good post...but i think the respec'd bh's will learn from all of these hints, plus they will just have to experience it on there own...respec is here for a reason. and you cant really say you like it until you've tried it.

Guys, guys, guys

settle down.

So what if Tanks told them all how to pull a mission and launch a droid. That is the easy part. He hasn't told them anything of tactics, dirty tricks, how to properly set up a bomb droid, etc. Just don't tell your secrets until after this craze dies down and the wannabes get weeded out.

Heck, I have been a BH for over almost 9 month and I am still relearning my tune in terms of the new combat system. I haven't even fully respeced yet, I am still playing around with skill combinations and what type of gun I like, etc.

Until then, the JEDI can continue to pad their combat rating with noobs. That is fine, that will make them soft.

I see their faces in my dreams... the 167 jedi I have killed. They are waiting for me beyond the river Styx . They say, 'Welcome, brother'...

I'll take organized patterns of chaos, over the chaotic organizations of man anyday.

I am a respec'd MBH and not ashamed to admit it. i feel i worked hard for my pre-cu master rifleman and master swords man. That was my template for several months before CU. I was finally starting to learn and become good at the little things that make a true gamer great. Then BAM! CU comes along and basically makes everything i worked for change to something I no longer enjoyed. I have earned the right to respec to different templates so that i can again find a place in this game that I can enjoy and have fun with. At this point BH is a very versitile profession that allows for a LOT of personal preference and individuality. Things like that don't stay secret for long.

Just try to hang in there everybody. The adjustment period won't last forever. Everyone should respec as much as possible to experiment with as many different templates as they can. Find your fun zone...i dare you.

You know that scene, the one where Marlon Brando did that little hand wave right before he died. Yeah. That was beautiful man.

I wrote this before the NGE, now I feel like Brando

I actually didn't respec to BH, just used the 4x xp to grind my way to it. I'm 1xx4 at the moment (goes with my Master Rifleman) and I'm learning the tricks of the trade this way.

I would like to ask one question though: if we kill a Jedi, does he lose his xp? I hear lots of talk about Jedi being "set back".

Yes... a jedi will lose 2X the bounty in xp.

• Go to a BH terminal and look for missions. Once you select a mission it will be downloaded to your datapad.


• Next you need to talk to an informant (list is stickied), but the most common one used is in Kaadara next to the star port (convenient).


• You talk to the informant, and he will give you the bio-signature of your mark.


• Now, you are ready to launch and Arakyd probe. You have to go outside the city limits for this.


• Using the radial menu on the probe, launch it, you will see some system messages and in a short while (20 secs or so), the probe will land.


• Go to the Probot that lands, click on it to activate the radial menu and transmit the bio signature.


• After a short while you will get a message saying that your mark is on Planet XXX.


• Go to the planet, and you will see a waypoint to your mission. That was the mark location at the time you transmitted the bio-signature.


• Launch a seeker droid, using "Find and Track" option.


• After a while your WP will update and will keep on updating at regular intervals. If you get a message saying "...droid lost target", launch another seeker.


• Go to your mark and collect you bounty.

Now, the above sequence of events is for any mark. Of course for Jedi, you have to check to see if he/she is online. Best way to do this is to put them on your friends' list. Do not pick up the mission of Jedi that is not online.

Most importantly, try an NPC mission if you have never hunted bounties before. It is a good exercise to learn the mechanics of droids and missions, plus 30K is much better than regular destroy missions anyway.

I love how the BH Correspondent glosses over the details of actually following through on the last step. I love the respec BH's, they give me practice in post CU PvP to take on 'real' bh's that might actually bring a friend. BH's think they're hot stuff with some pistoleer roots/snares, but they tend to panic when the jedi rushes them with a root, snare, kd and lighting fast saber attacks
