It wont work.


When facing a full jedi, or even a half leveled padawan you will run out of force and die.

You need to get channel force for your template to have a slim chance.

Consider: Yes you may have MLS... you may have healing abilities.. both of these use up force to work. Force regenerates extremely slow.

A half-leveled padawan with channel force and just heal all 1 and saber box 3 or 4 will ream you a new one...especially since you have almost zero melee defenses.

So then what would you recommend picking up after BH 3000? Where would you allocate points in FS skills? Where would the rest go in full-fledged Jedi skills?

I just picked MLS because I thought it would be funny since that is what makes ranged BH so inneffective most of the time. If you think there is a viable template that you would pick if you were going this route, what would it be?

Hehe, yeah, I know I don't just say, "oooh, gimme!" and I get to be a Jedi. I understand the grind, lol. Just wait till you start grinding BH, lol. Of course, I wish you could experience it the way the first BH did when there were no real buffs, no good armor, no good weapons, and no speeders to follow your marks (I hear horrible tales of group hunting Durni lairs for weapon and combat XP). I don't care about what any Jedi says...that HAS to have been the most time-consuming grind this game has ever had.

Ok, so let's say I get BH 4xxx (because the stalker title is cool). I spent 77 points on Master Marksman, 29 points on Scout 4xxx, and 20 on BH 4xxx. That totals to 126 points used up, 124 points remaining. So I hear I need to also then get 6 trees in FS. What if I get Combat Prowess 44xx, spending 8 points, Crafting Mastery x4xx, spending 4 points, Enhanced Reflexes 44xx, spending 8 points, and Heightened Senses 4xxx, spending 4 points. That's 6 FS trees, 24 skill points spent. That leaves me with a total of 100 skill points to spend, all in Jedi skills.

At this point, I could spend 89 points and become a Lightsaber Master, leaving me with 11 points to spend. So I'll pick up Novice Force Healing, spending 8 points, and invest my last 3 points to bump myself up to Crafting Master x4x3. That is all my skill points. I'm now a Bounty Hunter who can hunt Jedi, and I am also a Jedi at the same time.

Mathematically, that is acheivable. What I'm trying to figure out is where to spend those 100 points after I become BH 4xxx and a Padawan. Apparently Lightsaber Master does not seem viable to anyone, so what would you do? Perhaps I should go for Lightsaber xx44, Force Healing 44xx, and then spend my remaining 4 points to bump myself up to Crafting Mastery 4xx4.

I don't know the intricacies of what each box offers me. I realize that If I am spending 150 points before I even spend anything in Jedi trees, that I obviously won't be as powerful as Jedi who don't bother with the BH route. I'm just wondering basically how would you spend 100 skill points in the Jedi trees.

im not high in jedi skills yet but i do have channel force and box3 in saber and box2 in healer so far. I can constantly channel/heal/channel/heal during a prolonged fight and keep myself with force to fight with. If i was facing you in combat, you would do much more damage than me with the saber, but by the time I force you to heal 2 or 3 times you're outta force..and your butt is mine since you wont be able to use saber specials or heal.

I dont believe BH/jedi works at all. You would end up facing an opponent who has the same combat skills you have..just a heck of a lot more of them and a buttload more force power to use them against you. Kinda like a master brawler trying to go up against a master melee proff you know?

you could probably try box4 bh invest, 2 branches in saber, healer 4.0.0.0 and enchancer 0.0.0.2 ..with FS combat mastery and reflex defenses.

that way you can hit decently hard, heal up (though you be vuln to state defenses..but there's foods for that) and enchancer box2 gives you channel force which will definetely help you.

Id say you have a 50% chance of killing a mid-level padawan with this if you use bomb droids and lots of food stuffs.

But a knight will chew you up and ask for the A-1 sauce.

You would do ok against low level jedi, but then you wouldnt need all the trouble of jedi to do that...anyone higher than MLS alone would give you a thrashing...

Is that for the first template I suggested, or the one without MLS?

BH 4xxxx
Combat Prowess 44xx
Crafting Mastery x4xx
Enhanced Reflexes 44xx
Heightened Senses 4xxx
Force Enhancement xxx3
Force Healing x3xx
Lightsaber xx44

This would give a max force power of +2350...I don't know how little that is though.

BH 4000 (really only going 4000 instead of 3000 for the Stalker title, cuz it's cool)
MLS
Force Healing 3100
Heightened Senses 1000

Really, I think the stuff after MLS is negotiable. I'm just wondering about being a Jedi with MLS who can also hunt other Jedi. Would this work?

Do you think I could get a mission on myself? That would be an interesting bug.

hahha...odd I came here to ask if it was possible to be a Bounty hunting Jedi or at least a BH with a LS.

I think we had a guy on Ahazi who ran around with a setup like this.
