Bounty Hunter Archive

ya im not even pistoleer yet just bh ch thinking of switching templates. as long as u use a good pistol ur ok in pvp.

i got a 400 base dps swg5 its does pretty good. wondering how estimated dps might change as i become a pistoleer.

I just switched from MR to MP, havent had the chance to test it on the infected ones yet...will post once I test it out.

I am a MBH Mpistol 4000cm. It's ok. I have a fwg that has 576 dps unpuppedI beat full templates about half the time. Bounty hunting jedi in general is just plain frustrating. They've destroyed this profession.

Yup, dumped master smuggler for master pistoleer, squad leader 0003 and medic 0020 and holds up pretty well. You'll need a really fast and low SAC scatter pistol to stay alive.

LordMarr pretty much sums it up, against all the knights/finished templates I have taken on are long fights usually resulting in wearing the Jedi out, the defenses are nice especially with duelist stance running & eyeshot & intimidate & warning shot all together.

Only downside is you have to be within range to fight with a pistol, where the Jedi can easily saberthrow you, this isn't for every BH since many likes to keep their distance and deal damage with a rifle, my style is close combat- always has been and will be.

Much more viable template than it was pre-CU, I've been a MBH/MPistoleer since early August 2004 when they dropped the scout pre-req and wielded a 189-629 dmg unpuped DE-10 that claimed quite a few 200K+ marks.

I used MBH/Mpistoler for a long time. I had 4000 CM, 0004 CM, novice smuggler 0020 medic, 4000 smuggler and 0004 smuggler all with it. It is nice, it is great and works wonders in PvE. In PvP it sucks, vs jedi and none jedi if they can heal. I have a very good HCS (948 Max damage 1.78 attack speed, and 75 SAC and I use a SAC pup for 55 SAC). I would do about 200 damage to a jedi, where the jedi would hit me for 300-1000 damage. A full temp would eat you, why their range is almost your range. You can't kite them to well as if they have force run one they can keep up with you if they are snared, many jedi can snare and root now, due to the FOTM on SS with many enchancers. While in PvP you get the general PvP lag that puts jedi saber toss in range and a spam of 300 damage to you.You just can't do enough damage to the Jedi to kill them with pistoleer (unless you get Last Ditch) their armor and heals will just out do you and with the range you can't out last a GOOD jedi who knows how to PvP. I've jumped them with 50+ det power droids taht do 1.3k damage and then open with a KD/crit but the little damage that a pistol will do to the jedithey will have a heal in before you can incap them. Once Pistoleer states work right and stick/last longer pistoleer imo will be very good, in not only PvE but in PvP.

i'm a mbh/m-pistoleer...been one pretty much forever. i love it.

but - like many bh'ers, i've been tired of the jedi hunting bugs/exploits/"features" for a long time. i haven't hunted a jedi hm...it's been a while. before the CU, before the awesome Kash implementation...

i might try it again.

i got a couple pistols that will give me over 800dps with a powerup - in duels with friends, as long as i can get my root/knockdowns to stick, i do okay. i think with a jedi mission, a bombdroid would be a necessity for a pistoleer though because of the 35m range limit.
