The accuracy of everything in general is pretty out of whack, I have 130 2hand speed/315 2hand accuracy on my melee char and I STILL miss alot on a level 57-58 Nym's Guard for example. Even a MLS misses 1 out of every 5 hit, I've seen a MLS overt swing a Dervish on a group of overts and he missed 3 or 4 of them while hitting 3 others.

And yes valor+aura makes a REALLY tough target to take down, it's pretty hard to tell if defender (and melee stacking) is working as intended or if it's far beyond every other profession's capacity.

So from what I can read in this thread is that the OP is opposed to anything that does not let you get EVERYTHING that you want. That is such the life when it comes to the Skill Point System Used.


I am a Jedi and I will completely admit this even though I'm in the BH forums.....hey got to know what the enemy is up to right?


Anyways I use 1 hand saber as a Jedi for a few reasons. First I refuse to pick up MLS. I don't feel that to be a master of my saber I have to master 3 different types of sabers. As my defiance of this I do not get any AOE attacks or any of the really powerful attacks and god knows I don't get the armor break. This outright puts me in the 25% minority of the Jedi Population. There are other skills that I would like (I am a master Defender still and have been for a very long time....even before it was working) that I just can't have like Sap, Shock, Clock, or thingslike that.


You get the good with the bad. Bounty Hunting has always been focused on Ranged professions from the beginning of the game. They gave BH a lift in skill points by eliminating the necessary skill points from marksman and scout. You have far more skill points now. As said you can get a MBH/ master whatever melee. Your wish is granted....OH wait but you want the strong attacks.......OH wait you want to heal yourself......Well that is just too bad. I'm sorry that this doesn't fit into what you REALLY want to do in the game. MBH/ and master melee profession is plenty viable (yes I was a Bounty Hunter for a time.....back in the days of running to targets).


I have always supported MBH's being able to attack Jedi. It is a content reward for using those skill points and gaining that ability. I'm sorry that you would like to do it from the investigation 4 box.....but yet you don't spend any skillpoint in anything else in Bounty Hunter so what really makes you a bounty Hunter........I'm sorry I absolutely love the player bounties going to MBH.


Now I will admit that I might like to see some Melee stuff into the BH tree cause it just makes good sense (much like smuggler). But just because the change makes you sacrifice something that you want to get to something you want well you just have to figure out what you want more....just like I did.


Edit.....I said sword and not saber.

Tanks, For a long time i have been an Melee BH,I love it no matter how worthless melee is claimed to be now.Can you please let the devs know that many Investigation IV/Melee BH enjoy their customized templates.


With the changes of moving Player bounties to MBH it will end the customization of melee BHing etc..


If the changes are bought to, it is possible to be MBH/one melee Prof, But it will be very weak and eveything in the BH Trees will be worthless because it does not benefit Melee at all.


Can we try to atleast get some melee Feats in some BH Trees,Maybed even MBH if the changes are brought to ,to move player bounties there.


It is sad to be forced to be a ranged BH when you really desire to be pure Melee.





Ummm no.





Wow and what are your reasons beside no, Wait wait since your trolling my post how about this jedi, how about Jedi be forced to what they were in public 9, nothing but jedi all in one trees/profession their was no defender or anything,all you had to be was just acheieve jedi guardian,please dont post at all if you have nothing constructive fahreinheit.





I'd love to be what a Jedi was Pre Pub 9.. or even Pre CU.. Jedi were truly uber back then.

Question :


I'm curious where everyone is getting this info that moving bounties to MBH, is going to result in non-jedi bounties ?


I keep reading over and over again, that this is good because it's going to open up bounties on other players, yet i'm not seeing this anywhere from the DEV-Team. I'm not seeing this, i'm just seeing more limits on who can or cannot attack Jedi players.





Message Edited by Yog-Soth on 07-14-2005 09:27 AM




It's a hypothesis. There's been no direct statement from a Dev that says it's happening.

So the whole arguement that it's good because " they're" opening bounties on other players ; is nothing more then a falacy and based off a rumor ? Unsubstantiated at that, as well.

Using that specific argument as to why it's good? Yeah. Pure unsubstantiated arm-chair developing.


Tanks' statement was what led me to start my clearly stated guesswork. SOMETHING is tied to is that's good for MBH's and NOT tied to Jedi.

NO NO NO Make MBH the only ones that can pull Jedi. I've been an MBH since last August and I'm fed up with dabblers being able to do the ultimate thing in my profession without being master. All the other profs have a special thing they can do at master, why should BH be any different.

Hah. Pistoleer. Root? 0001. Only thing we get in the master box is a slightly stronger/faster quickdraw and an advanced root, which isn't stellarly better than the version people can get at 0004. What exactly can we MPistol do above dabblers? The only professions that have any real reason to get master are creature handler and... oh wait. Thats it. You can dabble the medical professions, and still rez with a cyber arm. The same principle of "all but one" mastery applies to melee as well, where TKM is very beneficial over dabbling.

Unless of course you're talking about crafters, then your statement makes loads of sense.

Even if you like melee, the current dev team does not and is intentially making melee combat not desirable. Note not my opinion, just stating theirs. They will most definitly not care about your melee bounty hunter.


MBH player bounties is one of the first steps to non jedi player bounties, so this is a good thing, not a bad thing.








Im lost at what you mean here, could you explain yourself more?.

Name me one BH in the Star wars universe that uses his hands ONLY to kill. If you can - you got my vote. until then, there should be a reward for having ground MBH, and that is the ability to hunt jedi.

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'. .





Tanks,

Please tell me it's not Caile. If he messed this one up I will have to go smack him.
