Thread: Melee Bounty Hunter
Well, Bounty Hunters in Star Wars are typically people who use guns.
Also, having melee skills in BH would be a waste to most people, and would probably cause more people to dabble in other professions i guess... it would make Master BH less desirable, possibly useless.
But there's still nothing stopping you to be a melee BH, if that's what you really want to be.
(sorry to post so many times lol)
Maybe the devs should make a Brawler tree as a BH pre-requisite instead of the Scout tree... that could work.

I am proposing something that would prevent this, like a pre-requisite for BH be ranged support in marksmen OR unarmed in brawler, still require scout, but once in BH either have melee BH and ranged BH professions OR make one BH have specials and mods that work for both. Something like what is currently LLC III gives you torsoshot, which is useful to ranged AND melee. If you take the "shot" out of all of them they are moves that could work for melee and where you get ranged speed and accuracy this gives youmelee speed and accuracy mods also. I would go for MBH if this was the case.

I dont mind the scout pre-requisite, I just wish we didnt have to waste sp on the marksmen profession.

Melee BH cannot be done very wellin the current system, and I wouldn't expect a change anytime. I've tried it, and now I'm regrinding rifles and CM again. I couldn't even get CL 80.
I know and this saddens me...for the first time I am thinking of just dropping BH and going to a melee stacker template.
I totally agree ... I have been toying with the idea os becomeing a melee BH. But basically it makes me quite ineffective. Personaaly if the devs just made the first line of brawler the requrement instead of scouting and changed nothing else I would do it but that is nearly 30 sp that are waisted not counting he marksman sp's.
The only reason I want to at least try BH is becase I have hitthe jedi forums and found them complaining that no one hunts them at high levels and that is one thing i would be perfectly willing to do even if i die. But i would not even be a challenge to them at this point.

That is what I aspire to do for the most part, I go after anyone who will stand around in any major city looking for PvP. Or just anything above 180k, so far I havent been that succesful, ALTHOUGH I have shown that I can last a long time, even at CL 69 and usually I die because I miss a heal or CoB doesnt stick or some other mistake that I will learn to not miss in the future, I feel confident that I will be able to turn it into a formidable template once I work it out.
