On the real dude. If dueling is your problem... Food is a huge plus! Try to combo 4 or 5 foods. And try to keep a stun or dizzy on the jedi. Stun lowers there defense and dizzy lowers there attack damage.
Another huge plus is this.. DON'T USE ENERGY WEAPONS!
Energy weapons make up prolly a good 80% of all ranged weapons in game. Yes a good scatter pistol is helpful cause its kinetic. But look towards weapons that deal elemental damage too. Always fight with a PSG.(Personal shield generator) These can give at least a 1500 resistance increase to energy(Which is what damage a jedi does). Use attacks to set the tempo of the fight. If you have a root use it and get outta the saberthrow range. That is a jedi kd attack and its the 2nd most powerful jedi attack in game. Its best to range them. If a jedi roots you Prepare to heal heal heal.
The best defense is also a good offense. Remember jedi heals are timer based to so with that in mind doing damage that forces the jedi to heal more often then attack. Syn steak is a good food to spam for when the fight gets tough. Preferablly watch the damage you do. If you can stun/dizzy a jedi then KD him you then have his defense down and him laying on the ground. Use the kd specially when hes approaching 1/3 to half health. If a Jedi has AI, Just let him burn his force up.
that sounds like a nice tatic with the food, but I don't usually last long enough to "watch my damage" I am getting in 1 to 2 hits on the jedi before he kills me, and if Im really lucky ill get 3!!

What do you mean jedi use melee attack? Im sure they do dude. Melee = close range. Light sabers are energy based. you do understand the fundamentals of energy , kinetic, cold , heat...etc.? I
And if your PSG is 2100 energy resistance and you are using a recon armor of like what 6k... then you have a total energy resistance of 8100. Now if the jedi drops his saber and starts punching you. That is kinetic damage by default. Unless they have changed the base type of a lightsaber since a few minutes ago a PSG works to mitigate damage from a jedi that is attacking.
APSG only affects ranged energy damage. So thank you for damage types 101, professor.
And 2100 PSG + 6000armor does not equal 8100.... first damage is affected by the 2100 PSG, and then it is affected by the 6000 armor

You can have your theory and ill have mine dude. And when the first hits its mitigated by the 2100 then the 6000.. . So do the math either way its still the same. Plus how bout against saber throw dude? its ranged? please drop bh cause your sickening me dude....
saber throw still counts as a melee attack, just like lunge (or whatever it is post cu, havent been melee for a long time)
PSGs only reduce incoming ranged energy damage.Theystop NO LS attacks of any kind, not even saber throw.

Dont be disheartedned ive been back about 3 weeks and i was the same at first, u cant expect to just kill jedi caue well there muhch stonger than us. The cu changed so much takes a lot of getting use to, first id say with your temp drop carbine and swap it for pistol xxx4 then u get root which is awesome, then buy the best gun money can buy. then find out what woods to use i would recomend the following booster blue (spice) crispc vagnerian canepe vegeparisine, breath of heaven rube biel.
Also being a Cm rember the paralyze will break if u shoot them so dont have auto attack on so apply parlyse and then apply all your states, then round around shooting them healing shooting healing kd as much as u can, keep them in a healing loop, also root, if u can stay up tehn u will run them out of mind or force.

erm Saber Throw is still classed as Melee. How about an apology now you if have finished making a complete and utter arse out of yourself
Onmi Scient Sadly, they're right about PSG's. They don't block LS attacks (watch your combat log, it'll show you.)
In one way its good, in another its bad. If they 'could', then you'd have Rifleman with 10k+ resists to energy based melee attacks. Yikes!
I can't even recall seeing my PSG light up when I'm hit with a saber, come to think of it. I just know they don't block. 
are you losing action?
can you not stand after kd?
do you not do enough damage?
are you not healing enough?
are you not kiting properly?
unless you can see, understand and correct the problem, you won't be successful.
foods are a must for hunting jedi, some mind food for healing, and some action regen and health buff foods. i would highly suggest starting there.

Clearly they are refering to not being useful in stopping incoming melee damage.

Imperials PSGs ARE useful against Jedi. They are a cheap way to add +10 to your general ranged accuracy.
