it isnt bad, but you can do a prof change to rifle or pistols deal more damage still keep your heals and use recon armor which has a higher energy resist (pretty much all npc's deal energy damage) and spend alot less on armor for better armor i have ubese/tantell with over 8k energy resist add a psg and your set.
I was affraid of that. And I have been dropping Rifle to get BH
Something like MBH/MR/CM4000 is better?
that is my exact temp. i find i can kill just about any npc with that, i say just about because ive had 2 35.5k dbl elites out of about 600 missions better me with that temp and my armor. had one kill me today actually
, but it is very effective against npc's. as far as jedi go, i dont hunt them very often, but i have killed a couple with that temp. just have to learn how to play it right and what works for you.
as far as rifles, if you like it go for it, pistols has a root which helps against jedi and sometimes npc's but its a matter of preference.

Well, I was looking at buying this armor. I need to know if it will be good forthe BH template I am working on.
(MBH/MD/CM4000)
RIS is fully sliced and the stats are as follows:
Stats:
Kinetic - 4766
Energy - 7060
Elemental - 5913
AB Reduction 75%
Delay Decay Effects 10%
Damage Absorb Chance 1%
I am also accepting input on template. I am not looking to hunt Jedi yet. I amlooking to do NPC's for the loot.
Well those are certainly some nice stats, but not really needed for NPCs. Guessing since it's RIS and is 7k E protection that stuff probably costs a pretty penny. With you healing ability you could easily get away with just some regular bone armor with 6k resists (or lower). I personally wouldn't want to subject a fine piece of art like that to NPCs.
Oh btw, AB reduction is very nice for Jedi fights as it's one of their most powerful attacks becuase of the state multiplier. If you really wanted to wear RIS (it does look pretty cool) look for a Delay Decay Effect so there's a higher chance you won't lose condition from a hit.

Well, thats 2 in a row for not buying this armor for NPC's. I am still debating the MD as a second profession. Everything I have heard is that I should be using Rifles, Carbines, or Pistols. Since I have already dropped most all of my Rifles for BH, I might just stick with the MBH/MD while I do my investigation line. If I run into problems, then I can always change MD to MR.
With this being said, can I buy an armor that can be certified by wither MD or MR? I dont really want to buy some for MD, and then change to MR and have to buy a new set. Is it possible to do the investigation line without armor?
I gave you guys the newbie alert earlier. And yes, I have read the how to be BH forums until I cant see straight. So please dont be frustrated with my simple questions 
As to template there is no RIGHT template... mine works for me but you may get owned every time ...it all depends on what your playstyle is...

Don't worry bout it, it's just one persons opinion. You take a poll of the 1000's of BH's across all galaxies you will get different answers.
Your template is fine.
