I'd imagine that this topic has been brought up before but I figured I'd like to hear what the BH community thought of this idea. I was a MCH / BH for awhile then surrendered it all with dreams of becoming a Master Pikeman. I miss the BH quite a bit. I loved the hunt, even though it took forever but the melee weaponsjust seemed more interesting to me than the ranged weapons.
Anyhow, my question is this: Why can't BH's choose between master brawler or master marksman and master scout? Give BH's a couple profession-specific melee weapons similar to scatter/llc. Well, just wondered what you all thought of this. I see it as balanced since BH's are supposedly masters of weapons. They should have the option to go melee imo.
Feel free to rip me up 
. It's just a thought I had.

I believe the master brawler route was a possible way to do BH back in beta or pre-beta, but was thrown out. Having multiple paths to an elite prof would be a nice idea for BH and other profs, but I do not see the devs pulling it off.

I've been working on Fencer for a melee BH template but I've been wondering if it is any good against Jedi? Master Fencer/BH 4-0-0-4 is what I wasthinking. Though, wouldMaster SM or Master TK be more efficient against a Jedi instead?
Welcome any thoughts.

I have put down a few jedi with BH4440/Mfencer. I have a slew of AA/SEA to help out my ranged skills. It is very effective in jedi hunts, pvp, pve, you have alot of different tactics at youre finger tips.

I think that any melee profession works...Jedi cant block them. Personally, that very reason would make me go swordsman.

tk has better toughness and is able to attack any given pool. It also has a nice kd dizzy and a stun.
fencer has the best rate at avoiding getting hit and the bleeds stack with the pistol ones. Also the scatter hits are like fast blast and fanshot hitting all 3 pools.
sword has the longest cob and counterattack says you will land the next blow after a sucesfull ca, but I have had them dodged blocked and evaded.
my meanest template was tkm, msword, mbrawler and fencer 3440. I always used a sword and never used tk...
I think any of them are good, except maybe polearm (sorry pike guys, no offence).

Back when jedi tef was in place, I was on my female avatar, a innocent short lil weaponsmith / swordsman in the geo caves with the title "expert weaponsmith" up. It was clear I was holding down the mercenary spawn looking for items to help craft weapons with, when two jedi walk in. They ask if I mind if they join me, I say ok, if I can have the weaponsmith related loot. They laugh and start to kill and loot the groups of mercanaries faster than I could, so I did what any good imperial would do. I turned my powerhammer on them and bashed em good. It's a little known fact thattwo handhit 3 also is a very effective dizzy. With that, head hit 3, warcry intimidate and lunge1 I was able to kill one of the jedi, his Teras Kasi friend (who was a stereotypical jedi groupie "wow I wish I was a jedi"), and sent the second jedi force running out the entrance with a few enhanced kwis on his tail as sovieniers (I don't know if you've ever ran from those, but they follow you FOREVER). Instead of finishing him I casually went back to my hunt for sword and reinforcement core schematics. They never came back.
Long story short, swordsman can be very effective vs a jedi. Just imagine If I was using a scythe (speedcapped and better acuracy).

I would suggest rifleman/BH, TKM/BH's are everywhere and I would have to say its the most recent FOTM. So yes TKM/BH is good and if you want to do it you will most likely be successful. Just watch out for the jedi groups.

I would say TKM BH. Rifleman Bh doesnt seem so smart because you dont get anything in BH for it, but could work. pistoleer is good but not melee. Fencer you dont have to many good Kds as TK and Swordsman is ok
