Guide to Bounty Hunting by Me,
1) Weapons
The most efficient weapon to Bounty Hunting, is the jedi's worst nightmare... a Guardian Lightning Cannon (GLC). This is an Energy rifle, which has 993 DPS (The New PostNGE) and an elemental damage of 155 Electricity damage. A Bounty Hunter should always carry a melee weapon on them since the bounty may be a jedi and can use saber block. my recommended weapon is "Xandank Lance".
2) Buffs
The next step for becoming a victorious Bounty Hunter is the buffs. You can use any buffs of your choice. When looking for buffs, you'll want to look for buffs that increase constitution and stamina the most. Constitution increases your health points, and Stamina increases the speed of health and action regeneration. Those 2 factors are very important on the field. Make sure you use as much buffs as you can that you get from quest rewards. As a quest reaward buff, you want to look for a buff that lasts long and doesnt have a re-use timer of more than 30 minutes. As for food buffs, Constitution and Stamina are very important. You will want to look for a buff with Constitution and Stamina at or above 15. The next type of buff is a spice. In buying
spices, the best buff out there today is called "Booster Blue". It may be expensive depending on your server, but worth it. After you have all these buffs, your set to go to battle.
3) Armor
Armor in Bounty Hunting is very important. There are 2 different methods of using armor. The first method is to simply get armor with the Kinetic and Energy stats the same. My Stormtrooper armor is 6k Kinetic and 6K Energy. You can get the same for Rebel armor. Just simply equip that type of armor and always use it. The second method I use is a risk factor of losing. You can contact your local ArmorSmith and ask for 2 sets of armor. One set with the stats 8k Kinetic, and the other set with 8K Energy. This is more expensive but it works well, although it is very risky since the lower side of the armor is all the way down to 3k.
4) Preparation
Before entering battle, if you are using the 2 sets of armor method, you have to see what your bounty is equipped with as a weapon. If its a lightsaber, lightsabers are energy, so you would equip your 8K Energy armor. The risk factor with this is that if they change to a kinetic weapon you are dead since your armor is 3K kinetic. You also CANNOT change armor in battle. Now it is time to start.
5) Combat and Skills
The first attack you'll want to surprise your bounty. The most efficient way for this is to shoot them when their back is turned to you. Then after the first 3 shots, run up to them and use Razor Net, since they will turn around to attack you, if you run to them and use Razor Net, you will now be on the other side of your bounty. Now your bounty is confused. now your bounty is in your trap, and you are shooting at them. Now, when you have a snare on the bounty, you will want to use Unyeilding Onslaught and Scorch. When the snare is finished, use Cripple as a secondary snare. If the bounty is a jedi and uses saber block, you will want to use melee on them. When in melee combat, you will want to use Razor Net while hitting your target. Now repeat over and over until the bounty is dead and you have completed the mission.
Now, if the bounty runs, dont fire. Instead, wait until you are out of combat and then get on your speeder, but follow him whilst not shooting. Chase him on your speeder, until you catch up. Then get off the speeder and attack using the same snare method as above. Repeat until your mission is successful. My personal toolbar is as follows: Rejuvinate, Scorch, Unyeilding Onslaught, Cripple, Lowblow, Razor Net, Web Bomb, Stims, Grenades, Xandank Lance, Guardiang Lightning Cannon, Ion Stunner.
I am a very successful BH on the Kettemoor server.
GL with Bounty Hunting.
