Bounty Hunter Archive

As i respecced to MBH i know want to know what kind of armor is good for a BH.
Atm i have a comp armor from 2004(when i started playing but stopped of some resone i don't remember) because i was lucky that my character wasn't deleted from the year i almost was gone.

So what type/kind of armor should i get? any tip is appricated.

If you're hunting Jedi and are a Pistoleer/Rifleman as second prof, get max energy layered recon armor (8200 res I think is max). If you are a MCM or Carb as well, then you are limited to battle armor which is around 7000 res max for K/E. Jedi sabers are classified as energy weapons so recon w/ PSG (if/when they decide to pull a ALR) and full 75% armor break slicing is the best you can get against them.

For PVE and general PVP I'd suggest some Assault Armor (Composite, Bounty Hunter, etc.) with 7k Kinetic and 5k Energy Resists. On top of this wear a PSG with around 2k Energy resist for a combined resistance of 7k Kinetic and Energy. If you plan on hunting Jedi then the higher your Energy resistance on the Armor the better. The best armor for Energy resistance would be Recon at 8k+, followed by Battle at 7k+. Also remember to slice your Armor for Armor Break Resistance if you intend on fighting Jedi with it. Don't even consider your PSG in calculation Energy resistance versus a Jedi's lightsaber as they are useless since the LS damage is melee and bypasses PSGs alltogether.
