Great reply, AgonThalia.

hehe you all relize 80% of your combat exp is gained just by gaining your other three trees right?

The Combat exp is not a "grind", Its a natural by product of grinding your weapons.

But to the original poster...

MP Smuggler 0040 TKA>MBH

MP Smuggler 0040 TKA0304 Fencer 4400>MBH (I think this template has +130 ish ranged defense and +100 vs KD hehe)

There are a ton of 220 point comboes out there that are better then an MBH, you just have to find them.

"Wear your Master Bounty Hunter tag as a badge of honour for choosing to survive the Investigations grind instead of waiting out a fix, but as far as throwing it in as part of a combat balance when your combat lines are looking pretty sweet, it's counteractive to any objectives you may have outlined for yourself"

Read my first post on this thread, I haven't thrown investigation as part of combat balance at all. The only reason I brought it up was when you made the comment regarding the combat experience grind vis a vis the investigation grind.

Hate to argue with you on this one. But try getting almost 1 million Combat XP (that's 10,000,000 weapon XP give or take).

Your investigation lined is borked but Combat XP takes a long time to add up.

Play more...on at least 4 different occassions of migrating to a new career, I have been max'ed out at 170k combat xp and 900k weapon xp (both pistol and heavy weapons so far)

On dropping MP, I brought 900k pistol xp to BH (straight to BH pistol III). On dropping BH, I just put 900k heavy weapons xp (LLC) into the flamethrower tree (straight to FT III).

Perhaps you should try actually playing your profession for a while. I was master pistoleer all of 3 days before dropping it (back around the disarm2 nerf). Now, IIRC, I was waiting on the combat xp on my last box (was really missing the 40k combat xp I had spent on BH before dropping it the first time). But 900k pistol xp for a "nearly" master pistoleer does not take long to pile up.

As a BH, I would have happily traded combat xp for BH xp at 10 to 1 ratio. Since I'm now dropping BH (again!), I can assure you that getting lots of weapon or combat xp is simply a grind. Skill points on the other hand...

Anyone who says Squad leader is a tuff profession must have never tried it. Picked it up for 4 hours of hunting on endor and got all 4 first level boxes.
