I've seen screenies were BH's have hit for 1200+ so quit crying.
No but thats ok and to him thats balanced!
A pre CU sabre against armor with 5-6k energy resists ie assault armor, with no AB slice/hardening , also while KD and not using mitigation foods (synth and exo), no ranged defense foods, that damage is probably about normal.

Now i'm a happy go lucky bh and am not saying this jedi cheated. But the perfect saber club is getting on my nurves now. They cannot be solo'ed by any bh..... why well in 4 seconds i got hit for about 4.3k damage.http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=305302&poll_id=0&warned=yNo time stamp but look at the fire dot. Dots every 5 seconds i believe and these attacks hit me well inside its tick so i estimate them to be around 3-4 seconds from first attack to last.Now yes i agree that most new jedi cannot output anywhere near this damage but how i ask (even with our so called uber healing as mcm's or docs) can we even hope to stand against that./bow to jedi who killed me, call you self ubber if you like.Comments welcome, and clicky pleaseOrran Behime (flurry)Message Edited by Laney_1uk on 08-31-2005 12:10 PM
I agree that these "uber" pre-cu sabers need to be taken out of the game. It's a little ridiculous when a jedi hits you for over 4000 damage before you can get in your volley of attacks basically. How in the world does that put up ANY kind of a fight at all? I personally won't hunt jedi because of this...its pretty much a waste of time.
I'm happy doing npc boss missions personally.
There is nothing UBER about any lightsaber, STONE SWORDS do more damage now. And that guys armor was really crappy. Jedi is a very broken and underbalanced profession, the DEVS have even stated this numerous times now.

Top this with the fact that most of the jedi are MDEFS/defender variant (this particular jedi wasn't though) and we can only hit them for a max of 500 whilst kd'ed makes for a one sided fight indeed.
When did PLM change his template? Last I remember he was proud to be an AI spamming defender.
My question to you folks is why should these sabers be nerfed? Most of these sabers are owned by veterans who worked hard to get their pearls to make the saber the way it is. When the cu hit, my legendary t21 was still quite legendary. Yes not everyone had a gun like that, but my point is, if we were lucky enough to collect it pre cu, why should we be punished just because some folks want to whine about it. Yes I say whine, because thats what it is. Boo Hoo, he did this much damage to me, thats not fair and unbalanced. I will also go to the other extreme, the Combat medics dont need nerfed either. They are perfectly fine and people just need to learn how to fight them.
The biggest problem were have here gang, is instead of people learning how to play their specific profession, they expect soe to conform the game to make it easier for them. We need to quit with all these nerf calls and learn how to play our templates that we chose to play(for whatever reason we chose what we did).
Pre cu, I spent 5 straight months in the krayt graveyard farming pearls for my jedi. I worked many hours killing krayts to come up with the pearls I use in my saber. SOE has now removed these from the game, which I dont think is right, but not much I can do about that. Not all jedi have these types of sabers and the ones who do, you just need to learn some tactics to take us out. I can be beat, and have been many times. If you cant play your temp, quit hunting jedi til you can. Any good bh should be able to stand up to this.
Oh yea, on a side not gang, there are guns out there right now that will do the same amt of damage to a jedi that this guy was taking. So please, quit calling for nerfs and learn how to play your character. If you cant, I hear dancer isnt that hard of a profession to learn.
the reason is...most if not ALL CRAFTED weapons got converted into CRAP
CRAFTED pre-curb sabers however got converted to Uber weapons...
You're pretty far behind the times, there, bloodmonk.
Pre-CU sabers did convert to 0 action cost sabers, but then the developers put in a fix for that which gave them 100 action cost.
Now, pre-CU sabers are a touch better than post-CU sabers, because thespeed is a coupledecimal pointsfaster, and the damage is 20-30 points higher,than can be achieved while still getting 100 SAC in post-CU crafting, but they are hardly uber in and of themselves. Post-CU crafted 'normal' weapons are far better than their pre-CU counterparts after the conversion.
Most of the Jedi in my guild now have post-CU sabers that they crafted, because the extra damage of the pre-CU saber was not worth the extra five points of SAC that they could experiment away.
