heh, and a carbineer? only bad thing is that BH'ers don't have a Rifle spec so <shrugs> you guys don't have to worry though, KD is being nerfed bigtime

look dude...you're completely void of any analytical ability. yes, bounty hunters are better pistol fighters than pistoleers (why this subject is even in a rifleman forum, i have no freaking clue)...however, pistoleers can make much better combat medics/image designers/architects or anything else than bounty hunters...even in the star wars movies, bounty hunters are known tobe ableto take down anybody (except jedis), one on one. like i said before, don't whine about riflemen or bounty hunters....play what you like or just don't play.

It's not BHs that I have a problem with, it's the peoplegetting oneskill tree of BHand expecting to 'own' everyone else 1v1. I'm fine with giving master BHs an advantage but NOT someone who takes just one tree of BH. There is even a post on the BH forum saying that they need to change the BH layout so it's not better to simply take one skilltree of BH and pistol/carb tree than go master BH.

As it stands someone going Master BH is going to be worse at killing than someone that goes Pistoleer/Pistol or Carbineer/Carb BH tree, whichdestroys the 'watch the films' argument.

IMO a BH should not be better than a master of a certain weapon.Instead a Master BH shouldbe able to use all 3 types weapons well. Soifthe devs thensort out the ranges it will mean that a Master BH can fight wellat any range because they can use rifle/carb/pistol instead of someone just taking the BH pistol skilltree and spaming eyeshot at 64m.

Telling someone not to play because they would like some class balance istotalbull poopoo.

"It's not BHs that I have a problem with, it's the people getting one skill tree of BH and expecting to 'own' everyone else 1v1."

Yep, its called "BH dabbling" and its pissing EVERYONE off, including the master BH's.

Simple solution to it, and i dont know why SOE isnt doing it: move eye shot and fire knockdown up to master BH. Then, make it so speed/acc bonus in BH pistol/carbine lines dont stack with the speed/acc bonuses in the main carbineer/pistoleer trees.

Simple, easy, effecient solution that makes sence. Will SOE do it? Nooo... theyd rather give a 75% damage reduction which turns BH's into Gods (with thier ability to do 10x damage per second of any other class).

Hash, the arguement you're making is that Bounty Hunters are just better then other people because of their name but whatI think what we're really arguing about is how cookie cutter the game should be. You think that if you want to be a pure combat class you must take up Bounty Hunter and all other professions like Riflemen, Teras Kasi, and Commando are meant for people who want to be hybrid Medics and Crafters. I don't think a player that takes Rifleman alone should be stronger then a Bounty Hunter but if they take the extra combat professions they should be able to equal them.

I'm starting to get sick of the BH arguments saying they cannot be anything else because they have no skill points left.

Look, Master Scout, with the traps, camps and abilities to harvest is better than some advanced profession, so its not like you cannot do anything else. You also get all the Master marksman perks, like warning shot and overcharge shot 2 and all the amazing bonuses....................

So, I'm a Master Rifleman, Master Marksman, Master Commando.

You are a Master Scout, Master BH, Master Marksman.

You are actually more diverse than I am.

Hehe Actually for all you Bounty Hunters that are trolling our boards using movie references too state your case. In the books, Han Solo escapes from Boba Fett many many times, there is also another bounty hunter who is constantly trying too kill Han Solo because of a grudge they had when they were kids (He is the guy in the White and Brown, had his head wrapped in a towel, name Dreger or something).

So with your statements here, a Smuggler should always get away from a Bounty Hunter. But then there is also Brae, who was one of Han Solo's girl friends, which he also named his first ship after, who escaped from Boba Fett.

Also, Han Solo was the one who knocked Boba Fett into the Sarlac pit.

Boba Fett also wasnt the one who captured Han Solo, he only told Vader where he was, and it was a buttload of stormtroopers and Vader who captured Solo.

Lando also got away from Boba Fett in the books.

So what I am saying is basically get off our boards, your logic is all kinds of messed up!

Side note too this, any Pure Elite Weapon Class (Rifleman, Pistoleer, Carbineer) should be able too beat a Bounty Hunter, do too the pure training they have in their given weapon. The styles should be more powerful than anything the BH's get. Also Bounty Hunters are weaklings, they go after Unarmed people, they are after money, they dont go after Elite Combat Personel, they go after random people with a price on their heads.

Problem with Bounty Hunters is simple, Pistols should not work passed 20meters. Fix that, and Bounty Hunters are brought in-line with all other classes.
