Learn your template, and more important, learn your enemies template.. If you know you cant beat them,you have forcerun2..u get snared and die

And if you get in a pinch with the above suggestions, Force Wave to snare and then Force Run outta there if you can.
For me, the best defense against a BH attack is never getting into one. I Stasis and run (Master Enhancer).
There's no reward to killing a BH, so I don't bother fighting them usually.

If you'd like to survive in pvp and pve, try 3402 enh, 4040def. This gives you some great innate defenses if you're surprised, and force armor 2 which is a huge benefit for when you're ready. Macro's have saved my life every single time. My channel force macro is
/channelforce
/pause 50
/macro channel
This works realy well for me. If you find yourself running the force down, change to pause 30. Use it in conjunction with some vagnerian canape and some breath of heaven and you will definately stand a chance, and wont even notice the drop in force. The last 3 BH fights, including one that lasted well over half an hour, I had full force the entire time. Granted, I'm still new to pvp, so I probably could have done better, but learning is the important thing. Also, making a macro that just says /forceheal self and tying that to my zero key on my num pad. This makes it easily and quickly accessible if i'm in trouble.
Then, when you get ina fight, use /follow and /forcesuppression to snare them. Knock them down as often as possible. If you get in trouble with lag or with them running away, use saber throw as your auto attack, and just wait for them to get knocked down. Then alternate leg hit, head hit and body hit.
And the most important advice i can give you, is practice. I've been practicing with people in my guild alot lately, and they have definately prepared me for hte last few encounters i've had with BHers.
Amen brother. I had one come after me. I evaded. He sent me tells asking me if i was going to face him, I said no. What is the point? I have everything to loose and nothing to gain. If there was no xp loss, I would fight anyone who wanted to. But until that happens, I wont. Oh.. and calling me chicken is not going to persuade me to fight either. LOL. I love that one.

Stop grinding where you get visibility. You aren't a regular profession now. Be glad you don't have group tefs anymore where 20 people could come after you and cause you to loose one of your 3 lives.
But wait. If those were the stakes I'm sure you would make sure no one saw you and that you stayed off the terms...Could be a good thing. /shrug

wow...a few weeks?
indeed.........its OUTRAGEOUS............i hope SOE will sop this
WHAT?!! NO VALOR!!!! I can't believe no one here is tellingyou to get xxx4 def and pick up valor. If anything I would at least have xx44 def...myself, 3044. I too was having difficulty with BH until I discovered VALOR. I found Improved Force Armor to be too much of a drain on my force pool. Eat crispic, pikatta pie, vegasparsine, synthsteak. Find a good brandy for your Mind (spiced tea for mind is good also)& Action and pop Booster Blue. Learn to use stims & ruby bliel. Also eating some Vayerbok will give you another +25 to block and reduce the shots that hit you. I think of it like this...each shot miss is one less heal I have to do.

Hi everyone,
I unlocked jedi 3 weeks ago after playing the game for just over a year and a half. I felt a great sense of acheivement and began grinding imediately, after 2 weeks of solid grinding I acheived full template( def 4340, Mls, Enh 4002, Heal 4000). Now i find my game has changed dramatically.
In the last week i have been killed4 times and 1 drawby BH's which i feel i am either doing some thing wrong or need more experience.
Details of my BH experiences to date:
- 1st- MBH/CM, being my first BH fight i was nervous, but it introduced me to my new life as ajedi
- 2nd - MBH/Rifles, with this fight i tried to give my best with the little experience i had, i was forced to use a health crystal and holo, after a lengthy battle we decided on a draw
- 3rd - MBH/ Rifes(i think), while recieving a inspiration buff a BH ran into the cantina with droid where we battled for a while, i actually felt i was doing well, i had destroyed a couple of droids and had the BH on low health a few times when suddenly the BH from my 2nd encounter ran in and was also attacking me, only thing i could do was run, but the enevitable happened they caught me - dead
- 4th - MBH/Rifles Well.... this was a little more interesting, while waiting for a shuttle i was suddenly attacked, i had time to make 1 heal, then i was dead. i was shocked. when i reviewed my combat log the BH had hit me 6 times and missed 2 hits in the same time it had taken me to make 1 heal, the Bh claimed he was on speed buffs and pups, but i have never seen fire come so quickly
- 5th - lol, i can't give any info on this encounter as i wasn't there, i had logged out in a starport, only to find when i was already in the cloner, no record on combat log, just loss of xp
I know one way to counter this is to reduce visability, but i then find there is not much content in the game for me. I look forward to BH encounters as its part of the progession of my game.
I would greatly apprieciate any constructive advice or suggestions
Thanks
Eulo Aoweg
