Publish 9 has introduced a new damage type for Lightsabers, called "Lightsaber" (duh 
)
)No NPC is resistant to it. No armor is resistant to it.
We know from star wars Expanded universe (EU) that the only material able to resist the blade of a lightsaber is the elusive Cortosis ore!
My petition is simple. With no way to resist damage done by jedi, the Bounty hunters are getting nerfed, *once again* ... After this patch (if it stays in it's current form) it will be near impossible to tank against a jedi, armor or no armor.
What I'm requesting is simple enough. There is a silicaste ore already in the game named "cortosis". What i propose is the addition of a new quest to obtain the schematic for this layer!
( Edit: We shall leave the details up to the devs then 
)
)The cortosis layer would grant something like 30 or 40% resistance to lightsaber, similar to stun really. This armor would probably sell upwards of 3M or 4M per suit i suppose, due to the rarity of cortosis ore and the rarity of the schematic itself after a while...But this would mean that there would still be a way to defend yourself against a Jedi, and it would make for some fun fights!
Why not simply have mandalorian be Lightsaber resistant, you ask? Well because in continuity, it isn't! Only cortosis layered Mandalorian is resistant to the blade of a saber, and to layer mandalorian with cortosis, you'd need to be able to make a cortosis layer!
I know everyone hates petitions as much as i do (and if you like petitions, well... good for you! Now sign this one! ), but this is an important addition to the game. It's not hard to do, and even if it is only done in Publish 10, it would still be very very very helpful!

Um, wow... You kinda got detailed. I think you should first petition for the devs coding a Lightsaber Layer first, then they can decide its rarity and how to get it.
As far as having a new layer, I don't know if I like the idea of having armor that could deflect lightsaber damage even though I like having new items. To me, being a Jedi truly would be 'God Mode' unless you're dueling another Jedi or even Force-Sensitive player. I don't think that the average Jedi hunting BH should have armor that would let him kill a Jedi, regardless of how much time he has to fetch schematics, hunt loot,and how much cash he has to pay Armorsmiths to craft it.
Not that I think that have a 40% suit would really do much, I just don't think it's worth all the hassle and such to petition for it.
If the devs see fit, then I'll gladly take a new layer though

what about chitin armor? it's supposed to resist LS dmg but get hot in the process, so shouldn't it get at least a little LS resist?

I dont agree.
But for christ sake, give normal Mandolorian armor resistances against lightsaber dmg. Thats the only place it makes sense to have imo.
