Bounty Hunter Archive
Thread: The crafty bounty hunter is better than the powerful one.
With some luck, maybe some of em will get too confortable when they see me after doing that enough times and them /duel ing me and seeing im not after them. Anything I can do to get them to lower their guard to me Ill do it.
What I think is funny is when I do decide to walk right up and 'fight fair'. The preening and crooning of these cocky Jedi is ridiculous at times. They don't even realize it's a mercy kill. They just congratulate themselves and bask in their little syncophant's unworthy praise. I guess what's even funnier is when I do win these fights on their terms. My template isn't uber and I'm not changing to the MCM templates at all. I don't need them. I just have to wait for them to screw up, and they will. They've already got on the terms so half of my job is done then, another screw up and they're mine. That's all I need, that's all you need. It's about time BH's stop being cannon fodder for these guys. Get in the game and play smart. Go get 'em!

I killed 3master defs this weekend how? this is how:
1st one: Had problem with computer, was at Nym's stronghold reconnecting, got him when LD
2nd one: Was hunting NS's on Dath, saw I was after him with /duel butplayed allong and grouped with me, when he had a ranger and a rancor on him I attacked, he had been waiting for that but didnt expect one thing: when in group a new bug makes it so jedi cant attack the BH
3rd one: was dueling and I was waiting for him to have his force nice and low when suddenly a player comes and attacks him, this guy is overt so I attack him too so he thinks I am killing him for 'factional' reasons, being low on force from duel he first goes after the other guy, didnt even get him and I killed him 
4th one: grouped with him, too bad for me as soon as I attack he /disbanded and owned by @$$
Crafty or lucky, your choice but true,power is useless most of the time
PS: Im MBH Master Pistoleer and 4000 CM
i still havent cappd a jedi. whenever i find a mark theyre usually stanfding around doing nothing or hiding in a hosue
and i dont know how you can be crafty when they all have radar set to1024 lookig for the "bluedot"

I get most of my kills by hitting the Jedi at the right time. Yeah I can go toe to toe with some jedi depending on their saber and I've done it many times. I've beaten Master Defenders as a Pistoleer and had the hour+ fights. BUT I feel that the true goal of the bounty hunter should be to catch the jedi off guard.
My new favorite tactic is to catch them in pvp. I feel no sorrow for a Jedi that teams up with about a dozen other Jedi (sometimes these jedi even wait around cloaked) and basically gank anyone that even dares go overt. So when this Jedi is wailing on another poor sap I jump in and usually get the kill. I've taken many Jedi that would otherwise normally cloak and run using this method and it's downright satisfying.
Opinions?
If your mark shoots back, you haven't done your job correctly ... go for the quick and smart kill

Sure if you go hunting em in the wild when they are grinding....They are going to spot you...but they have to go back to town to get more missions eventually... This is a Pre-cu hit I executed one of my few Jedi kills...
My mark was a Jedi who hunted out of a town on Dantoonine. I used the town quite often since there was a little know buff hut and would often see this guy coming and going... I never interacted with him or anything. One day I picked up his mission and thought I wonder. So I hung around the town and sure enough he was running missions. I stood in the mall and just tabbed when I saw a blue dot..
Now the vendor I was stood by happened to bea droid vendor so I picked up an R3 bomb droid named it etc grouped with it and set it down near the mission term with the droid targeted and waited...Mister Jedi wanders up sees the droid and presumes that someone is solo grouping he starts browsing the mission term and I start the det sequence on the droid and walk outside past the jedi and toward the spaceport....Having targeted him....
Droid goes bang and I start spamming bodyshot1, 2and torsoshot for the stackable bleed since he was saberblocking everything I was throwing at him. he was incapped in about 5 seconds flat and I was about 175k richer once I had payed for the droid...
