Greetings,

Just throwing this out there for GM's. Possible to lower skill requirements for BH. For example lower it down to

Scout 4xxx Marksman xxx4 is required.

Just a thought?

My two cents:

1. Awakening prides itself as a hard server, devs unlikely to make it easier.
2. Jedi have a terrible grind, only fair for the profession that hunts them to have a bit of work to do too.
3. Frees up waay too many pts without master scout and marksman.
4. BH leveling really isn't that hard.

If you have played the whole jedi vs bh or whatever all this would do open up more options for the BH it wouldn't put it into easy mode because when you go up against knights lets ya still would get stomped on a one vs one most of the time.

The reason I was suggesting this is because it would open up the BH to provide more pve solo content tbh.

Just my two cents

It would create a huge imbalance. Bounty Hunter would become too over-powered and we would have to rebalance all other professions to compensate.

I don't understand how and I cannot see this because I have played mixed mbh templates and bh template with inv 3 or 4 and still tough vs jedi vs other in pvp yes I can see but no jedi no.

Bounty hunters, especially at master, are capable of doing a high amount of damage. After investing all of those points though, there aren't enough left over for great defense or healing. What you are suggesting would give BHs enough skill points (48) to be pretty good at a lot of things, without making many sacrifices.

It absolutely would make a difference in the BH/Jedi game. It would have a more negative impact on the game overall.

I guess... I have only fought a few jedi long time ago on here when traps first came out I wonder if it is a lot different now. I remember id try to solo a half template jedi and get pummeled and then I would try the 367s. As a MBH that is.
And then last week at the jedi temple event I seemed to get pummeled by the jedi npc and that is wearing a psg no natural resists very good offense but overall horrible defense.

I like pve on the mbh though more than pvp and was thinking it would be nice to span the points.

I WISH I had friends I cannot seem to find an active guild that likes pve and pvp no drama and fun.
So I solo a lot.
I saw some dudes killing named nightsister the other night wish I had friends like that to do things with instead of this solo lame content

Why is someone posting my template on the forums? ;)
Seriously through BH is tough enough as it is,removing lines from the marksman tree would no longer make it the "glass cannon" it was intended to be.
You can have more variety in your build if you make an investigation 3 character and be a support toon being a great addition to a team.

OP has already bailed to another server. If I saw some people doing some content i'd like to be doing I think I would ask to join in on the fun. The worse they can do is say no.
