ok, i don't know what half of those guys are talking about.
People nowadays go bh for 2 reasons. Either to loot hunt MBH marks or to fight jedi. Assault armor is basically useless against both. I dont even bother with my bh armor, i got a full suit of probably some of the best bh armor possible and it sits in my house because it is useless for me.
I spend my primary time hunting jedi. I am pigeonholed into my second prof in order to get certification for an armor that can actually defend against the major type of damage i recieve: energy. If the certs for MBH were switched to recon, i could dabble like i really want to, into rifle and CM, but i am forced, since i am forced to have MBH, to master one of those other profs or be penalized by my armor.
If the primary role of a bh is to fight jedi, why do we not have certification for the jedi's energy type? I say either make sabers kinetic damage like pre patch 9 or go ahead and give us armor we can actually use against them.

i agree BH should get At least battle armor, if not recon. I think Melee professions should get certed for Assult since they are the Tanks in PvE
Not necesarilly.... We are defined as advanced tanks, and we do get the defenses to back it up. There have been many times I've out tanked all the non-Jedi melee'ers in my group due to having a high damage rifle to pull hate off of them. I actually enjoy being able to out tank a tkm/master melee elite/doc and watch him run around futily while I pull and tank for a smaller group (not quite as effective in a spin group).

It really show's how little our new correspondent know's this profession, he whines about one of the good thing's going for us. BH is not all about jedi, in actuallity for general pvp and pve, assault armor works alot better than recon could ever do, this is because it is possible to increase the energy resist's of your armor via the use of psg's to help vs ranged attack's, yes this doesn't help much if your facing a jedi, but our profession is not about jedi.
If you classify bh as jedi, in the same facet we could be claimed to be fight vs ranged for npc marks, in which case a combination of high kinetic and energy resist's would be required, this can only be achieved from combining assault and a psg.

I think changing Assault armor from MBH is a bad idea becuase it would be unfair to all the BH templates who have battle mitigation if you chaged it to recon, and unfair to all the recon mitigation templates if you change it to battle.
EG. MCM has battle ROF and DMG mitigation, so if you changed MBH to battle, they would get DOUBLE the mitigation where PISTOLS and RIFLES would NOT.
MRifle has Recon ROF and DMG mitigation, so if you changed MBH to recon, they would get DOUBLE the mitigation where MCM/MDOC would NOT.
Best left as it is IMO.

Wouldnt be hard to put a cap on it.

From the BH/Commando school of thought. (Enough mocking me for wasting my respecs! 
)
)OH, PLEASE GIVE BH SOMETHING OTHER THAN ASSAULT!!
I'm getting taken apart by marks that con GREY to me. (although I might just suck.... )
)I'd beg something about commando...but we're trying to get that fixed seperately.

I think assault is fine for BH, and the fact that you can get assault armor crafted up to 6200+ energy layered or 8200+ kinetic to suit your needs. I have a suit of shock trooper armor that's 6K kinetic/6K energy/5500 base, quite decent for all-round use and it's assault.
However I would support if BH got battle armor cert, you can get some amazing stats out of those type of armor.

I think it's really silly to see BH running around in padded, tantel etc...while the good stuff is all useless to use. I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of changing the armor certs...at least for Mando and BH armor.

As a correspondent his job is to fight for the majority of us, not a select few like yourself. You dont do Jedi missions, that's cool. But changes like this will provide the majority of us(who do hunt jedi) with more alternatives.
By the way, if you onlydo general pvp or pve you are much better off with other profession. MBH provides oneuseable pvp skill... underhand shot. So really I have to question whether or not you know anything about this profession, or if you're just in it for the NPC loot.
As for assault armor being "the one good" thing going for us. You're an idiot. I can wear BE clothing and take downkrayts, armor in pve hardly makes a difference. The only time I would wear assault armor is when I'm grinding. But that's only because they are the cheapest and most abundant on my server. In GCW PvP you face either range or jedi, the few tkm or swordsman you see you can root/snare and run from. How is assault armor "the one good" thing?

Correct, but you won't be able to take on a krayt after publish 24 and the AI changes without an armour.
Sorry, the guy HAS a point.
