Just curious, has anyone tried to make a template with Alot of SL (master preferably) and novice BE? A template that's not completely combat nerfed.

are you trying to build a buster prof? i only ask because this seems to be a weak template to build around. if its buster, then yes i have some ideas for you

Not a base-buster exactly.. Just a BE is hard to come by, so I thought I'ld try to work it into my existing build. I'm also looking for a crafting profession to "mix things up" a bit, and we could use another BE in my guild...

Well, I have MSL/MCarb already.. Didn't think BE would fit into the remaining points.. Will it?

And is there an up-to-date Char builder?

I used to be MSL/MPistols and Rifles 4400. used my token respec this week to drop rifles and get novice BE plus xx1x medic for some help healing.

My toon is pretty much only used in group situations so i do fine, not really designed for damage more crowd control. I took pistols simply to make my grind thru the new Sl xp requirements easier but im happy with keeping it. If i went with rifles or carbines i would have a high damage output, which would mean i would be more likely attacking alot and using up my action. I prefer pistols as i mainly look at using disarming shot, warning shot, intim shot and stopping shot thereby keeping my action bar mainly intact for SL specials. And my guild is alot happier as its one less prof they have to find when wanting to take down a base.

By now i run MSL/Mcarb/novice BE.

It works well in basebusting (so we don't have to drag our lv. 5 Master BE/ Master Chef into battle any more...) but definitely is no real crafting profession.

The statement on limited healing abilities i found to be true at first test, but i managed to get hold of a shirt with +16 on healing efficiency and now i am not complaining about it any more. (Pushed my healing capacity from around 300 per heal at the start to well over 700 per heal with the BE mod.) Currently the crafting of BEclothes is broken, so at the moment you have to be lucky to still find a shirt like that in a vendor. As soon as the thing is fixed again, i would advise you to get you a shirt with the max. of that mod you are able to find (+18 is the max, afaik), then you're actually a nice secondary healer. (If you like to go with a hole in your armour or don't need a backpack, you can push to a total of +25 with trousers or a bandolier.)

Anyways, i have to repeat, novice BE will give you one more function in busting a base, but it'll grant no real crafting abilities, everything really interesting to produce is certified at higher skillboxes, not to mention that you'll lack the necessary experimentation points.

Well, I was *going* to do the MCarb/MSL/NoviceBE thing last night.. But it seems my FS skills have mucked that all up.

As i'm not willingn to drop MSL or MCarb quite yet, I guess I'll just have to keep hunting for BE's...

heh.. Sucks when I've already got 13 sunk :-(
