Thread: Bounty Hunter Prerequisites Time for a change?

your not the only one....
Switch our pre-requisite to Master Brawler is not a solution. It just gives us another tree most of us probably won't ever use. It's also rather difficult to pick up and the Dev's would never "give" it to us. The answer is to either improve BH or give us back skill points so we can Improve our template however we want. Trading one useless preqequisite for another one is stupid. Besides, if you get rid of the scout prereq then fine, people can pick up brawler skills if they want.
hello
i agree /diagree so i will post my ideas
scout seems very logical...you start out hunting animals...being on your own..learning survival and as has been mentioned a number of times..scout needs to be modified to fit bounty hunter..soo
1. trapping. at novice bounty hunter, bounty hunters traps now work on npc/pc
2. exploration. mask sent now works on npc/pc cannot be seen on map within so many meters..does not work when overt in any faction
3. hunting. maybe a bonus to looting? i dunno
4. survival. alow healing of all wounds at improved camp kit or new BH camp at novice...not as good as the ranger camps..but some kind of healing at novic bounty hunter
a few more ideas based off others
1. +20 accuracy/speed for llc at MBH..or somthing PLEASE
2. pc bounties at MBH
3. for jedi bounties i would like to see another step above MBH called Jedi bounty hunter..would cost a crap load of combat experience and double aprentice points..but would allow jedi bounties...not sure on skill points to use though...as BH need all the spare points they can get to have a fighting chance against PCs and maybe a couple deffensive options against jedi..nothing big..just a little somthing
4. improve BH specials up to levels of pistoleer/carbineer/rifle specials - bleeding shot really really sucks
ok..i had a few more ideas but cant recall them right now

I use my faster speed on mountains and hills to get out of certain death situations when fighting stuff harder then our marks.
Also I am out in the wild a lot and camping is how I heal up.
You can get right back on the vehicle or mount and run away if needed.
Though if we had the defenses of brawler and one of its offshoots we wouldn't need to run away from things :-)
If we were brawler based you could have medititation out of TKA and would not need medic or camps for healing.
Tanks,
I like having scout, I have no interest in brawler. What I think needs to happen is to make the scout skills more relevant to the BH line such as by having human traps, human tracking, etc. Vehicles in general have marginalized much of the scout skills (mask scent, terrain negotiation) for most players, not just BH. I think we should be pushing for our BH line to be fixed to be better representative of the prerequisites, not the other way around. If I wanted a purely combat template, I sure as heck wouldn't have went BH.

You also generally learn things that then supplement and support the next thing you learn. You don't go to law school as a prereq to becoming a doctor.

He why yes I did :-)
How many of you actually use your rifle skills now? How many of you use you pistol/carbine specials from Master Marksmen and below? How useful are they when fighting marks? Very few of us do simply because they are not very useful.
This is what we will get from Mastering Brawler. We will not be TKM's or Master Fencers. You will at best be able to pick up less than two branches of either tree (assuming you drop novice medic). How useful will that be? Brawler skills are not useful to BH's.This is why it was taken out in Beta. It was a good decision. If they get rid of the scout pre-requisite then fine, pick up all the brawler skills you want. Heck you could probably even get TKM or Master Fencer to be an "uber" "leet" template then (seems to me that this is what all the pro Brawler people want anyways).
I still think fixing BH by adding scout related skills to the BH tree is the best solution, but doing away with the scout pre-requisite would also work. Switching from Master Scout to Master Brawler is not an option though!

Very true, but as this is a game, wedo only get 250 skill points,and I was only trying to make a basic comparison that could provide a solution to a problem in the game, I thought it was somewhat appropriate. But thanks for at least voicing an opinion.
Whatever though. I thought it was an interesting idea that might work without upsetting the current set up too much-which I also thought might be more attractive to a Dev.
As far as changes to the prerequisites go. I think its obvious that this isn't a very productive line of discussion since everyone plays his bounty hunter differently and everyone seems to have their own idea about how things should change-me included. So leave it alone until the major bugs are fixed and the combat changes are instituted (did I say when? I shouldsay if. Hard not toget pessimistic reading these boards). Then let's see what we need.

A better question would be how often do you use your accuracy and speed mods from novice lines.
As to rifle you are correct, it is basically useless, LLC should be a BH only rifle and then the mods from the rifle line would stack with it.
