Thread: fighting Jedi and the money it takes....hint for new players
Of course they have the "high ground," that's what makes it fun. I do better and better every jedi mission. With the addition of uber loot from the BH NPC missions, BH's are now able to afford the cool toys that make our jobs easier.
My semi-uber gun (1165 max damage w/ 85 SAC) = 2 mil (after damage slice)
ADK = Free reward
Armor + slicing = no more than1 mil
The most expensive part is the skill tapes, which I agree are insanely over priced. But still, it keeps things interesting and keeps me working toward a goal. I'm by no means an "uber BH" but ive killed 9 jedi by myself. Which is more than none. 
Well I'm 2444 BH, so I will be master soon.
I can reduce some of the cost of this for myself.
I am already msmuggler, so I'll be slicing all my own gear. Doing NPC missions has provided me with almost all the parts I need. The rest I still have some AUK's and WUK's left to convert.
Also with the NPC missions, I have almost looted enough shcems to create a whole suit of BH armor(which I will slice myself) I also have a AS that is offering to craft the entire suit for 100k which seems reasonable on eclipse.
Still working on the weapon. I have 3 adv laser rifles I have sliced in different configs, so hopefully one of them will do nicely against jedi's
I also have a proton carbine I have not sliced yet.....I'm sure it will do some damage. Although I'd like to get ahold of a kryat crafted weapon, I do have some firepower.
That does not eliminate my expenses, but does reduce them a bit.
well smuggler was my first choice. I've been Msmuggler for some time and have only recently started BH, which I've dropped commando for. I'll just have to find a way around it. This biggest thing that hurts though is that i need 3 novice boxes in normal proffs to get this template
unarmed and pistols for smuggler and scout for BH, uses too many SP.
Hopefully I can find some tactics to make up for a bit weaker of a template.

Unfortunatly no. That is something I've been thinking about, but I'm so attatched to smuggler and would need to give that up completely, not to mention a huge chunk of CL, to get medi, then eventually CM. So I'm kinda torn between keeping my current template, and being effective in PVP.
I do have a guildie or 2 I might be able to get to tag along that have CM. But that is as close as I have right now to healing abilities. I do carry a large suppy of stim d's wherever I go. And ruby bliels as well.
Zotux - How do you like the smuggler/bh template?
I've been considering that myself & would like to hear from someone's who's done it.

But according to the feedback in this thread, it won't be too powerfull in PVP. Once I make master and go after a jedi or 2, I'll repost, but that may be a few days as I'm going toa wedding tomorrow and will not have time to play.

This is true, but at the same time, it all depends on your playstyle. I'm an MBH/MRifles/Pistoleer 0003 with too many FS skills to have any healing. I don't like long drawn out fights anyway, and I have no intention of fighting with an Mdef until they run out of force. I am by no means the best BH out there, but I have killed my fair share of jedi, and I have taken down complete templates.
