Thread: Stasis
Its 40seconds. And its another example of a root that is supposed to "break" when your attacked, but it doesn't break at all, just like paralyze and concussion shot. All completely overpowered and needing to be fixed. Even when its fixed it wil be the ultimate exscape tool. they'll statis you and then force run 2km out by the time you get your movement back. Either than you completely heal and your back to square one again.
but hey, give the jedi a break, there are 2x the number of MBH running around now, so maybe its their bone until they get all the bugs out and the BH fotm wears off.

I was MLS / Master Enhancer / 4004 Heal when the CU hit and I played with that template for a few days and as of 2 days agoStasis was still broken like a number of our other skills. I dislike the new system just like 80-90% of the other people playing, but why are we complaining about a skill that doesn't work. Don't forget that if you root a Jedi and run away and start kiting him you might see them vanish when they turn Force Cloak on. But then you can just send your Bomb Droid in since it's broken too. At least your skills work, you can wear armor, you can resist saber damage, and I've talked with BHs that have weapons that have a damage per second that make my best saber look like a glowing reinforced combat staff.
and yet we both seem to be able to kill each other. so the world is not ending.

Stasis is a Jedi Defender root attack. It roots you and makes it so you can't attack, moveor do any action for upwards of 20 seconds. In its current state the stasis ability is practically an "i win" button for jedi that have it. Don't bother fighting high level jedis until this gets fixed, because if they use stasis on you you're SOL.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Stasis is a mes attack. Stasis does not now work nor has it ever worked, in test center or live.

I agree that it would be best that we completely stop the adversary's attributes from regenerating, as well. I will tell you, also though, that I've had tremendous success with a tactic (in one-on-on) that does root/drain (rinse/repeat), then hit them with stasis over and over ....
... while you wait on them, do /sit ... /forcemed - maybe throw in a channel here or there.
The opponent gets peeved off by this tactic, but what they're constantly doing is channelling force while in stasis ... when they pop out after a few episodes of this - they have REALLY low health bar(s). Throw on an armor break, and hit twice to victory ... gets 'em everytime.
... OH, one more thing - can someone double-check the timer on Stasis ... has it really been cut to 20 seconds?
