You know it! With all the greatness of the Developers they are permitting this flaw to exist in the game. It's been reported since the CU had been pushed to live and it's direectly affecting the game.
Most "overloaders" are avoiding the red flags by keeping their damage within a reasonable limit although they are tweaking out force cost and speed stats. Well, even though speed from crystals and pearls are not correctly being applied 100% of the time,it's probally closer to 20% of time, there's a nice gamble when an unscrupolous players performs this exploit.
It's been addressed on many occasions. It was even address to the Devolpers who were hosting the discussion panel for Jedi. Too bad they refuse to fix this issue and create balance when it's needed to restore integrity to the game and the community.
What is the most damage you, as a Bountyhunter, have been hit for?

Well, here we are again...I would bet if you are a decent BH that you kill most that you hunt. Just because a few hammer you into applesauce doesn't mean there is an exploit. There are combinations of moves and if a person in any profession figures out how to pvp better than you, you flip out. I respect your post, because you contribute and are well over twice my number of posts, so this in't anything personal. The fact remains that without stims and knowing what you are doing as a Jedi, you will be killed and sadly in some cases by only one BH.

1200 damage, I even posted a screen shot of the combat log. I had food buffs, good armor, I'm a double master, and my duelest stance on throughout. The Jedi still averaged twice if not more the amount of damage I did to him. And saber throw still knocks you down, which if I remember right from pub 19 patch notes is not supposed to KD anymore. If Duelest stance gives +250 defense I wonder how much damage he would've done without it.
I'm still testing combat against sabers to see if there is a workaround, but so far its not looking like it.

The master level saber throw will knock you down...they removed the knockdown from the level IV Techniques saber throw.

As it stands from what I've seen now if a MLS gets even within arms distance forget about it.

Wow! This has got to be the most constructive post I've ever seen on the forums! You deserve a badge for posting a view that attempts to correct a possible issue even though it's out of context. I hoenstly believe your post is one of the most mature post I've seen that attempts to target an issue. /cheers!
Now, let me clerify:
I play a Jedi. I have NEVER played a Bountyhunter. I post this becasue I endorse the community that's been created between BH/jedi missions. My concernsare that the exhorbent amount of bugs will make their way back into the game and cause more problems between the commuinties o BH and Jedi. We need more attention to what's happening here.
As for damage. My template is LM, Enhancer 3002, Defender 4044, Healer 4000. I can Armorbreak, KD (using saberthrow) then /powerhit for up to 1300 damage under best case scenerio. I do not have perfect pearls/componets and would expect someone who does should be able to hit lcoser to 1400-1500 under these same conditions.
The problem is Jedi are able to overload their sabers thus instead of having 4 pearls they could load 10 pearls. The ones who are doing this and endorse it thorugh their guilds are keeping their damage within line to prevent any red flags although their force costs and speeds (when not bugged) are VERY MUCH beyond the standard mechanics of the game.

How? I am a MLS as well and the rest of the template is a secret hehe...That seems scumbagish to me and isn't cool.
