I am a Novice BH/CH/Master Pistoleer. My alt is a Jedi. I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed your stories. I have to wonder though. With you being unbuffed, do you mind sharing how you have your HAM set up?
I am going on my first Jedi hunt tonight (84k) and hope to have the luck that you have. My choice weapons are about the same as yours.
One last thing to get a starting out BH a hand, what specials are you using? and what is your current template?
I know that's alot to ask but any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Keep those stories coming.
Im a wookiee so i naturally get a bit more HAM the other species.. so thats one benefit... but my stats are set a 1100 H 1100 A 800 M if im not mistaken.. I would have to look again (sad but true).. but my secondaries are set to Action all maxed out.. health secondaries are lower and mind is average... works pretty good for me so far.. if I ever need a small enhancement to fight someone whos buffed I take the following (which I carefully shopped for at a lucky price of either free or 20 credits.. seriously..)
I take a pixie (which is supplied by my underground organization's trusted smuggler).. some people dont like taking pixies because of the downer.. this is how i see it... the battle shouldnt last long enough for you to hit a downer.. the only time you get a fight like that is a high level knight or somethin.. and honestly, when your a ranged fighter its hard to have a 10 minute fight... so your either going to win in less than a minute or two or die... so a pixie is a nice addition.. 1000 to health 500 to action.. some people use pixies like a stimpack.. I just use them like a free crap buff... sometimes i forget to use em in the heat of battle though.. (which you will know what i mean when you experience it).
Second I take some biscuits that reduce damage by 25% for 20 attacks... and again.. i usually forget to eat one... i've only used them for the past 2 hunts.. if that.... but in my experience, my marks would rather run for their life than stick around to fight you.. and the funny thing is if they were paying attention and actually looked at me HAM they would see im not buffed and therefore a pretty easy kill if they would just turn around and fight like a man... but like i said.. they usually take off running... I found a crate of these on the bazaar for 20 credits... lucky for me... i only buy stuff at dirt cheap prices... im not a real "uber" fighter who gets the best equipment... but i get along just fine..
And lastly.. I take a couple swigs of brandy depending on who my mark is... usually if your fighting lower level padawans they will still be using their old templates to assist them... usually TK or Swordsman... so you wan to protect your mind because most likely they are gonna bash your head if they decide to fight...
You can always get the best equipment and food but i see no reason to if you just use your head... the only reason to get the best equipment AND a buff.. is to guarantee your victory... your 86k mission or whatever would be cake if you got a buff...
I dont get buffs because I hate them... I just dont like getting "souped up" and making myself practically invincible.. well.. i dont mean that literally.. but you get the point... basically I just like to hunt with my "real" self and not with enhancements from a doc... i view spice and food as legal.. they dont up your secondaries that i know of so you can still die easily enough... but anyways....
Attacks?... specials i use with a pistol would be opening up with a torso shot to panic them (most will when caught on fire and having no healing).. then follow it up with stopping shot to hit all their pools incase they have healing... they will waste more force healing 3 bars instead of just one.. (fast blast hits all three as well).. all i can really suggest to you is to use your head and keep your cool... use surprise to your advantage.. and be patient...
If you need anything else let me know.. i probably didnt cover everything you asked.. sorry if not.
