Kentontudor Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not complaining because I see where the imbalance between BH and Trooper would be, but don't Bounty Hunters have Jetpacks? It almost makes too much sense for a BH to be able to leap. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinge Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They can if they go Powertech and invest enough points in the tanking tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindara Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Powertech's can use their jetpack to leap at enemies while Mercs use there's to knock people. Its a decent trade off really. Tho I do misss knockbacks as a tank lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost makes too much sense for a BH to be able to leap. Just curious. Heck, I wish our sprint would let us hover and fly instead of just run. Priest in WOW get levitate. Bounty Hunters should get the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRouven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The jetpack is used by all Bounty Hunters to ... ummm ... vent heat and regen health! Some Bounty Hunters have learned to use it to ... ummm ... storm (!) to an enemy. But jetpack fuel is expensive and since saving the galaxy only yields a few hundred credits and we love our credits now, don't we. So the pennypinchers we are we ain't gonna use it to take shortcuts or enjoy the scenery from atop a high building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayfax Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It almost makes too much sense for a BH to be able to leap. Remember what happened when Boba Fett tried that?

cschoet Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If I give you the ability to charge with your jet-pack, I'm taking away your ability to rope me into acid/fire in Huttball followed by stunning me there to die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountAthaulf Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) I´m a Powertech..

lolrot Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 something else about BH and jet packs so the jet pack is on the back of there chest gear right so then why does my BH use rocket boots and not the thing on his back he is a power tech btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenrik Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Something they have to be careful of is the homogenization of classes. Many times, people say "X class has this, so it's only fair that mine does too!" But at some point group composition wouldn't matter anymore, and that's part of the strategy, imo. (And I'm a scoundrel, the class who really needs a gap closer more than a merc does...) That said, maybe it can be something... different. Like a gap WIDENER, causing you to jump directly AWAY (relative to the selected target). Would be good for mercs against melee anyway. Maybe it could drop threat during PVE encounters, too.

Stovakor Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I always thought BH;s should have a jump boost that's moves em 15 yards behind them like hunters had disengage in WOW. Plus it would give us more survivability in pvp since they nerfed the mercenary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razdek Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I agree that the jetpack is widely underused on bounty hunters.... But i think that troopers should also be given a jetpack to even things out (jump troopers ftw). As a BH i specced Pt shield tech just for the jet charge.

Bhaers Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Leap across the map? Imagine how much heat that would generate to cook your toes/spine. However, levity aside, I tend to agree. A rocket boot based charge so you are propelled at high speeds to the group would be nice but then maybe OP as well taken with grapple. Maybe instead I would love grapple's timedown to be a little shorter and that the agro generated was to all close mobs. The mob you grapple to you generates high agro to the ones within 10 meters and they run to you or start firing on you for 6 seconds.
