well I have been knocked down 10-15 per fight and only able to knock them down once.
If they are master sabers, you are probably missing a lot more than you realize.
There knockdown timer is the same as yours. And if you keep losing this way, the best advice is to adjust your template or attack style, cause you are either fighting elite PVPing jedi, or you just need a better plan.

I'm not sure of Eskie's situation. But from my experiences where I fully prepare (food included) I'll hit the Jedi and get the message "you fail to knockdown your target". I know its not a defense issue cause I get that message even if I'm fighting low levels. Our knockdowns have a hidden timer that doesn't allow us to knockdown everytime we use the attack unlike the saber throw which will knock you down every attack. Maybe its lag but it sure appears every saber throw knocks me down.

Maybe you should take some food to increase your accuracy then? +500 defense from Force Aura will make you miss a lot, and if a Jedi stays to fight he more than likely has Force Aura.

Every attack has a timer, but I can knock a target down probably once every 3 knockdown shots while Jedi can simply guarantee knockdown a player every saber throw. Why should every other class have this kind of an action sink hole and not Jedi???Message Edited by warrenbassist on 07-29-2005 08:59 AM
Again, absolutely untrue... Please know the profession you speak of before making such claims... the MAGORITY of saber throws return a "you have failed to knock down your target" messege.

This is whats happening to me as well. I will hit underhand shot the second time after the timer andhit the jedi for maybe 200 damage and get the "you failed to knock down your target" message

Wrong. The same timer is on Saber Throw.

So I have hunted a few jedi since publish 20 went live and it seems that every fight I get in with a jedi results in them using sabre throw 15-20 times until they finally kill me. In my experience I have never been able to knock down any player or npc more than once in a fight. Is this how its supposed to be?
In other words, is anyone else tired of attacks that work against us? I have a BH and a Jedi, so I am in both forums, it is ridiculous how Jedi hate MCM and BH hate everything that is jedi, if you dont like it, become a crafter, Jedi are supposed to be hard to kill, BH are supposed to use dirty tricks. No one is supposed to cry so much over a game. Jeeeesh!
ROFL If it kills you or is any good against you. Someones always gonna Cry Nerf.

I know that both attacks have a timer but what I am saying is in my experience it is only possible to knock down a target once per fight thats it! However this seems to only apply to non-jedi kd's.

Saber throw is the only tactic non-powers Jedi have against kiters, and MOST BH's are kiters....

So if you don't want me to throw a saber at you, then stand still, but if you choose to run and shoot at me, then you're darned skippy I am gonna throw a saber at your butt as often as it takes.
This thread makes me laugh. You have one person crying becasue they're unable to defeat a Jedi with Lightsabe Mastery and youve got another crying this is the only option they have agasint players who kite?
First, this is NOT a tactic and even with a KD you're only your back for 1 or 2 seconds tops.
Just from analyizng the posts it's obvious you guys need to learn how to play your desired roll. 
Hun me, oh yeah you cant! Heh and you wouldn't post-cu becasue I'm not 110k-160k. Too bad soo sad...

well from my experience, I will disagree...I fought a BH yesturday... and I was KD'ed JUST as much as he was...
Here is the thread and the BH even posted screenies, and if you look, I am on my back as much as he is in the screenies.

I can handle myself against saber throws if I go after my mark prepared. Only thing I hate about them is they knock you down every single throw. No other prof in the game can do that.
Mate, dont whine on the boards when you dont know what you are talking about. No jedi can KD on every move, its on a timer, that is probably 20-30 seconds... You dont get KD'ed on every attempt, trust me.

I am not saying I can't defeat a mls. I have taken out full temps with mls. All I am asking is why jedi can knock down a target multiple times ina fight and bhers cannot. Perhaps it is designed this way, I don't know thats why I am asking.I am not crying nerf. I just want to know if this is how it is supposed to be?
