One.
AB Slicing DOES NOT reduce the numbe of times that AB is applied... but rather the increased damage it does...
Two.
Have you tried this in actual combat?
Lastly what is your accuracy?
Whenever I take on MDEF... they cant necessarily beat me... but I miss an awful lot or it is blocked... usually ends up in a draw...

Granted there are tactics involved...you must have an amazing lightsaber... my guess is one of the Pre CU's? fortunately not many of those around LOL... too bad your not on my server..would love to test it out vs you... you seem...godlike... compared to alot of jedi I have fought. And your Master defender/MLS and Healer 4xxx? And the simple solution in the times you can AB me would be to KD and snare to get out of your range... with the carbine I have my average hit is about 500 Vs a full template master defender (with damage PUP of course, without its around 440) if I cycle between legshot and Adv crit... modded speed is 1.14, I can keep you healing you wont be hitting me anyway regardless... I would like some opinions from other bounty hunters as well here.. a couple I ahve talked to on my server support staying still and tanking ...others say runnign around is best... so far ive tried both and have had better luck if I stand still...I dont miss nearly as much and seem to hit harder over all... I am hoping for some feedback from bounty hunters... also what is the cap on total defense? And... also... how many jedi actually have their defense capped out?? if your not MDEF but have the Aura line... my calculations is your gonna be about equal to me defense wise... Ive noted that most jedi dont seem to be bothering with MDEF as much... so granted tanking a MDEF may not be a good strategy... but any other combo seems pretty sound from waht Ive been able to determine from tests... any BH's out there that have tried this approach? How successful were you? I will be running some more tests over the next week and will post my results here as well.. Ive lined up 5 or 6 jedi that are willing to help me try this in duels... One other note... in the tests Ive done vs other ranged and melee templates (Non Jedi)even the uberDoc/TK/Swords or Pikes template, ive come out on top every time.... Especially Vs other BH... Ive noticed BH's dont seem to be using Duelist at all...Message Edited by ValinDalsace on 10-03-2005 09:40 AM
My saber is far from godlike. its 500something - 637 dmg better then a lot of Post CU sabers. I have only Modded Clothes for Terrain Neg and Defense no CAs.
My template is MDEF/MLS 3xxx Healer xxx2 Enhancer. I'm not the best PvPer on bloodfin by far. Its highly doubtful you can run me out of force or mind. I channel during the fight and use ruby and stims to offset healing. I do also carry a Holocron on me but never have used it. Channel keeps me pretty much good force wise and infusion does most of the healing.
Force Wave hurts kiting. Saber throw does dmg when a BH is not in Melee range. If I'm anywhere near an enclosed public area (Bank in Theed) I'll take the fight there to prevent kiting.
My food set is:
Pikatta Pie, Vegeparsine, Ruby biel, Synthsteak, Blod Candy, Spice tea, Bofa treat,
Booster Blue, Won WOn, Mando Wine, Crispic, Corellian Ale.
I never use Valor because I never have to in a BH encounter.
It may work against non defenders it may not. I think it will be far more skill dependant on both sides.
A BH that is not using Duelist stance deserves to lose. how can you not use something that gives + 250 defense.
I have done further tests... about 70% of the time I do better standing there and taking whatever the jedi dishes out... against certain jedi... Im talking the ones that PVP for a living... traditional tactics work alot better. These jedi seem to have near perfect sabers and dish out alot more damage than your typical jedi. Fighting Ranged classes... I take virtually no damage anymore. What i do take, I can easily heal with CM 4000 and my healing efficiency. Fighting melee classes, I can stand toe to toe If I want to, although for Mdocs, its best I kite a little too, but no longer do I need to fear getting stuck fighting toe to toe. if I get Kded or whatever... like jedi very few of the "uber" template melee people have the necesary damageoutput to put me down anymore, howeverthey can be dangerous if you arent paying attention 
I use the /addalarmin duelist macro while kiting so I pause for 3 seconds to regenerate duelist on the run. Duelist is probably the most important BH skill we have. I do believe that it should be moved more in line with Aura however...I can work with what we have. The only jedi that gave me problems were rebel jedi on my server that sit in Bushido outpost daily..for hours fighting wave after wave of imperial attacks. Of course these guys are the most hardcore jedi on the server and It was probably a dumb Idea to go test things out on them but I wanted to know the limits of my new equipment and tactics. So in conclusion, it seems that if the mark you are fighting does average or low damage, stand there take what little he/she dishes out and duke it out. If you notice your health going down 1/3 per hit... run like hell and kite they have a perfect saber or are hacking
