The 'Uppercut' Legacy seemed fitting as a PT

cool post you deserve a bump

I just find the ranged vs melee thing in swtor to be very difficult. you want to pull groups and allow for CC abilities.... if 2 ranged are standing next to something CC'ed .. you can grapple one, but what about the other one? If everyone has to deal with the same problems that we deal with, then i won't complain. Making a game require more effort and skill feels rewarding at times. The argument should never be, "make this game easier!"

tbh game is too easy been to hammerstation did it first try.... always 1-2 levels too high for everything and i've been starting to skip quests

Book 1 of THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS Boba Fett, "It doesn't matter to me, though. Since I'm not making a deal with you, anyway." Posondum, "But why not? It's a fortune - it's more than the Hutts have offered you-" "It very well might be. You might be as good a thief as you are a number cruncher. And if you're going to steal even on credit from a Hutt, you might as well steal a billion. The consequences are the same. But even if you do have that kind of credits hidden away, I'm not interested in them. Or not interested enough. I have my reputation to think of." "Your.... Your what?" "The Hutts and all my other clients--they pay me the kind of bounties they do because of one thing. I deliver. Once I've caught my prey, nothing stops me from bringing it in. Nothing. If I take on a job, I complete it. And everyone in the galaxy knows that." "But... but I've heard of other bounty hunters... who'll cut a deal..." "Other bounty hunters may conduct their business as they please." Fett barely managed to keep from his voice the contempt with which he held the so-called Bounty Hunters Guild's members. That kind of shortsighted greed was one of the reasons he had no desire to associate himself with the Guild. "They have their standards...and I have mine. And I've got the merchandise, and they don't. There's a connection."

I think capturing people is a true sign of BH skill. The entire point of a bounty hunter is usually to bring in the bounty. If we just killed people then we'd be assassins. keep that in mind when going all dark ... and to the people letting targets run away [for money].... not cool for a million reasons. It destroys the entire integrity of the job. The logic boba fett used in his books usually was like this, "do business with a hutt, then you deserve your fate. Even worse if you try to steal from a hutt." when you think about it, why would a hutt pay so much money unless the person really pissed them off? bounty hunters are basically police that make a lot more money and skip the whole "laws" thing =P SW's is the wild west in space. smugglers / bh's = wild west jedi = religion / spirituality -------------- and personally my BH loves to frustrate jedi's (sith or not) ... i get joy out of taking them down a notch.

until you get ion cylinder dot extension, it's your best way of getting rail shots explosive dart one feeble target and unload on another... it's very effective crowd control if i want aggro or i am not taking hits, it's perfect efficient dps. It's efficient because you get the heat back while channeling

agreed. i guess if SW was made today Boba fett would have used his flamethrower more =P You have to admit, bioware did a great job of taking the characters of SW's and giving them MMO classifications.

I try to remain business-like but sometimes mocking a sith lord for his failures is great.... they come to us because they need us. Reminding them is awesome.

interesting thoughts... i'll skip it till i find myself facing high level raid bosses (a long time from now) In pvp burst is more important and i'd rather trust solid stats than currently low % luck based defenses. hopefully dual specs come out when the high end stuff starts

sigh did you even bother to click on the link in my thread? you use ion not high energy and speed bonus is completely pointless when you are leaping and grappling people ... you'll have lots of uppercuts with 50% snares costing you a total of 1 talent point.

look at the talents i selected - i wouldnt bother with heat cylinder

I strongly encourage you guys to check out the bounty hunter trilogy (about boba fett) from the SW universe. I try to think, "what would boba do?" and it's super fun. Things i'd like to mention to people @ low levels right now. 1) there is actually a point when my character says "i'm not imperial." Keep this in mind when you are playing your character, you cant be kicked off the sith team lol 2) try not to feel bad for the victims - in the BH books the prey often piss themselves in Slave 1 prison. lol 3) Kill your prey if they are slowing you down. I usually just freeze them or capture them, but one guy said he wouldn't come with me unless i freed more slaves. Boba doesn't do charity or add extra risk. 4) Lots of missions have nothing to do with BH'ing but try to keep reputation and politics in mind. Your reputation is everything. 5) if anyone crosses you, make them pay. More of the reputation. I negotiate with the ignorant, but if people outright attempt to kill or double cross me, they usually end up dead. from following these concepts, i'm leaning light but mostly neutral. i hate singleplayer games but this stuff is fun as hell (and i <3 BH's)

i just dont see pvp working without the jet charge the ion aura is amazing stop trying to do other things and admit you are pigeon holed into full tank tree ---- rather than moving 30% faster, make the enemy move 50% slower 15 sec leap 15 sec heat dump with heat blast massive avoidance going for something like this .... http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/bounty_hunter/powertech/#::fefe4de5fe7fef12ef4ef16 i have tweaked it a bit since i'm actually playing a BH rather than theory crafting

so default is 20% ... you'd have 26%? what is the return on that? 100 dmg = 6 less dmg ... not that impressive?
