Force Sensitive Archive

if all you want your template for is grinding FS xp then i would have to agree with your first choice of BH (MBH at that). i would forget about the persuasion line you unlocked because once you get past FS persuasion is useless anyway and it will also take too long to fill up with xp. as well as doing MBH i would master one of the marksman profs (carbines/rifles/pistols) and that shouldnt leave you with too many skill points, maybe enough for 1 more branch in marksman itself.

in conclusion: MBH and a ranged mastery are the way to go for FS grinding

Thanks for the quick reply

I guess MBH it is then. I don't suppose there's a way to get multiple respecs though?

if you've just returned then you should have 3 weeks of respecs (i think that all pre CU toons get up to 3 weeks of respecs unless they prematurely end the respec period). once you finish the respec period you then have one "token respec" left to use as you wish but once thats gone thats it. i would suggest keeping the token for jedi tho

Ahh... I see.

Well then, let the grind begin! (again)

Thanks for the help Paulo.

I found that my template is decent for XP.

Master Bounty Hunter, Master Carbineer and Combat Medic 4/0/0/0.

With this template, I can max out at 900K Combat XP and 1.2 mil Carbines XP, and 900K for Pistols and Rifles.

I can also earn Medical XP for Senses FS XP. Of course, you can swap out Carbines for either Pistols of Rifles.

My feeling is yes without another master ranged prof along with MBH your effectiveness will be severely decreased. But I myself went with the Master Rifleman/ Master Doc template to grind through the village. I intended to get Luck tree and the Med xp was essential. This template worked very well for me and I have had the xp before the unlock for 5 of the 6 branches I wanted to fill. I suppose I would go with whatever temp sounds the funnest to play as long as it is CL 80 and youll do fine. Just my two credits.

I'm not even sure cl80 is essential tbh. I did mine as Master Tailor/Master Pistols/BH xx4x, cl60 and it was fine. The new xp system means you dont have to do all the damage like before to get good xp. On saying that, I spent a few hunts getting aggro off of Jedi, Rifleman and many cl80's as my pistol is pretty good, but only 1 hit is actually required for full xp. Just pull your weight in the group would be my advice.

The only way cl80 might help is that some uneducated ppl start "cl80 only hunt groups" as they assume everyone else is useless at combat, which is really not true. But just do the profs you enjoy, it's a long ride without double xp so better to enjoy 6-7 weeks than hate 3-4 weeks imo.. seeing that 6 phases will take well over that anyway, why rush and hate it?

Good luck whichever you choose, it's a nice feeling to have it all behind you!

If you went MBH and another ranged profession you would have more available skill points that you can use to enhance your ranged template. Personally I was Master Carbineer / Master Bounty Hunter and 3003 Pistols. Pistols added more general ranged speed and improved stopping shot which is an excellent skill to have.

As you progress you might like to buy some FS skills rather than bank XP so you have the skill boxes in Pistols to play with and you wont dropa combat level.

I did just fine with MBH/Master Combat Medic, xp-wise. Plus the CM means you have more group offers than you know what to do with. On top of that, it actually seems STRONGER than the dual-ranged setup due to the two main dots and all the debuffs (including a 2-minute snare) that you can put on things. And as an MCM, you have ridiculous staying power.
