Thread: YET ANOTHER SLAP AT BOUNTY HUNTERS--> DO U BH AGREE?
SOE need to fix something with jedi, but what? i don t say jedi are ubber, but it gave so many IG...
few solutions:
-decrease jedi skills efficiency ? not fair for real jedi who spent months to achieve their template
-increase "glowt path" ? too late...
-...
Jedi seem to be the main profession for dev. As a consequence, BH too. And others templates are not a priority.
Yes, I totally agree.
All 'regular professions' has become rare and jedi are a 'regular profesion' today.
All this due to the developers pour goodies over jedi to make them stay ingame cause they have been whining and crying so dramaticly.
They even made whine/cry/threaten-to-quit websites when CUwas launched! The devs caved in and poured some more goodies over them as Force Cloak and less action cost for LS attacks as a few examples.
During all this time about nothing has happened with the regular professions. Small adjustments here and there so we others (who are not intrestd in jedi and think Han Solo and Boba Fett are far more cooler than Luke) should be balanced towards jedi. And if there were something that gave us an advantage towards jedi it was swiftly taken away. While jedi still can exploit the TEF and run into houses in midcombat.
And now...publ. 19 arrives...
Jedi get healing nerf, but an Force Armor and LS elemental damage boost. That means one step back and two stepsforward for jedi.
BH gets up on the terms themselves, looses name and reward value on the jedi terms and no other goodies to be worth to mention. Thats three HUGE steps back for BH.
And not much other news for the rest of the 'regular profession' community.
In my opinion SWG isn't worth the fee anymore. The cancel option is very tempting. And LOTR Online looks more and more cool every day.
What youfolks need to consider is that when the CU went live Jedi got no real testing and as such they have had a lot more imbalances to thier profession than most.
Some things needed to be powered down and others needed to be powered up.
I play both by the way, I love my BH toon and my Jedi toon. This patch has me excited for both.

By the way, in advance I realize that u jedi out there will say something along the lines of either haha, quit crying, or deal with it, so these flames will be taken note of in advance, no need posting them.
Actually I would say: You do realize that about half of the patch notes concerning Jedi are in fact nerfs to Jedi abilities, right?
Publ. 19 is ment to make jedi pvp easier. With a passive defense in Force armor you don't even have to hit buttons to evade damage. Your Force armor is going to be stronger than the best ubese armor made. It will cap at 10000 and remove about 60% of all incoming damage.
With this you get a boost on LS elemental damage.
Nice package for jedi! Again....

No Jedi before was using Force Armor, and you also should understand how Force Armor works. A percentage of the damage blocked by Force Armor is taken from the Force Pool, so it is by no means a tanking ability. Any Jedi using it in order to have a protection while fighting instead to be able to escape will run out of Force pretty fast.
You should be more worried about Force Defense instead of Force Enhancement defensive abilities, and Force Defense got a nerf on Avoid Incap.
Furthermore, Force Armor is not a passive ability - it costs Force to activate and has a certain duration, after which it needs to be enabled again.
If you are talking about Force Defense passive Jedi Innate Armor and Ranged / Melee defenses, those dont get changed with Pub 19, so no nice package for Jedi there.

You were probably fighting Force Defenders / Lightsaber templates then - those dont take much damage due to passive defenses, dont need much healing therefore, but got a damage boost in Lightsaber elemental damage. Jedi are supposed to be 1.5 times a fully templated regular profession combo, so this is to be expected. Bounty Hunters have the element of surprise on their side and can pick the time and location of the fight, which most BHs underestimate.
A new MBH noob fool! You should have tried being a MBH a year ago. The devs have been nerfing jedi left and right. BH have never been so powerful vs. jedi then now!
A year ago Ive had jedi just stand there and talk smack as I fired away, watching shot after shot get blocked by the saber. Then kill me in 2 seconds. You dont even have a clue.
Your post only show how little you know about BH vs. Jedi.
