OK, as we all know, this weekend on TC there are "Blue Frog" character builders...

so I log on and build a Master Pikeman/Master Rifleman/Scout Explorer/TKA Meditate since I've wanted to try something other than the Master Ranger/Master Rifleman I play on Intrepid.

I went out to Fort Tusken and cleared the place, went to Dath and solo'd an Ancient Bull Rancor along with a few SMC Dragoons and countless Escaped NS slaves. Rarely used Rifleman, mostly Pikeman skills.

Now onto my question..

I was fully buffed and armored in composite and after about 2-3/4 hrs I had a BF of 250!

Since I mostly play a Ranged Character, I was wondering if it was normal to incur so much BF during a buff session?

Yes, all melee's tend to rack up the BF much, much faster than ranged. When in the cantina, loog for a full group of musicians and listen to them, it will clear up that BF very, very fast.

While all melee certainly get a lot more BF than ranged classes, pikemen tend to get more BF than the other melee classes. It's largely because you can get wounds and BF even on a successful block, but not with dodges or counterattacks.
