ok now that i have finally read all the threads heres my 2 cents i love bodyguard mode. granted i am a rob/dark mm
and yes i feel the pain of the ff mms (making me rethink my thugs bubbler one of the some of the biggest problems in the past were getting one shotted or stunned and unable to cotrol robots in my condition and then i would get gang [censored] scrappers stalkers tanks and controlers would all kill me no problem unless i got first attacks in wich rarely happened lol. i love pvp one of my main [censored] was the forever setup reset time with l7 that has gotten to be considerably better tho it still kinda sucks the tp foe and the slowness of bot travel are my 2 main problems with pvp i do wish when i was tpd my bots came with me where they are my primary power set like other people have stated tanks dont lose shields when ported this is the only at that loses its power when tpd away and the slowness of travel make you a tasty target for all who want to kill the tasty mm even tho i am in desprate need of a respec the body guard funtion has definatly increased my longevity in pvp i have tested it on slow nights with friendly fights with some of the best 50s i know(names will not be used to protect me lol) test one my mm agains a true lvl 50 granite tank result was a stalemate (yay) tes number 2 was same granite tank joined with a lvl 50 pb(who has one of the best builds ive seen yes you know who you are) result just onder 10 minutes of combat before i was killed in that time i took out pb once and managed to stun the tank if i had gone for the kill or played it slightly different might have gotten him too(at least id like to think it. test 3 me against imo one of the best scrappers in game he used to kill me in under a minute out last battle was just about 10 minutes and he even said wow thats one tough mm (made me feel real good) and this is with needing a respec switching between body guard and attack are easy and quick just be aware of your surroundings before taking the bg off in close combat bg used correctly will help make us a powerful foe to most ats my days of hiding in the sky with group fly and shadow falls on looking for the lonly defender or controler are over i dont fear going into an all out battle with tanks and scrappers anymore and this has added much enjoyment to my mm in pvp cant wait till toon copy tool is working right so i can try some respects to it to make it even better and so far thre is only one scrapper who will remain nameless who can consitently take me out in under 8 minutes mainly cause hes so quick and in and out of my fight range faster than i can aim lol once i respec i feel ill be able to be a force to reckon with i just have to remember to keep a healthy supply of oranges to keep the tp foe down so before shunning the bodyguard feature really play with it it works wonders for me
