Bounty Hunter Bonus

[Seret Sajet]

Looks like the Bounty Hunter folk out there have some extra skill points to play with.

Assuming the load screen I got last night was correct (and they're not always correct) Bounty Hunter now only requires Master Marksmen and Exploration IV in Scout instead of Master Scout. That frees up a lot of extra skill points. Lucky bastards.

Just an FYI for any of you BHs out there (Snewpy and Trayuse that I know of).

Yeah the Jedi on the SOE forums have been throwing a fit over it. Sheesh.

What difference does it make to them? So the BHs that hunt the Jedi can be a little tougher with some extra carbine or pistol skills. Deal with it, you're a Jedi. You're lucky Vader doesn't come and down and personally smear your ass on a cave wall.

Thats the arguments going on, they are mostly pising about that and how Combat medics can mind disease a Jedi and essentially defeat them in one move. Supposedly some balancing got turned around in that area.

Bla bla Smugglers are still screwed with Brawler blah.

Sorry, had to throw in my token bitchiness into this thread ;)

Sorry, no room for a X'an rant this time, Bub!

Smugglers only require Pistols IV (cause they gotta be able to handle themselves in a shootout) and Unarmed IV (and handle themselves in a bar fight). Bounty Hunters used to require two Master professions. Smugglers got off easy.

Didn't smugglers require a lot more in Beta? I thought I saw them listed early on as requiring 3 professions.

Maybe, I don't remember.

And I'm obviously not even coming close to ranting. ;P I'm just constantly looking at those wasted Melee and Brawler points, as they're not reflected at all in the Smuggler profession skill tree.

I thought the Smuggler Revamp including somthing to utilize the Brawler skills? Can't recall though.

Then again you won't see that revamp until Jedi's are nice and cozy in their fluffy little beds.

I came to a realization about this the other day. The Jedi's are presumably the core audience/uber-gamers of SWG. SOE knows better than to alientate these guys because that's where the money starts leaking when a MMORPG goes south. It seems to me their patch process is about the benjamins over appropriately scheduling the overall changes and combat rebalances they have been talking about.

They don't want to lose their Jedi players so they've given them a temporary free for all with no TEF's as they finish rebuffing the Jedi system. It blows me away how much time the devs are are spending going 1-1 with Jedi players in the SOE forums on every line item listed on a few very large threads.

And $money$ is the name of the game folks.

I don't think so, at least I don't recall reading anything to that extent. It's going to focus more on the Underworld tree which is currently almost completely useless (you can't delegate faction points for profit effectively unless you're at the top rank of your chosen faction, which pretty much makes you the most OBVIOUS smuggler in the galaxy, as you're also a General in one of the armies).

Then again you won't see that revamp until Jedi's are nice and cozy in their fluffy little beds.

I'm warning you, don't get me started! ;P

I just figured out the new elite BH combo using a char builder site....beware...the BH's just got incredibly powerful if they figure it out...

and I would do this combo too, if I could give up merchant, because it looks like fun

Oh you Tease. Give it up. What is it, Carbiner/BH? Master Doc/BH?

Well, Skorixor is the merchant of the Skor/Skarr/Skinnydip twins, and he intends to keep CH forever with him... So something based on BH/CH.
