Thread: Ya gotta love them bounty hunters
Umm. actually bounty hunters got it pretty rough. Maybe not as rough as us commandos. And I am a commando TKA so this patch was not so nice to me 
But most of the supposedly UBER BH's people see are actually pistoleers with bh pistol line. it is now very hard for people who want to be pure BH's and master the profession. They are still a strong class but the reason they complain about weakness is because their marks on the bounty missions are ridiculously tough and they have a VERY hard time using these to make money. a lot of bounty hunters will admit the chief problem is the need for marks to be dropped in difficulty. Hell they are harder to kill than the npc jedi.

The bounty hunters in the game are upset that they are not powerful enough, now the big patch made them even more powerful than they were, and here is the common comment on the BH boards "the stupid devs made knockdown un-spammable so now i cant own jedi", they also want an elite-elite skill called the "Jedi Hunter" now the only jedi hunter to ever exist was Vader, and he wasnt a bounty hunter.And theyre also angry that the devs are "supposedly" going to fix our Knockdown before they fix theirs, i cannot stand these people, they also say Bounty Hunters should be the only profession that can go toe-to-toe with Jedi,umm Teras Kasi much? The art of Teras kasi was invented to keep the Jedi in check, and if bounty hunters want to be "gods" they should be attacked if they are fighting in a town, because in the Star Wars universe Bounty Hunters were hated and people wanted them all dead
My opinion is i keep my noise in my own business. However i want to clearify something
The art of Steel Hands (teras kasi) was NOT invented to keep the jedi in check. Its is a very ancient and rare martial art in the galaxy. the orgins of our art come from the world of Bunduki. Anoon Bondara. was a Master of Teras Kasi and he was a Jedi. (imagine fighting him. His padawan was the first to fight Darth Maul) Nowhere in the comic books. Books. Movies. Roleplaying games does it say that Teras kasi was made to cull the Jedi. I honestly think you made that up. I don't want to flame you.
Also There were jedi hunters. Who were bounty hunters. One of those bounty hunters was not force senstive used a light saber when she killed jedi. Also The emperor Inquestor were Jedi hunters (although they were force senstive) During the purge there were alot of jedi hunters/bounty hunters. They are on the complet opposite of what jedis are. (jedis being. responsible, Self-disciplined, and a sense for public service. Bounty hunters being, Aggersive, Selfish, and egotistical.)
Once again. I don't go to other professions to dig up dirt on them. I mind my own and bug report the problemns i see with my class. Not my roommates class. My wife's class or my friends class.

Dont **edit** where you sleep, please keep the TK boards clean, if you feel the need to complain about other profession go to their boards directly or the dev board perhaps and even better non at all.
Seriously guys lets not get involved into class flame wars, its shows nothing but weakness
Heres a little info on Teras Kasi I found
Teras Kasi is a weaponless martial artform which was created and perfected by the Bunduki, a race which hails from the planet Bunduki, located in the Pacanth Reach. The Bunduki even had their own special sect of Teras Kasi practitioners called the Followers of Palawa, who were revered as masters of Teras Kasi - the highest rank a Teras Kasi Artist can reach is even called the Palawa Band.
Teras Kasi tournaments were held, the most popular being in Aslaja, the capitol city of Bunduki. There have actually been Jedi who were Teras Kasi Artists as well. Anoon Bondara, a Twi'lek Jedi Master, was also a master of the Teras Kasi arts. Joclad Danva is another Jedi who studied the ways of Teras Kasi, and one of particular note - he was a regular participant in martial arts tournaments until he was defeated by Phow Ji, a native of Bunduki, in the final match at the tournament of Aslaja city. Their match lasted forty-seven minutes. This tournament took place shortly before the start of the Clone Wars.
One other Teras Kasi Artist of note is a man named Xendor. Xendor was an ancient Kashi Mer who was exiled from his homeworld for combining Teras Kasi techniques with the Dark Side of the Force. He gathered quite a following, and they became known as the Minions of Xendor. One of his students was none other then Arden Lyn, whom we know from the Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi game. Xendor was killed by the Jedi Knights shortly after the First Great Schism split the order apart.The Kashi Mer themselves are an extinct culture, pre-dating the Old Republic. Their civilation was based on the tenets of the Followers of Palawa, and many Kashi Mer had some control over the Force. The Kashi Mer refined the forms over Teras Kasi over a span of centuries, developing it into an almost religious combat form. However, many Kashi Mer were turned to the Dark Side of the Force by our friend Xendor. And we all know how that ended.
Tera Kasi were created to police the jedi (therefore, they should be just about as powerful). You can read the history post made by Thunderwulf here-
