Jedi are twits I try not to be like them at all in any way, shape or form. I do not advocate any exploits. They need them because they are weak even if they are technically more powerful. Jedi is a crutch and I honestly feel that the majority of people that feel they need to go jedi are the kind that feel they need to use exploits. If this were a post about using /duel to find a bounty on the jedi forums all of them would be saying "yes you should" when it's in fact an exploit. The bhers here saying don't do it are showing how we are above it.

Yes we kill them and enjoy it...yes we will use whatever legitimate tactics to accomplish that but most of us will not exploit.

Please, the problem is the showoff and annoying Jedi. Just takes a few to give most a bad name. I don't showoff or do any of the other really annoying things Jedi do. But I do have a MBH that takes care of those Jedi in starports.

Honestly, I think any BH should be able to get a TEF on a Jedi in a non-player city that uses a LS. Maybe not XP loss on this one, but at least a TEF to reduce the showoffs. It would make things so interesting for both Jedi and BHers.

It's all useless now anyway. If a Jedi has cloak, a BH no longer has the first strike ability. Stasis or not, this game is turning into a joke. I'm not crying nerf, I'm just stating that the ability's that BHs once the advantage on are starting to fade.

My friend, a Jedi cannot attack a BH unless the BH has attack first. Sure, they can cloak if they see you coming, but CANNOT attack you first. Therefore your argument is not only invalid, it demonstrates your newness to the BH profession

---

No, and I'll tell you why.

I've seen this happen to many BH, and once to my self. What happens is, say, I'm a rifleman. I'm not going to be very close to my target when I attack. I open up with sniper shot, the Jedi realizes he's under attack, and since I'm 60m away, he cloaks. Now he has 2.5 minutes so buff, slam some foods, and decide where and when to attack. This is how BHs lose their first strike ability. The Jedi no longer has to spend time mid fight buffing and eatting. Not flaming, just saying.

---

Sir,
In the above described situation did you or did you not initiate the attack? YOU still pulled the first strike. As far as the Jedi now being aware of your presence and consequently, cloaking and preparing for battle, your own BH correspondant will concur by saying that this IS WORKING AS INTENDED. There are ways to defeat a cloaked Jedi. I(f you want to know the secret, send me a PM or consult with the more veteran Bounty Hunters. Alas, a rifleman at 60 meters is most definitely not one of them.

"Learn your profession, stop trying to nerf others"

I smell exploit on cloakers, lol. I've seen countless methods, a smart cloaker won't be caught by any of them.

master enhancers take a very serious drop in defenses and other skills for the privledge of having stasis ... makes them pretty much bh proof ... but then again master defender is pretty good too ... or cloak ... umm ... its scissors paper bounty hunter I'm afraid.

Then stasis is overpowered. It's no more an exploit than a Jedi having a friend or creature intentionally DB him.

---

More overpowered than MCM skills? Nothing wrong with stasis. He used stasis, and ran to loose tef and dropped a house. He could of caught up with the Jedi and kept the TEF, but he didn't. I think stasis only lasts 30 seconds at most if nothing breaks it.

Why is it the few Jedi skills that work fine are always getting called for nerf? Cloak, stasis, force run are always receiving these cries. They already nerfed our healing and LS many times.

NO way THATS BS!!!! I think he should be allowed to bring a friend with him and unstasis him! Its NO different than the jedi having a friend deathblow him and steal ur money and PvP rating.

---

Now this is one of the larger problems. People justifying exploits because another player did it. And yes, it is VERY different. I won't fight a BH when he has friends coming in, because then I know he's got something stupid and probably an exploit planned. That's when I will drop the fight.

Sending someone a /duel is not an exploit. Ppl send me duels all the time without me asking. Most jedi know who the "good" BH's are anyway. You don't need the /duel command to tell you. Some BH's make themselves obvious by simply shuttling in to a imp city (when the BH is rebel) or that lone dot coming directly toward your hunting group or circling around it 3 times. LOL try being a little more discrete. If the Jedi has the opportunity to use /duel on you then you choose the wrong time. The best BH's are the ones you never see till it's too late.

---

This is very true. I only used the /duel once, and that was when BH was telling me face to face he was dropping mission. I just wanted to verify it, and we were going to duel anyways.

Every BH that has come for me in last month or so, I saw coming in advance. And I would actually slow down and let them catch up to attack. Most of them REALLY are no surpise. Let's face it, you're in middle of nowhere, a fully buffed CL80 DOT comes charging towards you, it doesn't take much to figure out what they're up to. Most (not all) BHers don't take the time or have the patience to work on a complete surprise attack.

Hey Skippy,
Have YET to be killed by a BH. Furthermore, since you have already tried to insult me in other threads, I know that you are already aware that I am Master Powers, so pearl drops do not concern me. Ty, move along

So increasing your damage is what the game needs and you're already unbeatable? Do you not use a lightsaber?

---

There is no such thing as unbeatable Jedi. And if you knew ANYTHING at all about Jedi, you would know why pearls and crystals have no effect with MPOWERs who do not use them. And you would know that premiums are not a threat.

screw calling it an exploit. when i am hit with stasis the first thing i do before the timer even runs down is ask in guildchat for someone to come out and duel me.

---

Considering how short the timer is, there is no way any of them would catch up in time. You would be lucky to even get a response before you could exploit and get yourself banned.

If that were true then Jedi wouldn't feel that they need them.

But as it is MOST jedi beat MOST bounty hunters MOST of the time.
