Assault armor cert doesn't bother me,what I'd like to see is the different armor appearances not tied to armor type. That way if I wanted and had the cert I could have say battle armor with a comp skin on it, or Recon Mando etc.

I would leave it the way it is.

I know it doesn't quite make sense having BH with an assault cert but the vast majority of BH templates contain either a recon or a battle cert. Also, the difference between an energy layered assault suit and a energy layered recon suit is at most 7% in real terms.

While that can be quite significant, it comes down to your play style and the choices you decide to make regarding your template which make the game a bit more interesting where jedi hunting is concerned . Do you go for AOE and BH skills, but compromise with assault armor, or do you pick up uber healing and maybe cm dots and take the middle ground with battle armor, or do you go for the best armor protection and the accuracy and speed bonuses of a second ranged prof and take weak healing.

Given, how much the CU messed up the pre CU to post CU armor conversion process, I have no faith that a change like this would be any different

i disagree to turn bh armor cert to recon, this will give a big penalty in pve where assault armors are better then others, this way a bh/rifle (or pistol, carabine ecc), will be greatly penalized i think.

the current certification is pretty balanced, you can wear recon with any other ranged profession, or battle with doc/cm, but assaults are pretty important for a bh.

Without reading all of us......

Why don't you just put in for a stat change to Bounty Hunter armor.

It needs to be 8k energy resistant and low kinetics. That way we can use the BH armor for bounty hunting and always have the option of wearing other assault armors for pve kinetics.

Damn there's some clowns running this game.

KEEP THE STATUS QUO

Bounty Hunters are certed for Assault, and I think it provides an actual game balance. Assault also convokes of being in the front line. A lot of melee are kinetic (except for jedi) and most high end PVE are kinetic such as Goraxes, Ancient Krayts, Unsori.. etc...

Also the Bounty Hunter look is assault (i.e. Composite, Crafted BH Armor, Mando)

To go towards Battle Armor would be idiotic. It's the saddest looking armor in the game. For example, take Padded. I would rather wear no armor than be caught dead wearing Padded Armor. That thing is horrendous. Marauder looks like you just came straight of Zoolander's Derelicte colllection. Bone is okay, although it has the newbie stigma from Pre-CU. And RIS, well RIS, you either love it or hate it. This leaves only factional armor to be stylistically really viable.

Now Recon, just take up a profession that will allow you to wear recon such as Smuggler, Pistoleer or Rifleman. I would've loved it if the New Ranger was Recon Armor, although the Ranger forums are up in arms for the change. So they're keeping Battle.. Blecch.

Anyways, I like the look of Assault and Recon. for Crafted BH Armor and Scout Trooper Armor. If it changes then I'm dropping it and picking up another profession. That's why I'm not a Combat Medic or Carbineer...

I think there's just too much inertia to change. It goes into game balance. It's just simple to pick up a Recon Cert, it's not that hard.

ok i got an AWSOME idea

wat if wen a BH got master and lvl 80 an option popped up to become 1 of 2 different "factions" like dark or light on jedi

one would get battle, one recon armor. it would be just one skill box but would take like 2millioncombat experience or more, the BH gets some skill mods etc. and all other faction BHs with VIS (visability) would apear on terminals for them. you would get VIS by killing a jedi.

so it would be kindof like jedi, accept to a lesser extent, also the extra box would cost no SPs and the BH gets a new attack, one that kicks butt (like a shot fires 3 times without acooldown but drains tons of action, we would love a cloak or camoflage, but i dont think that would happen). not all BHs would do this as they wouldnt want to be hunted, this would solve the problems about people wanting the elete combat proff other than jedi

hope this sounds as neat to you as it does to me

While I would actually like to see the change to recon (as I would be able to use the same armor on all my toons ) I don't think its a good idea as far as balance.

The way I see it, BH gets Kinetic *because* it is the least suitable for Jedi hunting. This makes it so the BH faces a choice with the rest of his template.

If he chooses CM/Doc he takes less armor protection but gains an enhanced ability to heal himself.

If he chooses Rifleman/Pistoleer he gets slightly more protection but loses the ability to heal.

(Carbineer is the odd-ball, personally i think it should be switched to recon)

Id say talk with the armorsmith corr about changing the way armor is listed.

Recons middle of the road, battle is high kenitic, and assult is high energy.

I disagree with changing the armor certification on BH.

According to the plans for the CU: BHs are a type of tanking class. (Remember that diamond diagram on the web site? also we get an "advanced shield" icon)

It makes since that they are in the "front lines" taking kinetic damage.

I dont support this idea since converting means changing high end crafted armor into crap standard stats.

I would hate to lose my Health enhanced max protecion enhanced Mandalorian and BH amror into 5k standard crap.

As far as I was aware, converting an existing suit of armor just reverses the stats. For example 7000 K 5000 E would convert to 5000 K 7000 E

Would you support changing our certs if converting an existing suit would just flip the stats and preserve enhancements?

I do not think this will work. There are to many established BHs that have their suit set the way they want it. I personally would have liked the Assault to be the 6k/6k balanced armor and the other two, Battle/Recon to have plus and negative to their respected stats. THat is just me.
