Hi there
I am a padawan with novice LS skills. I am hitting for about 2.5k with my gen 1 lightsaber on things like swoopers and low level mobs. I thought, great!, I'll try and do some damage on dathomir - lots of beasies i can kill with just a few hits - wrong - before I knew it I was a corpse.
Went for a nightsister stalker
My Hit: 500 damage - wth!?
Her Hit: 500 damage <---- ok so thats normal
Why has my damage come down this much? Lightsaber apparently penetrates all so what reason could there be for it reducing - I also noticed this on some other mobs too - which nearly cost me more negative xp.
To top it off i decided to have a duel against my swordsman friend who wasnt using centre of being.
He hit me for 500 mind damage every couple of secs. My lightsaber did 50! - Yes 50! damage to him but with a speed of a slow rifle.
Can anyone explain what im missing here - I realise that jedi should be harder at lower levels but why isnt the damage consistent?
Thanks

Why? There is a damage bonus to lightsaber specialsvs. lower level mobs so that leveling is easier for new Jedi. On higher level mobs we don't get the bonus.
You aren't seeing a damage penalty, but the lack of your usual damage bonus!

1) Light or Medium armor lower the dmg we do for a huge part
2) melee dmg mitigation reduces dmg we do for a huge part
3) this is a SOE Game
4) this is SWG
hehe, get used to it ... it wont get lot better

what armor your opponent has has no bearing on LS damage, (bar bugged PSG's with LS resistant) as all are vunerable to LS dmg, so armor piercing bonus's/penalties dont even come into the equation....

I died 3 times last night and 4 ran away.
I was doing ok for most of the fights that I lost. One Jedi started out doing 400 - 600 damage right away. The others were at 100 - 300 damage then went up to 400 -600 damaged and I died. Was this due to armor break or something else. I do not have my armor sliced yet. Just wondering what could do this so I can fix it.
thanks
ps i need a good slicer

With a 75% armor break slice, you will notice a huge difference in the amount of damage they do when they armor break you.

yes, i didnt really know how useful armor break sliced armor was until I got it.. it makes a world of difference.
