Ranged or Melee

[Uraun]

Using guns while your pets absorb all the damage is fun. Melee professions are fun too, but not a very logical combination for CH. When I started melee'ing as a Creature Handler it made my pets seem useless.

Cheekily cut'n'pasted from another thread :shock: :roll:

I'm master CH/rifleman with the meditation tree in Tka (specifically for lookin for bull rancor babys, healing the wounds the rancors do is a godsend!) Which leaves me a couple of points for forage (scout xxx1) to get food for my pets



Certain Death Every Fight. ROFL

Which is better...Carbine, Rifles or Pistols ? I'm currently doing Carbine, but I find that using the specials has too much of a HAM cost. Keep in mind that I don't normally get buffed so HAM costs are important to me.

[Seffy]

Hmmm good question...

Rifles, carbines and pistols all have HAM costs to do any of their special moves.

I think it jus depends on you're style of gameplay :)

As a master Rifleman most of my specials hammer my mind bar, so getting a musicans/dancers buff is a must otherwise i drink brandy and eat canapes like they're going out of fashion :lol:

Ok ok.... so i might be a fat alcoholic rifleman, but it keeps me on me feet :P

:D hehe I've always found that odd. Lucas has always portrayed SW with an eye toward family values and ethics. I love the fact that all 3 of the original movies are as good as they are and contain no swearing or nudity (not that I don't enjoy both :shock: ) I would love to see his reaction if he knew that this game has turned us all into a bunch of drunks and drug addicts who sit around watching the scantilly clad twi'leks shake their tail feathers. Perhaps that is why we are going to experience combat revamp...just hope they hold regular AA meetings.

I just find that the swords are more elegant to fight with than guns. Personal pref I know :wink: But when fighting with my pets its like we are a team and it works really well.

Ironically, it seems that more people prefer melee to ranged with CH. :D
