I was BH before unlocking jedi to start the next phase of the jedi grind, paddie runs from BH. If they want to push 1 vs 1 jedi vs bh battles and make it so the mbh can only hunt jedi (or did i misread that?) then BH should get a viable weapon for countering the LS with the variable crystal inserts. why not give them a nade launcher or something in which they can put a variety of nade types into for different status effects? means they would have to pre-plan their attack before hand, but might level the field out a bit more in knight vs BH battles and make the BH profession a bit more unique. Put the component ratio similar to what the component drop ratio is for crystals/pearls.

I agree with the BH's that something needs to tell them if they are facing a knight or a desginator for a general other then knight classification. Knights should be elite missions for the BH's to get and any MBH in R/L situations would always want to know something about their mark before they took an assignment. If they are going to face knights then they might want to outfit differently then if they went after the lower level jedi. It is going to be very hard to protect the paddies from being hit more often as there are so many more paddies out there then higher ranks and if a BH goes thru all the trouble to track and the cost of droids, most will not go home empty handed. They will go home with a paddy head as a trophy. And that is what the new pub is about right? Protecting the paddies from the mass gank squads looking for easy kills for their bios?

The respectable BH's are looking for a challenge equal to their own standing. What they propose will have BH's playing Goldie Locks looking for the jedi that is just right for them. No, that is one too weak for me, or no, that one is out of my skill limit for now. All this is going to do is tick off BH's even more by them wasting time trying to find a mission that is within their capabilities depending on the template they chose for their BH. BH's will end up grinding the templates that work against knights instead of trying to build a template that allows for their own playing style as they will enver know if they get a knight or get a lower ranked jedi.

Sorry for saying things in here that are covered in other threads, but since I had this thread going anyway, I thought I might as well vent on the BH issues also. See, a Jedi who does feel for the BH's, does that make me a minority?

yes, a gun can out damage a LS, but a BH cant use force armor, or force run, or force cloak, or armor break, or force infusion, or heal wounds.
so when it comes down to it, gun>LS, but jedi>BH

Great ideas!! I love the idea of giving BH basically slotted weapons where you could add things like elemental packs for diff damage types, or things like concussion rounds to give your gun a daze effect.

If you want a daze, pick up Smuggler or CM. If you want elemental damage, pick up Commando or use a weapon you are certed for that has it.

These professions' skills are THEIRS and it defines their role. Invest the points instead of stealing their bread.
