Ok, I'm sure it's been discussed here (but it's early in the am and I'm way to lazy to look) , any advantages to a smuggler/bh? I've been a smuggler for about a year and half with Master pistoleer and commando but I'm thinking it's time for a change. Can I slice a BH terminal for higher payouts? (lol, I've always wondered about that. Instead of 30k missions could I be running 45k ones?) Or should I go for a conventional bh/pistoleer/cm combo? I tried BH once a long time ago when shuttles and starport waiting times were 10 minutes each and gave upafter I hit investigation 4. From what I hear it's an easy grind now and I've maxed out my pistoleer and combat xp so I'm hoping to grind most of it this weekend. Anyway, any info would be great.
Thanks

Try building a template with Smuggler 4xxx. It's all you need. You get concussion shot which is a 20 sec daze, and imp panic shot which is 25 sec minor daze. Also Last ditch and faction buying. If you KD before you use imp panic shot they will not be able to recover and run away, otherwise imp panic shot stops all action yet does notinhibit movement. You have plenty of SP to do something likeMBH, Smuggler 4xxx,Medic xx4xand Pistoleer x4x4.Or you could replace Pistoleer with Rifle 4xxx. If you really want CM 4xxx you could do MBH, Smuggler 4xxx, Pistoleer x2xx. Damaging them does break the mes but they can't run away or heal while under that state, save imp panic shot, and you KD to fix that.

Interesting... very interesting ideas and tips. Thanks! I'm hoping to finish Investigation 3 today so I only have to worry about 4 tomorrow. It's been going great, most of my missions have ended up being real close to shuttleports/starports and I seem to be flying through them. (that's compared to when I did it before and had to wait 10 minutes for shuttles, what a difference!)

It's not a jedi killing template (I'm sure you could, just very hard to do) but it does well against NPC marks. I've killed 37k bosses fast enough that I didn't have to heal once... and I've watched level 80 BH / CM templates get owned over and over by them. Buy a med / combat droid, and you'll have all the healing you need for NPC's...even if you only get novice medic. You can PvE with just about anything if you know your template and use it right.

Ya that's the one thing I think I might need is healing and being a Smuggler/BH doesn't allow room for that. Thanks for the info though.
