Hi All, I've been away for a while and I went to do a lv 80 NPC BH mission yesterday and got my rear handed to me by a lvl 81 elite ...I'm just wondering if anyone has strategy ideas? We talking Doc buffs and Food/drink again to complete these missions? Any suggestions would be great..thanks

What template are you?

As MCarb, CM 4xxx and BH 3444 (Im going master, calm down) I "need" food for most silvermarks.

I use Bofa treat and that other similar thingie, and Garrmorrl or Accarragm...

Yep, I would've gotten some healing if I were you. There's no reason to root them if they can hit you with a ranged weapon.

Are you using advanced duelist stance?

Do you have a attack droid (grouped) to help?


Doc buffs and food would certainly help


Are you just planning on hunting NPCs or do you also plan on hunting PCs?


Do you have stims?


I'm not saying the above tactics will work 100% of the time, but they'll help. Most people will recommend at least some kind of medic in your template; I personally have Medic xx2x with a Bio-enhanced shirt and bandolier for healing efficiency and it's all I need


Now if you come across some of the high-regen bosses that are out there, you might be in over your head... as are many hunters

With that template he still has enough points to get med support 2 or 3. It's similar to my mbh on TC. Couple that with a +healing efficiency shirt and/or the +healing efficiency gloves from Mustafar and it should give enough per heal to keep you alive while fighting elites.

Get some nice stat battle armor, 6.5k and above, also you might want to think about dropping pistols for some healing - just a suggestion.

I do have medic 0220


I was using stimpacks...I wasn't using food.


Wasn't using advanced duelist stance....I'll have to try that.


I want to hunt NPCs, but when and if they add in other player bounties I would like to hunt them. Hunting jedi is annoying so I just don't bother. Maybe one day I will start jedi hunting again.


I need to get myself some bio-clothing as well


Anyone else have any other suggestions for me?


Thanks again guys

I was just looking at some of the armor on the trade channels. For NPCs which would be better Kinetic, Energy, or Elemental or does it not matter now?

Good. So you use stims, toss, and shot. I'd also suggest picking up a +110 Medical droid


Foods are sorta buggy atm... well, not so much the foods, but defenses. Currently Ranged Defensive mods protect you against ranged and melee attacks, so all you need to focus on is Thundercloud. I believe you need to eat, unequip your weapon, then re-equip for your defensive buffs to kick in, not sure though. I usually save my drink space for ruby, but that's just me


Wasn't using advanced duelist stance....I'll have to try that.


I certainly would suggest it. ADS adds +250 defense to your character for 30 seconds and I've noticed a significant difference while using it. Problem is, not many other hunters use it. Not very handy against Jedi, which is a long story, but against NPCs it's great


I want to hunt NPCs, but when and if they add in other player bounties I would like to hunt them. Hunting jedi is annoying so I just don't bother. Maybe one day I will start jedi hunting again.


While other PC bounties is definitely something I and the Smuggler corro would like to see implemented, SOE hasn't put any sort of timeframe on those yet. With that in mind, I'd suggest you go ahead and switch your template for now. As others have mentioned, you don't need stopping shot for targets that use both ranged and melee attacks


Personally, I'd suggest switching to Master Rifles. Leg shot is more powerful than headshot, but IMO startleshot more than makes up for it. Any time you heal, turn on duelist stance, or do anything else that doesn't inflict damage, use startle shot (or any daze attack) for a fe extra seconds to do what you need to get done. As far as your other 52 SP goes, combat medic is popular but some extra accuracy will up your damage output


I need to get myself some bio-clothing as well


Get healing eff shirt and bandolier and use a +110 medical droid and your current medic template will give you +1100 stat heals
