Seems like we are now the profession which requires the most skill points to master...................

We are going to remove the Trapping, Hunting, and Survival Scout lines from the Bounty Hunter prerequisites.


This should give you and additional 48 skill points to add to the 33 you had left over for a total of 81 additional point to spend as you please.


This is something that we have been considering for a long time, and wanted to do as part of the CB, but we need you to be as effective as possible against Jedi as soon as possible. This is a start.


Your other issues are known, and in varying stages of development, but we want you to know that things are going to get better. Hopefully rapidly.


This change will be hitting Test Center tomorrow afternoon, and should be Live by Friday.

Drat. 5 minutes too slow. I wanted to break the news (with the same implications of course).


Anyway, for those interested (because I've presonallygrown skeptical myself of "the devs said" posts when I can't see the post in question), the post in question is:





Edit: And Caijian, I would disagree with your statement. BH's didn't need more punch against Jedi, they needed more punch, period. After using 200+ SP, BHs were remarkably less effective than they needed to be... Then again, I could say a similar statement of commandos, and I hope they get some attention soon.


And for that matter, the pikemen, and riflemen, and... wait a second, that's the point of the combat revamp right?

I just realized something rather nasty:


Master medic

Master marksman

4404 combat medic (or even a 4004 CM)

4000 scout

xxxx Bounty hunter.


I think there might be an influx of "I'm dabbling in Combat Medic" questions, and that a new FotM might spring up soon...


I hope the devs know what they are doing with the SP changes...

For the record, this brings BH down to the same skill point expenditure level that CM and Commando have been at all along.


So now all three are tied.


Doesn't mean I won't try and get whatever I can out of this, even if it's simply a promise to look into it post-JTL.

Actually with this change MBH now costs the same amount of points that MCM and MComm do.


One tree of a Basic profession = 29 points

Mastering one Basic profession = 77 points

Mastering an Elite profession = 63 points


Personally I wouldn't mind if they changed CM to only require Medic 4440 and Marksman 0004. Medic Crafting is pretty much useless to us anyway since we need to buy better components from Doctors for use in our stims. Then again maybe I'm just a selfish **edit** who would like to Master his melee profession.

Jedi Padawan vs my Fencer/Doc and psg = Fencer/Doc with "the win." The much needed lightsaber damage addition gave them a good boost but currently most Jedi only have block as their defense. Get a KD/dizzy on them and they go down as fast as anyone else. When they actually get high enough and obtain their nice defensive robes that might be a little different. But do you realize how much work you have to put in just to get to Padawan?


Knight and higher are supposed to be really tough. Think about it though, Jango couldn't take Obi-won, got his head removed by Mace (knight and master) Do you really think he could survive solo against someone who's supposed to be at the level of Yoda?


Besides, come the revamp and the MIND vulnerability issue has been resolved many non-Master CM's are going to either be dropping it or going full master. Store bought MIND poisons wont be anywhere as powerful in the hands of a dabbler as they currently are.


p.s.- I...hate...dabblers....
