...... Ok just so the community know when most BH's come for me I can handle myself and they go down pretty quickly.


When a CM/Bh comes for me I struggle a little bit more and if the CM/BH really knows what he is doing when I try and stand toe to toe with him, I usually die. My template at the moment is 0444sabers, Mdefender, 3002Enh, 4000Healer. You probably are all thinking, oh you just dont know how to play your template. But nearly every other Bh that comes for me, he drops within around a minute.


After falling to CM/Bh's in the past I decided to change my tactic a little bit in order to defeat them. When this BH arrived for me yesterday (Ill use Mr. X as his name) I was just going about my business in my Guild's city. Flew up on his bike hopped off, and started firing at me. So I fought him for around 3 minutes standing toe to toe, but I could see this was not going well and my mind was dropping rappidly.... so i root him and run off a little bit. Kneeled to get my mind up a little bit.


Unknown to me at the time, Mr.X hopped on his bike and went off in pursuit of me. As I saw him coming towards me I targeted his bike and boom, no more bike. Mr. X began to do the same thing again and then it came to me.... If he wants me, he is going to have to do it on my terms not his...


So I snare him and run off again, regening my mind, he finally manages to catch up with me so I throw another root on him and run off. (Now I am only running off around my city.... not outside its borders so im not actually that far away from him).


Out comes another bike and he flies up to me.... Boom there goes bike number 2. I did the same tactic for around 30 minutes... I had all the time in the world. Mr.X on the other hand did not, due to how long his buffs where going to last


Mr.X lost around 8 bikes trying to take me out....... I even managed to make him run around my guild hall about 4 times trying to chase me. Let just say most of my guild where laughing on TS.


I know it was evil to do this to him, and during the fight I was getting not overly pleasent tells "Fight me you coward", "your a pathetic Jedi", "Quit freaking running away", "Your afraid arn't you, you know I will beat you" to name just a few...


Now tell me this, Do you see anything wrong with what I did to defeat the BH? The fight lasted for about 25 minutes with me just rooting/snaring and running until his buffs where gone...My guild where laughing on TS at the state of the Bh trying to get me.... and how I was just stalling for time to let his buffs wear off. Im sure he wasn't best pleased that he lost 8 bikes trying to pick up my bounty. But when that much xpcould be lost(Im changing template so it does mean something to me, even though im finished my grind long ago), we should do everything in our power and use tactics in order to win.....


What does the rest of the community think?

Running round your guild hall, if only you had the benny hill theme tune on at the same time!


But yep sounds good to me, he initiated the attack ,he was dumb enough to keep swoopin up to you so BOOM is what he should expect.


You waiting for his buffs to run out is you being intelligent and yep you can set the terms of the fight so good on ya!

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, 'How can we do this and not make another EQ?' We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen." - Julio Torres

All is fair in love and war! If it is in the game they will use it, we have the right to use anything at our disposal as well.

Hahaha! Nice. This is in no way wrong. It's no different thant the CM who forgets to re-apply debuffs. It's a risk that was taken and by all means make 'm eat it.

Never show mercy to the enemy, and many BHs are have definitely made themselves our enemies.

There are only two BHs I will not kill when I incap them, they have become my friends and I know that once I win they will stop, if I have to run, (one of them is very very good, very well equipped, very rich) they will drop pursuit, but they know I will always give them a good fight.

Everyone else, bah, it's not a duel, it's a battle for survival, namely mine. If they're stupid enough to bust out a swoop they can know I'm going to blow it away.

that's awesome. but swoops are cheap. Thee best boom mission I been on with my main was camping a jedi's house on Ahazi. am a rifleman so was in /cover position. This was several patches before the announced AV21 permadeath patch. Anyhoo, was camping his house and finally he moves out. Pulls out his million dollar ride and KABOOM !!! The hate tells I received soon after was pure heaven.

Jedi waiting for BH buffs to run out = BH waiting for Jedi to be incapped by mob

I love the tactic, WELL DONE!
