Bounty Hunter Archive

Why do you people keep coming into our forum and saying that we should suck at killing things. Bounty hunters, wether you like it or not, are one of the best things in the galaxy to kill 1v1. They make a living off of killing things, where as pistoleers dont.

I would like to run this by you and see what you think:

Bounty hunters should be best at killing things 1v1. Classes should fear dueling a bounty hunter. Bountyhunter should be practicly useless in faction battles, (this could be arranged by high HAM costs on their moves... which ppl seem to not like, but I feel if bounty hunters were specialists, then people wouldnt mind as much.) this would discourage bounty hunters from joining factions (like they really dont in SW) and if PVP was released, then factions could put bounties on ppl they wanted dead, and bounty hunter could be restored to apropo (sp) for the SW galaxy.

Commandos should be best at Faction battles. They should be ideal for killing many people, and would make them one of the best things to have in faction battles. They should not be as good at 1v1 as BH though.

Weaponspecialists should be very good at Faction battles, but not as good as a commando HOWEVER THEY MAKE UP FOR THIS BY HAVING MORE SKILL POINTS TO SPEND IN OTHER TREES. IN theory they would be AS GOOD AS THE OTHER CLASSES IN THEIR SPECIALIZED CATEGORY, AFTER THEY HAVE SPENT ALL THEIR SKILLPOINTS. A weaponspecialist, BY HIMSELF, should get the living **edit**sky kicked out of him, by a bounty hunter or a commando, simply because he has not used as many skillpoints. After all is considered, depending on what they spend their skills on they should be as good as them.

As it stands now, an entertainer can pick up the pistoleer tree, and kick the **edit** out of a bounty hunter. Simply because he decided to hop on the band wagon, and pick up pistoleer.

Ofcourse all these would vary depending on how far up the skill line they are, and ofcourse jedis would just rule all.

IN closing, stop worrying about our class and saying that we deserve a nerf. You may not agree, but I have worked very hard to get my bh status, and as a casual gamer, it took me 3 weeks to a month to get BH. My friend picked up pistoleer in 3 days, and he could compete with me. This disturbs me. You can say stuff like, well you guys had to master scout, so you shouldnt have that be an edge in combat.

That is just because in all honesty, I dont think SOE had anything better for bountyhunter to spend their skill points on, and have it still be relavant. because as it stands now, scout is useless to us. We shouldnt be penalized because, as a combat class (in my opinion, since that is all we are good for), we are forced to pick up useless skills. This should be made up for us in our skills after we recieve bounty hunter.

some people just arent as smart as others. thats technically why.

Since the game is made for dabbling, and everyone starts with the same 250 points and the same opportunity to spend them I don't really understand the obsession with the title "bounty hunter" or "pistoleer." Maybe it's because its three in the morning but we all spend 250 points somewhere. Some of us will choose...poorly. Some of us will choose....wisely. Beauty of it is if we choose poorly we can surrender skills and work on skills that will make us better.

As I've said previously, I don't care one iota about the uber l33t pvp battles and who has the best template to brag about or who has the most faction pets or any of the other stuff that goes along with "see my toys, I have better ones than you."

What I do care about is that 17,000 HAM critter bearing down on the group and your ability to do it SOME sort of damage. I'm not going to take time out of my day to figure out if you are pure bounty hunter or a pure pistoleer, although I am going to be darn happy if you have novice medic.

Play the darn game instead of worrying about who has the better toys. If you feel someone elses toys are better because of a darn title - turn titles off that way you don't have to see it.

Scout skills arent by any means unless. Even for a pure cambat class. Camping helps you heal and alows you to call on your pets, Harvesting animals is all alround money, the nav. terrian skill is more than good you move 3x as fast or more up hills, forageing buffs your stats, and traps take down the BIG game. Even if you only fight humaniods the skills still are very good to have. Hmm Ive wasted to much time on this reply.

i have 2-2-0-0 it says i have lvl 35 but i can't use my graul mauler now that it's at lvl 34 why

you have 30 not 35. 2-2-0-0 if for gruals. 3-2-0-0 is for mualers,

Tame 2 lets you tame CL35 non agro or CL25 agro.

soon you will need something like 3-3-3-2 in order to use those pets with the ch changes, right?

at 3-3-0-0 you will only have like 27 or something...

With 2/2/0/0 the sidebar in the skills sheet says that your max number of pet levels is 35. So you should be able to use a mauler but not be able to tame it. I guess the devs decided that you need to be able to tame the creature in order to use it.

Yes 2/2/0/0 has 35 tame adn 35 train, maybe they moved the GM up already and didn't change their CL yet, or they raised it's agro level. Never know.

This comes up almost daily. The number in the skill sheet is for non-aggro pets. Aggro-pets basically have a CL bonus applied. Youy can use them one box after the CL level would make you think (unless you are a wookie).

Ah, so you were able to pull him out before he was full grown. Okay, now his agro level must be above your skill. Train 3/2/0/0 and see if you can pull him out then. I would be curious on this. If you cannot train 3/2/0/0 because of skill point constraint. Sorry. But, this is exactly what the new ch chart changes is going to change anyway.

why do people feel a Master jedi should be able to take on MANY(3+) player chars at once. i think the devs should just balance jedi down with all the other classes, maybe slightly more powerfull to keep BH working but nothing Uber. Balanceing the jedi down would both make less people play them and less people want to be one. Just being a Jedi period should beworth the extra "hard" grind. This would also fix the GCW problem. /FLAME me ON
