Thread: Insane LS damage?

I need to vent a little. I'm not here to further the rage and strife between BH, Jedi and the Devs, but I'm pretty aggrivated. Last night I thought I'd try out the new "nameless" system and see what happens. I'm by no means the greatest BH, but I can hold my own for the most part. I find my mark standing around running macros. Well I know that he's not going anywhere soon, so I figure I'll start shooting (at least he hasn't seen me). I'm on a full buff, with full food and drink mind you. I get a root off and start nailing him with Adv Crit and Imp Body shots. My recharge rate on my attack timers is so fast I have trouble keeping up. The root breaks so I snare, some knockdowns here and there. When the Jedi does finally get in range and starts attacking me, he's hitting for 800 to 1028 damage consistently. I checked my log later and saw that my pup'd Proton Carbine, around 900 max damage and a health 600 DPS was hitting for 97 to a max of 147 on this Jedi. I know my tactics weren't great (well not there) and I'm not mad at the fight as I did all I could to kill and survive, but how can we even think about competing with damage like that when we're hitting for 147? 1.5 times more powerful my ass. Does this seem wrong to anyone else or am I just bitter?

Well I'm not claiming it's a bug, or an exploit or anything of the sort, but I am claiming that it's rediculous.

The damage looks correct, I'm not denying that there might be some bug, but a MLS w/ improved force speed can deliver 1 hit every 2 seconds. With armor break (-65% armor), even the best 8000ish resist armor will absorb around 20% damage. A good saber has around 800 averagedamage (700-900 w/ elemental damage).

I fought a Jedi once, and every time he hit me it was for over 1k, I was on the defensive the whole fight...

Yep.. Lately its been pretty consistant for me as well. Lightsabers doing 1k+ damage. I've got a top of the line Carbine that's only 16 pts shy of max damage, its speed sliced. So my attack speed is down to 1.25. However, I hit AT BEST 263 pts with Critical shot. What ticks me off is that not only do they have insane damage, but they also have great healing in addition to Stimpak healing.

Oh its back. There are a couple of Jedi on my server that hit me for over 850 a pop ever second while I am standing up. I treat it like its a fire and try to stay back as far as I can while I wave the flames.


The funniest thing that happened to me was when I was KD'd by one of these great Jedi of our time frame... I was hit for 580 with saber throw which KD'd me and then was hit for 2.2K of damage 2x in 1 second. So not only was my Jedi friend using an overloaded saber he was also using a cute little macro that helps him hit two times in one second.


Its getting beat by these guys and then having them /hi5 their friends that makes me so unbearably happy. I hope they let me sit at their lunch table and talk to them some day.

You guys... MLS is what is killing you... If a jedi lands a ADV. Armor Break he will hit you for 800+ everytime. if he uses power attack 2 he will hit you for 1k+ during armor break. These are not bugs. Even with crapy armor and a crappy saber(525-644 damage) I can hit for these numbers.

Oh and if you are that close to the jedi you are hunting you arent a very good BH.....

Happened to me last night. I have a sliced Krayt Heavy Lightning Rifle with max damage of 1137. I also have Ubese armor with attachments for accuracy and speed. My first shot hits for 400 damage, then I knock him down, I shoot advanced critical for 200 damage, the jedi roots me, he hits me for 800 damage. Not he is alreadyahead. Well obviously he won, I couldn't keep up with the heals and the basically 2-1 damage he did. Not really 2-1 when you look at how many times I missed. Duelist didn't help. He was a MLS and finallyincapped me with a saber throw.

He was pissed though that I blew up his swoop. I did that while wating for him to come out of a cave. Shouldn't have left it out there unattended. And I did want to make sure he couldn't get away. I used all the right tactics and still lost. Used cover to get near the cave. He never knew I was there. Only thing I would have done different is to think of a way I could have deployed a bomb droid at the mouth of th cave.

I have 75% reduction to armor break on every piece of my armor. I also have 240 melee defense before foods.


The reason I can say these guys are using "illegal" ways in their fighting because I have fought these same Jedi within the last month and they were not hitting for that hard then.
