Thread: Melee BH Discussion
Just remember, be nice and no flaming. This is a constructive discussion.
Having a "melee equivalent" to MBH is a great idea. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 months as a BH / TKM prior to CU, and I still enjoy melee on a non-BH toon.
Ideas have been kicked around, but the current structure of Brawler (four weapons lines, but no support line) makes the prereqs kinda hard to pin down.
I'd like to see a requirement of Unarmed + another weapons line (2H would make the most sense, but that's already theprereq for TK), and the structure much like current BH. Investigation line, and three separate weapons lines that each give decent bonuses that would help withwhatever secondary profession you chose.
A Melee-MBH/MDoc or Melee-MBH / MSwords / Doc 4000 would be an absolute TERROR for Jedi because so many of their skills (like Saber Block) seem custom-made forfighting BH.

Now that we finally got BH to become a ranged profession - lets keep it that way. We dont need the melee BHs back again.
In fact I think all melee professions should be the way they are today. It has added alot of SW-feeling to get the blasters back on the streets.
If you want to play a melee guy a sci-fi MMORPG maybe isnt the right game for you?
I disagree. TKM's from what I understood used to actually fight dark Jedi when they turned to the dark side.
As for moving Jedi hunting strictly to the Master box, I am still undecided wether I like it or not. Ive been MBH for a long time now, so it never really effected me. The only thing it really did was create FOTM BH's, and protect the Jedi that much more by limiting the diversity of effectiveBH templates in one singlepublish. Melee BH's were extremely effective.
Its not like we have a shortage of Jedi. Let the Melee BH's in on the action too.
Sure, i can agree melee guys could have thier part of the fun killing jedis too, as long it wont be that melee BHs are the only ones that can take on full temps as it used to be. It's bad enough that only MBH/Mrifleman/Cm are the only ones today that can kill a full temp.
I can accept melee BH being equal to ranged BH and not having any other bonuses vs jedis. But it still would not be very SW-ish feeling with those and as the game is today we really need ALOT more SW-feeling to it.

I wish some type of option would be feasible for a melee BH. My cousin quit because he could no longer be a melee BH and all the BHers are going rifleman. It really put BH in a very tiny box.
