What is a Great, Good, and marginal parse for a 216 - 220 geared PT (AP) in actual application? (not dummy) I realize it will be estimates, and can vary based off of many factors, but im looking for reasonable numbers one could expect. Thanks!

I see. Ok, food for thought. Thx folks!

GREAT spreadsheet! Its a keeper, but from the perspective of the raid leader is the 400pt difference significant?

I guess I wasnt clear perhaps? Is the DPS difference between Powertech (AP) and Mercenary (IO) significant enough to a potential raid leader?

I really like the Bounty Hunter concept as a whole, and prefer the PvE DPS role (on a rare occasion i'll binge PvP). Which amounts to this, I could really enjoy playing either Merc OR Powertech, with a sliiiight edge to my PT (AP). However, recently I've been wondering how much of a difference in DPS the Merc IO is to my PT (AP). Is it significant enough to switch? Again I could play any BH adv class with as much enthusiasm, so its not a matter of "play what ya like" because if its a BH I already like it. I would really like to dedicate to one and go all out and not feel like I wasted my efforts later (or wear a stigma of "that adv class is crap DPS good luck getting an OPS group") Thanks all! TOP WISHES: 1) "Mandalorian" Title, 2) Weildable Rifles, and 3) BH/Smugglers to be "Neutral Faction" FWIW

I asked this question recently. It seems Merc IO is the way to go for PvE...seems an overwhelming "NOT for PvP" (not so much your concern tho).

Thanks for your reply!

I love the story of the BH class. I enjoy DPS role. So my question is: In PVE what is the BH adv class you associate with strong or better DPS typically In a group or raid environment? Thanks!

Anyone notice the BH standing next to the hutt in the VIP area of the fleet? Hes holding a carbine not a pistol. Thought that was interesting....one hopes someday huh?

Ditto, Watching to see what the "Pro's" say.

Great post! Quick question. When you folks speak of "Crit Rating" are you referring to the score displayed when mousing over the "Critical Chance" stat under the "Ranged" menu of the player window? Thanks!

- Auto sort button that would group like items together by name alphabetically. - A new inventory tab that would group like types of items (Gathered materials for example) much like it is currently for "mission Items", and "Currency". - Inventory Search function. Type in the name of the item you seek to identify IF and WHO has it among your characters on that server. Low priority I realize ...but there it is. Thanks!
