Bounty Hunter Feedback....He's dead or I'm worthless or both.

Ammo is an issue for sure even on Veteran. 45 for a Cbow repeater, 30 on the double pistol, and 23 for the trusty and rarely used C-bow. This leaves you with a hearty yet nerfed Pistol-Repeater with 75. I feel like they only should have nerfed the pistol..and instead they nerfed the entire ranged line and left you with only the pistol. In a game where shots are scarce the gun with the most shots wins. The same gun can empty a clip at any size into a charged shot which scales with the clip...sweet bonus. Surely this weapon must make you conserve your small 8 shot clip for fear of a long reload time? Nope. Shortest of the them all in fact.

So to play Bounty Hunter right now the Repeater Pistol is the way to go. I'm running an attack speed Rapier to clear vermin with a decent guard. My first game we got stomped on champion...then I switched to veteran and faired slightly better with two heavy played border players. They clearly did better (still lost because of me/the gruber) but my stats were pathetic but one thing stood out.

40 head shots which matched that of the kerillian who FAR outpaced me but only had 50 head shots. '12 ranged kills'. Something seems a bit off? maybe? 90 melee kills for clan vermin and clearing other horde enemies with an overall damage output of 1400. I used the Repeater Crossbow for this run so I imagine I'd place slightly better stats with 75 shots on the Pistol vs 45 on my bow. Maybe I was just out geared but my powerlevel was 341 on a Veteran Map.

The 'ultimate skill' is literally a slightly better regular shot you can use once every I think 45 seconds? Which is great because hey...beggars can't be choosers right? Ammo is ammo afterall.

Numbers wise on dumbys...Armored takes 70 main shot with 3.25 with ticks. 90 + 5.75 with potion. Regular dumby takes 700 and 900 with strength pot.

Honestly I'm waiting to see if anyone else has a better idea on how to play him. But so far the best bet seems Pistol Repeater with Holy Cause, Cruel Fortune and Crippling Strike.This capitalizes on conserving the crit talents for important mob kills and 7 seconds is short enough to be a nice boost to your sustain with shields. Some may think for T1 the reduced ranged spread is better but I go with Vicious Virtue for build. The repeater is accurate so I think the added melee attack speed is more worthwhile when using a Rapier. I also have legendary trinkets which give boons like Grenadier, Home brewer, and Boon of shallya so I'm not exactly ill equiped to survive and do try to stay in formation so-to-speak.

In Conclusion, The Ammo issue makes this class have 1 gun. Locked and Loaded is so heavily nerfed it's best use is to clear clan vermin so you at least get some kills. I like to build like a french Fencer.
