Thread: Out of boredom, I started a new BH char on another server...

It must be easier to get investigation exp now than it used to be, because I'm filling up those boxes faster than I am weapons exp based boxes. Not to mention I'm getting simple toolkits about 75% of the time for newbie BH missions. The missions are also kind of fun... something I can't get with smuggler.


Now I'm seriously considering respecing to BH / Smuggler on my main... You guys that are BH smugglers, how do you do in combat? I'm kind of used to tanking things since I'm TKM/smuggler, but I have kited a bit. I'd probably go something like MBH/MSmuggler/Medic 0020 until I could change my FS boxes around. Kinda bites that I'd have to destroy my Katarn if I decide to stay that way, but if it gets me some content it will be worth it IMO. Just seems like a strange combo, BH + smuggler... lol. I'd have to buy some armor, I think my 3 mill in the bank would cover the initial comp suit. I'd probably buy a scatter eventually, but my renegade pistol would probably do for the mean time. I've decided that I want to stay smuggler for now so I would have something to do with slice loots and I could keep dropping bases for teh cheap.


Do you guys ever solo Krayts? I live in a town right by Krayt Canyon, so I tend to hunt them a lot.Selling Krayt loots is how I get the majority of my money right now, and I do happen to have a few stacks of tissues laying around if I need a new gun...

1. MSmuggler / MBH is a good combo PvE wise, but its an abomination RP wise


2. If you can solo Krayts with your current template, stick to it, they eat me alive

I don't roleplay to be a boutyhunter, but an assasin. I kill people for money, I do stuff with illegal spices, I slice like hell ( well my own weapons, not much demand for slices)... bribes are very common. I n my mind I am my very own mega criminal!


I'm a MBH/MSMUGGLER/medic0020.

With the right equipment AND foods you can become really potent in pve. (what do you miss if you are only medic 0020 and not 0040? yup that one mod. there are some ways to boost it. I can take out the golden chevron cl 81bh marks 100% of the time.)


PVP wise... well you gotta keep your distance. Stay in groups and stay in the background. Allthough your strenght is not one on one, you are a big friend to your teammates, as you get to play around with concussion shot, critical hit, overwhelmingshot-eyeshot-confusionshot,Low blow etc.

Oh well, I guess if I couldn't solo Krayts anymore, I could always do more MBH missions and pray for a good CA / AA /weapon component drop. The krayt spawns on my server are littered with houses which makes it a tad tougher to kite them. I can currently just tank them as a TKM and do ok as long as I don't get doubleteamed from a new spawn.


To get my Ancient Kraytbadge I just pulled out my pistol and kited with the rest of the group... lol. Those things are WAY too strong for me to tank. Took us about 5 tries before it quit retreating... and we finally just dragged it on top of a big group of stormies to finish it off.

Yes, she is a very scummy person... true bottom of the barrel. She is so scummy in fact that the game MADE her move to Mos Eisley where she is now attending classes at the famous Wretched Hive University to finish her graduate studies in Villainy. We are all very proud back home!

IC I'm a smuggler, but I learned some fun tricks from the Bounty Hunters Guild


I still feel weak, though Mostly it's just the Pistol's damage output is terrible.

2 questions...what have you been smoking? And where can I get it? smuggler/BH is the ULTIMATE underworld template.

  1. I have a great backstory that covers that nicely (I'm thinking of respecing because of it).

  2. I leave Krayts alone and I hope they extend the same courtesy to me.





On the other hand, I do think it's terrible that slicing tools are dropping that frequently.. I mean 25% of the time would still be a huge number compared to normal loot which does a 1-10,000 random number generator to see what you get.

/sigh

Ah well

Edit: Sorry for going mildly off topic and hijacking

Mines the other way around. I started out a BH working for a crime syndicate and I just started picking up stuff.
