Professions that seem to need tweaking

The issue with speed is that builds with FR2/FR3 can and do get killed within a trap duration vs 2 BH

As they should. Otherwise no one would fight and everyone would run. Nobody is unbeatable. You were around when we killed MDef and when we chased Creston too (best trackstar I have ever played against). If there is a single answer to fix the issue, then everyone would play it. We, as always, would have to adjust and overcome or bring more people.

2 skilled and equipped BHs should be deadly to anyone not MDef.

My main gripe is that mdef is boring as shit and I don't like being forced to play it. Pretty consistently I get on Royan and 2 BH show up in like 10 minutes (record holder is 5m). This may be somewhat special in my case due to my connection to a lot of BH - they know me and it's fun to give friends shit and it's just an extension of that. In any case, I'm not mdef and I don't survive those encounters most of the time so I just don't get on Royan anymore. The combination of LLC, FB, and traps is oppressive to spec options as a Jedi, specifically to ones I'm interested in. Is this necessarily an issue with the whole system? Nope, the best spec for one side leads to the best spec for the other and the world goes on - I'm just unwilling to adapt so I'll gripe about it from time to time and avoid the system until FRS comes out.

I don't disagree they hit like a truck. I disagree with the assertion they are OP and need to be nerfed. I think many people have the misconception they are OP because they see their friends go down like noodles when 2 or 3 of us show up. It's a mentality issue, not a game issue. Instead of looking internally and wondering if you can improve, the assumption is the other guy either cheated or is OP. Not only is that pretty darn arrogant, it leads to your skill stagnating. The dead player assumes they are fine, the problem is the other guy or the server. Of course since you never improve and you keep dying to a couple guys with LLCs, this just furthers the assumption LLCs are broken, or traps are being exploited.

I just get tired of seeing whatever strategy we come up with labled OP and then we listen to weeks and weeks of sub par pvpers complaining we should be dumbed down. It happened with Rockets, then Fire, then traps and now it's LLCs. Once they nerf LLCs and we find yet another work around I am sure that will be called OP as well.

I also agree that LLC's are fine. I'm not calling for a nerf on them, but I am also not calling for a buff on them. I know some Jedi may think they should be allowed to roll over everyone, but the bottom line most cases in pvp if it is 3v1, there isn't a lot you can do, and I am ok with that.

Reminds me of a fight before i went on a short hiatus (server is dead because i went back to work!) A bh or two that have been hunting jedi consistantly for 1yr or more might actually have an idea of how things work.Might have top of the line weapons,might know the correct foods to use,might have +25 tapes in just about everything that hunter might think is relevent to said fight.
Also might just happen to use other abilities rather then just fb and traps...i could go on.
If I spent all my time studying and relearning my profession over and over again instead of grinding out a jedi,i would expect to be very very familar with it.

BE pets can already be stronger than most tamed pets, and can be customized with special attacks. The only BE pet I have is a lvl 20ish spider that almost has more HAM plus light armor than a few of the rare pets I have that are lvl 50. So to say that BE pets are not stronger than tameable ones is not completely accurate. There should be tameable pets that surpass BE ones, CHs can spend more time looking for that 1 rare baby than a BE going out and sampling DNA so there should be some sort of payoff for that.


Additionally CHs that want to use just tamed pets, should have a way to compete with BE pets, or else it eliminates the point of spending weeks/months looking for certain rare pets, if you can go to a BE and have superior one made.

I think if some changes are made to CH, it will be a more desirable profession, which means that more players will pick it up. THis will increase the economy for BE pets and supplies.

CH is definitely in need of some loving to make it more appealing. We are working on a list over on the CH forums right now, so those BEs and CHs out there please feel free to look at it and add any ideas to that. It will be condensed down to some of the most important ones and posted in the suggestion forums eventually.
