You'll have Impale, probably the most powerful melee attack there is, why would you want power attack anyways with that stupid warmup. I did MBH/MSwords throughout most of the CU before I finally used the token respec and I didn't really have a problem with it, the only times I couldn't hold up was to those 226K's with pre-CU sabers and knew what they were doing and some of those MDefs or hybrids. Constructive enough?
Okay since you like Melee BHing as you claim, Than tell me this why are you so against investigation IV Customized templates, Why do you seem against adding Melee feats in MBH Box/BH Trees.
And healing is a must these days.

It's been long understood that the Bounty Hunter profession is the ONLY profession wherein a non-master is actually more effective then at the master level....the Devs have finally figured this out...thus the change.

This could have easily been resolved by giving MBH something desirable for people to have. Gimping template customizability just to allow MBH to have something over anything else is stupid. Hell, advanced critical has the same output as improved or advanced leg shot, why didn't they just increase that? That'd drive alot of BH to take it.

And the point is, by giving us the ability to hunt jedi at master, they took away our ability to hunt the way we want. I myself have been MBH on principle, but I understand the desire of people to be something other than the same as everyone else.

you will still be able to take an entire other elite ranged master of your choice and have great heals CM4000
or go with a more tank oriented BH by adding a melee class and have slightly lesser heals.

I truly applaud your ability to look at what you have rather than what you do not. I am afraid that my optimism has pretty much been taken away by SOe with this.
To leatherneck, while I disagree with you on a great many things, I admire your well constructed posts, and thanks for the mention of DDO. I despised the PnP hack'n'slash game, but their website absolutely wowed me. Applied for beta within minutes of finding the site, and I am a sci-fi guy, not swords n sorcery. MxO just left me with nothing to do but level, and WoW, while an all around excellent game, just has no class that holds me like BH has done here.
Here's praying for SWG2.....

Agree 100%, I was forced to go fencer for a long time to have any sort of defences before they actually gave MBH some love.
I stubbornly kept MBH for 15 months cos I was convinced the devs would make it worthwhile, now they have done that everyone is trying to take that away.
And anyway, this is starwars, you don't bring a knife to a gunfight

First of all, jedi don't use guns, so "bringing a knife to a gunfight" is a very stupid analogy.
Second, as I stated above, you at least had a CHOICE as to whether to go melee to be a defense stacking wh0re, or build your own template. Would that make you a good bh? Probably not, but this thread has never been about allowing people to be viable in any template. Its about people being able to actually do the templates they want.
People who state that we have the choice of another profession + 4000 cm are people who are too absorbed in the FOTM bull**** (I completed my template of 0004 CM before CM became the "lol sheep sheep" profession, fyi.) to realize that there currently is, and post patch 20 used to be MORE options, and thats all we're complaining about. We don't want to be limited to a handful of templates YOU think are good.
Third, as I stated above (sigh, how many times am I going to have to say this?) they could have easily made MBH desirable WITHOUT taking away template customizability. Instead they opted to screw those of us who don't want to follow the fotm formula, but rather play what we want to play.

WHat if we flip this coin over ?
What if Jedi could not PvP anyone, untill they " master ? " PvP'ing as a jedi should be a reward for mastering it right ? Thats the same logic. And since only MBH would be hunting them, it would beneficient to the Jedi as they would have to be " mastered" as well. Any Master Jedi template should be able to hold his own against a single MBH right ?
That would solve " paddy hunting " , and griefing wouldn't it ? I mean a master jedi should be able to hold his own against a MBH, especially with /duel advantage so no real loss there. No more Jedi-gank squads, no more ' unhonorable' Jedi flooding the GCW ; Would end this jedi dabbling, and BH/Jedi toons as well.
It doesn't look soo good when applied to you does it ?
