I put this here as it seems brawler is the roort of all anyways.
The other day one of my guilds master Bounty Hunters redeemed mosy of her skills to go Fencer/Pistoleer
She said that a low level fencer had kicked her ass even with her 3 layers of Kinetic Composite Armor. She has lvl 3 1 handed combat and she wanted to show me by dueling me. I shot and shot at here and seemed to do no damage yet shen she hit me I sure saw damage. Is this the way the game is for PvP in that you have to be melee in order to win?

The only reason you are complaining is because Master BH sucks. Riflemen have no problem with taking out non-stackingmelee fighters.
"Is this the way the game is for PvP in that you have to be melee in order to win?"
No, in order to win in PvP, you have to throw poisons and shoot the mind pool at the speed cap. A Rifleman/Combat Medic laughs at me and my +190 counterattack mod. He never misses......

ROBO tell your friend she is very silly changing at this point in time when defences such as dodge wont stack in the near future. Riflemen own pvp so do combat medics so a rileman/combatmedic rules pvp all the time.

Something to note, Fencers have the Stun Baton which does Stun damage. All the kinetic composite in the world cant save her from that. Ultimately, you can PvP with whatever. Riflemen are a very popular PvP profession. Carbineers look like they might be in a much better situation tomorrow after they get their specials fixed. Switching to Fencer/Pistoleer the night before the nerf to defense stacking seems rather... ill informed?

Nhar is correct, the Fencer was using a Stun Baton, which Composite is vulnerable to. If the fencer was similarly armored, or even had most of the Dodge tree that would be why your friend had so much trouble.

if his friend has 1hand 3 in the brawler profession, then she has no cert to use the stun baton.
but no, if i can stay more than 20m from a melee profession, i can kite them to death. if they're not a defensive stacker, and they get within 16m, i can use my flamer specials on them.
but yeah, riflemen and combat medics are the flavors of the month right now for pvp.

Well how can a rifleman win in PvP when they are best at long range. Wouldn't a Melee fighter just close on them? Surely the riflemans aim has to be crappy running and shooting behind themselves with a big T21 rifle?

I was taking out melee stackers with the master marksmen I got just trying to find my silent holo. Just kite the crap out of them. use the carbine to dizzy and stun, full auto single I think, then supression fire. then switch to jawa ion when you are 40 away. Dont run randomly, try to get them to chase you to open groud with no obsticals. Also, try to run straight away from them. I was a melee character for 90% of game, you can close on kiters by aiming your run a little in front of them, but if they run straight away when possible it is nearly impossible. Also as a melee, or ranged guy, I would use cover, a tree, or a column when the fight was close range. For ranged I used the cover so I wouldn't get lunged, then I burst ran off. For melee I would use it to set off burst run and close the last 10 m so I could start lunging. But as a ranged guy with master marksmen alone, if you stay 40m out... it is only a matter of time before your jawa takes them out. Heck, don't bh get a kd move? why are these fighters not dizzy kd? stay outside 20m, less important with next patch.

Well theres only really 2 ways someone who said they only have One-HandedIII could beat a BH. They lied. Or they were using some insane loot weapons.

There is no insane loot 1handed weapons out there only acklay bone stun batons and at that lvl you cant use them. And if you dont atleast have 1suit of stun layer comp armor your a moron. Also riflemen can do stun damage as well.

There are loot weapons for every weapon class, some you just don't hear about as often. Tuskens can drop above average/exceptional/legendary Gaderiffi Batons to my knowledge. I saw one with some pretty bizzare stats before publish 6.

3rd way: The BH has no idea whatsoever how to play their class and think just because they have the title they think they should kill everyone. Never been a BH (only melee or artisan) but if I remember rightly eye shot is quite phenomenal on melee (all?) classes, especially when used with kiting.
