Thread: Yanked from the Jedi Forums....good read

No, no, no...the BH did MOST of the damage. The Jedi did have ANYTHING running. Looks like a set up for an argument for me. Aura was NOT up or macroed....the PSG can be debated. More then anything, let me shoot ANY melee player from that distance, with no armor, and no aura WITH Bols attacking, and you will get the same result.
It's hard to tell from the "choppy" video AND the lag in the game. However, from my experience, the FIRST damage the Jedi takes is from stopping shot, the second was from a Bol, the 3rd was from Adv Crit (or maybe leg shot, as I don't know the BHs template), the last damage COULD have been from either the BH (torso shot, body shot, or maybe even a KD). As it incapps the Jedi, it is too hard to tell exactly how much damage was done. I'm thinking it was BH though, as you see the "firing effects" as the BH runs up the hill. The shot was a LAG shot, as it was fired BEFORE the BH dropped into a LOS.
Bottom line....if you DON'T use the specials your given...of course your going to get owned.
UPON FURTHER review....the BH only used Stopping shot AND Adv Crit (or maybe just Critical Shot). You can see this by watching the BH toolbar and seeing whats' executed and what's not. The BH only fired twice...yet the Jedi took damage 4 times.....two of them HAD to have been Bol.
If you have Aura...use it and this might not have happened. This Jedi had nothing running, no foods, no drinks, no spice....NO CHANCE!
Pretty much what this guy said. I watched the Jedi's HAM bar and the only icon beneath was the stopping shot root... No food, no drink, no spice, no aura, no valor, or anything. Of course you're gonna get creamed, you didn't have any active defenses on.
Judging from the combat log (lower right hand corner), the BH did infact hit him 4 times. 4 yellow (? maybe yellow. I'm color blind, but I know the difference between normal combat spam and your own spam) system message popped up. 3 were before the incap (stopping shot, power hit, and then a third mystery) and one after the "You have incapacitated..." message. I know the footage was grainy as all hell, but if you know what combat spam looks like, you can figure it out.
Either way, 4 hits or 2 doesn't really make a difference. You didn't have any specials running and you paid the price. You could have been a 32k mark or a 226k, but if you don't use the skills given to you by your template, you're going to lose every time.

He actually got off 3 shots... stopping, then it seems he was auto-attcking with ranged shot, then ended it with critcal.
It's grainy, but you can kind of make it out. Improved Stopping Shot, Ranged Shot, Advanced Critical Shot, Ranged Shot. If you watch the Jedi's HAM, you can tell that he only gets hit four times, and you can see those four shots in Loc's combat spam.
I play on Scylla with these guys. Loc is a good PvP'r, and was well prepared for the fight as evidenced by all the foods/buffs he had in him. And Daire isn't that much on the terms, maybe around 130-150k if I remember right. Since he's level 61, I would think he doesn't have anything besides the Jedi skills listed, so he's going to fall fast.
This isn't really a case for anything. Amid-level Jedi got smoked while not aware of what was going on, he didn't even react to the BH, let alone heal...not to mention that he was not prepared (no aura up, no spices/buffs/food). Seems about right to me.
if thats a good bounty hunter then i think all jedi are safe
