Is it like the unarmed lunge exploit in beta?


(for those who don't know about the lunge exploit, you could spam unarmed lunge from 15m away from anything, and continue to spam it until you took down your target. I was able to go all the way through the unarmed tree in little over one day with it. I could walk up to anything, and solo it. I as killing Fambaas on Naboo, Imperial camps right and left. They fixed it so that it went from doing 200-300 damage to doing 1 damage.)

All of the BH Carbine abilities have status effects: two Knockdowns, one witha chance to Dizzy; and two with a chance to Stun and Dizzy, one with a chance to Blind. The BH is given such training to make up for his lack of defense. The BH profession also requires much more hardwork and dedication to earn all the required XP, so it's quite logical he is also stronger.

BH is no harder than advanceing to full rifleman really. And those abilitys TOTALY prevent you from fighting back. Dont pull this its harder so it should be better. my friend is a BH and he didnt do anything more than I did to get there.

Full BH is abouyt the same exp as for full rifleman. The other reqs arent that hard expecialy since everyone wants a support 2nd class. Master scout isnt hard. Im almost master scout and I didnt even try. Master marksman is just an extra 180xp than what I have (rifle+special) and thus isnt really that special either.

The bounty hunter requirements are nothing to scoff at. Trapping 4 and Survival 4 aren't trivial to get, and neither is the 40,000 combat experience required after getting to master marksman. Not only is it time-consuming to get to, but it's painful to have all those skill boxes used. And there's a big difference between almost having done the requisite requirements, and actually having them done.

There's nothing time consuming nor difficult to master scouting, nor marksman, nor any basic profession that I've seen. The cost of being a BH is in the skill points used, not time or difficulty. Trust me, get a 450K weapon box and a combat XP box in a profession and you'll remember the fun days of master marksman XP, and how you raised all 4 scouting boxes AS you XP'd like normal.

I engaged a BH couple of nights ago. I admit to being a pvp newbie here so I got owned quite badly mind you. Thing is tho I got smart towards the end. Hiding just around the corner of a building an started sniping him from 60m. He turns around an knocks me down while I was prone... mmm **edit**? I had gotten mind shot an one head shot on him so even tho he ran up an finished me off he still got incapped as well.



IMHO if your prone you shouldnt be affected by knockdown.


Also does conceal shot really remove you from radar? Tho if it does all they have to do is follow their shots cause of autoattack ya know.



Like I said I'm new at this GCW thing here so any tips are appreciated.
