Thread: Can Anybody Tank Jedi?
Do ya'll find that standing still makes it easier to fight? i.e. Can you concentrate more on your HAM bar? Can you make sure you're macros and foods are working easier? Do you feel it makes the Jedi use Force quicker because they're actively using attacks?
I'm looking for decent analysis of these tactics, not just "yes I can".
I can sorta tank them as a MPistoleer BH. You have to be able to as a pistoleer, you can't go too far away from them. But you have to use your roots, knockdowns, disarms and intimidates. Keep them intimidated at all times.
Get 8000+ energy armor with 75% armor break slices.
You have to be able to heal so you need more than just stims, but you have to use stims as often as possible to conserve your mind. Use ruby bliel, synthsteak, mando wine and won won and you'll be able to last awhile if you are smart. But yeah they can spam powerhit awfully fast.
Are you kidding? Jedi is the easiest combat profession in the game to tank ATM! I have dueled a few people just for the hell of it and I have yet to win in anything but a stalemate. They deal almost no damage to me, but my saber, being a typical post CU Jedi saber, sucks, so I can't deal enough damage to them. End result:
I heal, channel force once or twice maybe...
They heal, not frequently enough to bring their mind bar down
My Defense and theirs means that no one ever dies in these little duels.
I had one person who was able to deal a significant amount of damage to me. Kept me healing constantly. I saw my mind dropping fast, and I was worried for a bit.... then he ran out of action. And that solved that. Want more proof? When the vis patch went live, I dueled three of my Jedi friends to celebrate. Everyone on me, one full template, two a good chunk of the way through. With Master Doc, a bit of defender and a touch of healer, I outlasted all three of them. Their force bars went out, but there was no way I could do any damage to them.
MOST Jedi are easily tankable, unless they have a Pre-CU saber with premium pearls in it.
Its nothing but a HEALWARS game. period. its not a matter of killing a jedi because of this or that. its healwars. dude has 1300 stims. i mean, its healwars. theres not skill in that. none. just seta heal macro. id actually like to see a skill fight.
I agree with the battle of heals in the post cu era. But your lack of skill comment. Do you think there was skill pre cu as well? Go ahead, enlighten us.

I've only ever been Master Bounty Hunter / Master Pistoleer, so I am curious if there are there templates that include Master Bounty Hunter (obviously) that can stand toe-to-toe with a Jedi during combat? Are there any interesting tactics involved?
Like any armed opponent. it's all about the quality of weapon in their possesion. If I am fighting a master defender yielding a poor quality sabre. i don't bother kiting. I stand there and let him burn his action / force spamming attacks on me. With my med droid I can keep up with heals easy.
You will know right away in the first few hits whether or not to stand and tank, or Kite.....
