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 ?

You can go PvP anytime, just go Special Forces.
It should be a reward for Master your profession. As a employeer. I would not be looking at a trainee to kill a dangerous Jedi. I would have to call for the best the Profession have to offer. a Master Bounty Hunter!
I was a old time Master Bounty Hunter (I master when there were no Mounts, Player Shuttleport, and Inv Exp was almost nothing for killing your mark. (Plus my Favorite white con marks!)
Plus with the Nerfs on Jedi with Patch 19 it doesn't take much skill if you have the right temaplate.

Hey all the ranged ones were forced to go melee to fight jedi pre CU.
Well, I have always been ranged. Master BH since before the CU. But you have a good point. In order to be a viable fighter pre-CU, you had to be a melee hybrid. It is apparent that melee has no place in the BH profession or SOE would have put melee skills and mods in the BH profession trees. This arguement has gone on for a very long time about BH dabblers. Looks like the "true" BH are being heard and SOE agrees. The arguement is over. Move along, move along.
Thank you, Sir/Ma'am/Other.

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.....

Good in pvp/ pve/ and pvj
In other words, play the FOTM template the way the devs are forcing us to play.
Wasn't the CU supposed to put an end to that? sheesh.
Sorry, I tried, even got into a bit of a rumble with an anti-PvP/PvE Jedicorrespondent (not the Jedi corr.)that popped into my thread on this matter. The final word came down just a bit ago. It will go to Master.
The caveat:
You'll just have to wait for Publish 21, there is some love comin'.

Damn your vagueness and/or NDA! Spill the beans, oh mighty defender of all that is scum and villainy!
In regards to the MBH placement being final though.. god damnit. Thats all I have to say. Guess I'll have to either bounce between MCM and MBH depending on whether I feel like hunting jedi or PVE mobs, or I'll have to settle with paying 20x what I normally would for weapons, or clone 20x more often while hunting gorax/krayts.

Interesting...
Because ya know, there was a a melee BH in the movies.. I believe Zuckuss holds an LVA in Empire
But, I Really miss it.. I've seen some DEADLY Melee BH's out there.. Saw a guy absolutely school a finished template, pre-cu jedi. I'm thinkin bout grabin that template, but it will be impossible with teh MBH change.
Bounty Hunter is a "ranged" profession...not melee...hence the three skill trees of "RANGED" combat abilities...What Bounty Hunter would want to get within melee range of their mark? Not I.
Hunting another player should never be below a Master skill....

I agree and support you stormtrooper ; Moving PvP to MBH was a bad move, limits templates, limits effectivness for 1 on 1 combat as well. Combat is already in the jedi player's favor, and before anyone flames me with " first strike " keep /duel in mind ok.
Dabbling, stacking, grinding and training skills you want are what benefits the BH, not 3 tree's of ranged profession that you won't use. This change is nothing more then another ' give me' to people who wanna play an alpha class with no counter. The other changes are not only acceptable, but beneficial to the community ; While this change benefits only 1 class, and it's NOT the class that got the change.
Yes yes, please shut up mr.respec BH...... Well guess what, i couldn't respec BH without dropping one of my other 2 masteries, so yes i actually did grind the 4-4 in my template. This change effects me in a big way aswell as anyone who doesn't wish to completly change their template, or go into a new proffesion.
Off topic but : How many changes to Jedi have they made, that limits the number, time, location or ability to kill another proffesion ?
