Was great fun. Grats to Fish for gettin BH, hopefully a few ppl wont be far behind you.

Still wondering which profession i want to go for. Thinking of these...

Master Pistoleer/Master Creature handler
Master Commando/2,2,1,2 CH/4,0,4,0 Scout
Master Pistoleer/0,0,4,3 BH
Master BH/0,0,4,3 Pistoleer/Rifles/Carbine
Master BH/2,2,0,2 CH

Think i've pretty much decided i want to go pure combat, as if we go hunting for force crytals (to be a jedi) we'll have to grind up a few professions anyway, yet wont be able to fight stuff to get the crystals unless we've got decent combat chars in the first place.

Will probably hit master marksman/scout in the next 2 days so ive got till then to decide

I think I'll go for Master Smuggler. You'll need insane amounts of Pistol XP but with group hunting like yesterday that seems possible
I think a Master Smuggler has enough skill points left for a few other helpful professions, like first aid and exploration.

Had enormous fun yesterday and it was nice to hear all your voices on Ventrilo, although I had trouble hearing Delta. He came through so softly that I couldn't even hear if he speaks Scottish

hey guys

Glad you had a good time - I know I did

I am stuck now grinding out my way towards carbines4 and Ranged Support 4

I have decided to go for Master Squad Leader/ 0-4-4-0 Commando. This gives me the Heavy Weapons of Commando and the Group helping abilities of a squad leader. Its that or I go Smuggler/commando . . . Not sure yet

I was toying with the idea of a Master Combat Medic/Pistolier - that would work really well but no large guns.

I am torn at present - I might try commando/ squad leader for a while - if I want to I can always ditch and rebuild from scratch

well after a lot of thought and training to be a BH ive decided on a change of direction.

ill now be

Marksman 0,4,0,4 .. Scout 4,4,4,3 .. Medic 4,0,0,0 (or 0,0,0,4) ..Mast0r CH and Mast0r Pistolwhipa


that way im ub0r with the pistols (my fav weapon in the game tbh) and i get to throw huge nasty monsters into battle. Plus wookies have a natural +10 or +20 in CH from the start and I get to supply you guys with non CH mounts and pets


oh and last nights hunt was bloody fun and awesome XP.

Top night of top fun!

Now we've got a steady crowd things are getting really good.

Profession wise i think i'm gonna go :-

BH 4-0-4-4 (Don't really like Carbines plus not much benefit from MBH)
Where to spend my other pts i'm unsure yet. Gonna have a dabble with Creature Handling this week and see how it goes.

I've been playing around with a character builder on www.swgcenter.com and I think I'm gonna be:

Master Smuggler, Master Pistoleer, Medic 4,0,0,0, Scout 4,0,0,0 and Brawler 4,0,0,0. The last one being a prerequisite for smuggler otherwise I would have ditched it. This will cost me 229 skill points so I've got ample room for another useful skill. Too bad I can't also be a Master Chef, I do like cooking

I really don't know what I want to do with my character now that I see the limitations of being a pure BH with regards to doing anything (very well) other than combat. Another drawback is the reliance of carbine use, cos I hate them.

I have been considering forgetting about BH and concentrating on Rifleman with additional specs. Dunno what yet though.

Delta the dancer?
