k+ health.
im a mcm mbh, and i have never used a stim yet. ive only had one mark incap me out of 100+, and that was when i was still grinding and was only cl 70ish and the guy was 5 level above me.
get a psg, a good capped gun and paralyze, debuff, dot, kite.
too damn easy

But the Empire and SOE killed the council! There are no Jedi left! We're just wizards with glowsticks wearing robes.

Have you not noticed that when you are hit by an NPC with Disarming Shot or Startle Shot it is based on time but when you hit an NPC with one it breaks on Damage (not time).
It bugged.
