Hi im a wookie who recently got CH and sofar got management I.
I was wondering if anyone here could answer a few noob question.
Which creatures/npc should u fight when using a Grand Wrix?
And is there any difference using it half grown or fully grown as far as xp goes?
Also i saw those Giant carrion spats, are they good as pets?
I know they got some resists and they hurt pretty hard and are pretty fast
Also is it worth getting empathy I before management III?
Any help and tips is welcomed 
Still finding CH a bit hard, atleast gaining ch xp
I cant seem to get much xp, also im kinda not having enough space for pets. I cant get myself to getting rid of any 
their so cute...

Ok just finished up investigation 3 last night and I am sort of pumped to begin jedi missions, note this is not from a desire to grief anyone its just that NPC marks are about as much fun as watching paint dry,I am also 4,4,4 in BH weapons and carbineer 0,3,04.
Now my current tactic that I have been working on is a near max range engagement with my low HAM laser carbine with fullauto single2 to stick states, dizzy, stun blind. With my speed I can drop fullauto single 2 every second within a few hits I land both a stun and a dizzy. I then fire off chargeshot2 until I dump my target on its head. Once my target is doing the flopping flounder I nail em with crippleshot. Now if there are multiple targets switch out fullauto single 2 for fullauto area 2.
Now these tactics work fine and dandy on NPC's but the AI is dumber than my dog. So this is where I am looking for help at. I can go to battle with a full set of 2500+ doc buffs, full entertainer buffs, two 400 brandies, canape, synthsteak, snowcake (plus accuracy is huge imho) and a decent set of armor ~70% resists, like most BH im broke no 90% for me. I have a mount to pull out incase my mark chooses to run for water and I understand my first shot should be to their vehicle making the fight a lock. I carry a full assortment of carbines but since AP doesnt work against PC's should I stick with my enchanced E-11 and drop the laser for the higher base damage?

Oh and one random thought since in the upcoming publish they are claiming they have fixed the vehicle repair bug blasting a jedi's ride is gonna start getting annoying to them since you cant repair a disabled vehicle.

I have not reached invest 3 yet (a little more than halfway to go!), but I have helped bounty hunters with jedi missions. This is generally how we do it:
dizzy/kd
LLC lightningSingle2
dizzy/kd when needed
Sometimes I'll pull out a scatter and start torso shots (hey, I'm ruthless) and eye shots. I'm thinking of getting a spraystick and putting on mind bleeds as well.

The best tactic is don't fight in PvP it's a harsh truth that the BH class is the weakest class in the game. (sp vs. abilites+dmg)

IsamuYF-19I came over to BH from commando so I understand PVP weakness. Flamethrower vs anyone in composit armor was a joke. Only way the flamethrower kills a buffed armored opponent is if they are LD or AFK . At least as a BH I can put state effects on people.

I'm not trying to ruin the experience for you I guess i'm just saying do go looking for fights because we are lacking in the offensive power to kill a target. I've sprayshot-fireKD someone and still couldn't kill them after they fell down many times. We've lost a lot of power and it hurts to see that your not combat effective as a solo unit.

ok so i got my first MCM/BH today, I'm not fully templated so far im 3343 ls/3302 enhancer/0340 def/3000 healer, fought him for probably 20min, i could get him low as 1/4 life and then he'd heal most of it, well no problem about that I know it's how it is, now im running low on force so I root him run behind a wall sit down and regen force for a bit, so he starts calling me a coward and a chicken ect.
I tell him im just regening force and if he wants my exp/money he's gonna have to work hella hard to get it, so this goes on for another 30min, eventually he leaves all in a huff, and I laugh at him. My question is, is what i was doing tactics or the cowards away out? i never got further then about 100m from the guy doing this /shrug

dont sweat it that BH was bieng an uber-nub im glad you laughed at him
EDIT remember retreat is a tactic somtimes running is the best option... so dont feel bad when you know that that is the only way to save your xp
all the greatest generals have faced defeat all have done a tactical retreat you wont win every battle... and if your in a battle where you cant win saving your xp is your top priority

yeah i thought so, funny thing is when they think stopping me grinding is good, I find pissing off BH's a more fun pass time then just grinding anyway.
