Thread: Kinetic Damage Why the emphasis?
Sometimes a Jedi will use a PSG if they dont have an uber belt. The smart BH will always have a backup Kinetic Weapon for when you see the green flashes around a mark

what he said too
At the moment I wouldn't be surprised if PSGs are bugged. I was wearing one when my guild made a trip to the avatar platform. I noticed that even though I'd been wearing it the whole time, and it was at zero condition, it was still absorbing damage after about an hour of nearly constant fighting. At least I presume it was absorbing damage, it was still lighting up every time I go shot, and my BH armor(yes I'm an idiot for wearing it up there, lost 20K condition on my pants alone) was absorbing over 50% energy damage, which I don't think it should do at 4500 energy resist.
It's tough to tell if this is the case against jedi though, master defenders absorb so much damage to begin with it's difficult to tell what's bugged and what isn't. I know I was dueling an Mdef in my guild and he was rendering my very nice HLR useless, the very last shot I took after about a 10 minute duel he still absorbed 604 of 806 energy damage. I have to presume some of that was still PSG because I don't think innate armor can reach 75% resist on it's own.
