K bounty hunting people ! help me get good.

My template is MBH, MCM, pistols 0004

I bought the best carbine on my server recently.. 1060 damage and 73 SAC, which is awesome - 3.5 million.

And I bought battle armor, all these foods, powerups, droids, good stuff... with all that it came out to 5 million

So today I try my newly minted BH and won 0 out of 4 fights, with 1 of them being a draw and the others having me die in. 2 jedi were enhancer, 2 were defender, all had MLS.

I didnt really have a problem staying alive. The problem was that I didnt do ANY damage. Against the enhancers my damage capped carbine would hit for 300-400ish, and against defenders 100-250 ish. I couldnt believe it. My CM dots were probably doing more damage than I was.

How are people supposed to win solo when we do so little damage? Is there anything I can do to hit for more damage, because its just insane that a 3.5 million credit carbine only hits for 100.. I hate to think what normal weapons hit for.

Give me some tips people ! For long fights..no surprise attack garbage!!

Thanks,

Adalie

You picked a template and are now trying to use it completely wrong...

MBH/MCM doesnt deal damage to a Jedi, if you wanted to deal damage then MRM/MBH was for you. You picked a template designed to burn the forcebar of a Jedi, where DoTs are your primary form of damage. Let me clear a few things up for you.

An Jedi with 0040 defender (which would be about 80% of your server im guessing) will reduce any damage you can deal with any gun you use to CDEF levels. Thats a fact, expect it, prepare for it. It doesnt matter what gun you use, once aura is hit, you'll be dealing minimum damage with that weapon. If you must use a gun, then a FWG5 (most likely featherweight) is your best option.

If you arent prepared for long fights where you dont deal much damage and have to use CM for output, then find a new template. Your template should reflect your playstyle if you ever hope to beat a good Jedi, simply getting the uber-pill of the month is not enough if you dont know its strengths and weaknesses and are prepared to live with them.

In short, 'a BH' doesnt do little damage, you do, based on your template which is designed not to deal damage.

Even though ours was the draw, I feel you actually did well. Neither of us could damage the other enough to overcome our abilities to heal. ( excellent job on the kiting btw ). And you can take a small amount of satisfaction that I broke off the encounter.

What you did right :

coming at me as a rebel was a good ploy. I've gotten sloppy about consideringsame faction as a threat. It bought you a few seconds of surprise that as a neutral ( orimperial ) you wouldn't have gotten.

great job of kiting.

great job on healing. I was watching your mind, and you were careful not to get yourself to the point where you would run low when I would press the attack.

What you did wrong:

You made some assumptions about my template that were wrong.

You attacked while I was at full health, full force, and un-distracted.

You attacked on my home turf.

You let me escape ( considering I didn't even use burst run, or cloak ).

Regardless of the outcome, you have my respect. I forsee you ironing out the rough spots, and becoming

a BH of renown.

The reason you have such a low damage output is because you have so little accuracy. A MCM / MBH SHOULDNT do the same damage as a MBH / MCB or MBH / MRM. You give up your damage output for better heals / debuffs.
