call this a rant or what ever but just wanted to air my thought.


ok so i have been a BH for about 5 months now and love it.

the thought of going up against another person and not a ncp is very appealing as you never know what the other is going to do.


Anyway after this new publish i am now thinking of leaving, due to the fact that i cannot seem to kill any jedi any more!

As i said i have been a bh for 5 months have lots of kills and rex's under my belt but now cannot seem to kill anything above a 150k mission.


Example; saw a jedi talking to his friend about going to do the dark jedi master mob lvl 198. so i go get his mission a 226k one and go find them

i watched them for 10 min as my marks health went down and down. just as it was at about 0 i shoot him. nothing. he didnt incap.

So i carry on using conceal shoot and continu hitting him for 3 min. the 2 jedi killed the DJM and then he comes and kills me.


Ok so he was using force incap and had a full template, so after speaking to him we worked out that it would take a full group of MBH/Rifelmen 30 min of non stop shooting to kill him.


On another side i like to solo jedi so i usually stick at 150k missions, but recently now that the force heal is fixed every jedi seems to have this and i cant do enough damage to effect them (my t-21 usualy hits them for 1000 or more).


So i am sorry to say that i may be givving BH up as i just cant seem to kill jedi any more.


ANYONE else had a simular experiance?

You waited until he had 1 HP to attack?

it feels like fights are taking longer with the new publish...


Fought a jedi to a stalemate yesterday right by Nyms SP...Hard to say what the deal was though..Lag was horrid yesterday because everyone came out of the woodwork to check out the patch...I'd give it a few days or a week or so first...

Strange, I went after a 184k mark this AM and it was one of my easiest fights ever. Incapped in about a minute and got the DB in to get paid. Could be that his force was used up, he was out grinding but HAM was full when I attacked.

I felt like the lag was owning me yesterday...the fight was easy, but my attacks were coming off REALLY slow, so he had plenty of chances to heal before incap. I spoke to the jedi in tells after and he said he was lagging really bad as well..just something to consider as it can affect your damage output alot.

His ham might have been full but did you know Jedi lose about 300 (I think) hitpoints each time they use the channel command?


It regens over time at about the same rate as a heal but I have seen mine go down to as low as 1200. That's a pretty big disadvantage right there. You guys should pay more attention to the hitpoints as well as the over all health.


I got caught channeling one day and I had about 2000 hitpoints instead of 3000 and only 1/3 of a force bar. That was a BH waiting for the right time right there.

That can't be possible?!?!?! With their healing ability slighty, VERY slightly nerfed.

Sorry dude,but how does it take a FULL group(im assuming 8)of MBH/Riflemen 30 minutes of non stop shooting to take down a jedi?Avoid Incap only lasts for 30 secs(and u better refresh it every 20 seconds actually,its quite buggyand ifyou wait the full 30 youll be dead before using it again,i have been incapped with up to 8 seconds left on my AI timer)and costs 1000 force,so a full template using nothing else but AI can only use it 6 times,7 at best.That means a couple minutes in which you can barely crawl due to the new Snare nerf on AI.

it's possible if I was getting enough lag to slow my attacks...i had a full Action bar and I would blast him a bunch and take his health to almost nothing then myrate of fire dropped to where i would be running around for 5-10 sec with no attacks(no states or anything on me) and it kept happening consistantly...I guess that is is possible he had a disarm shot or something as he would pull out a rifle sometimes...but i was catching no states on my end. /shrug


I decided to wait and go back tonight and try again.

you should have waited until the DJM incapped him for you (to make sure he wasnt using Avoid Incap)


from reading this, you sound like a good BH that just had a bad day/mental lapse


dont quit - just keep at it and rejoice in the fact that jedi can't break our droids

lol sorry had to reply to the last post. DJM do not incap they insta DB. He did play it smart by waiting utnil the health was down under normal circumstances. However considering they were killing DJM which hit for upwards of 20k damage its safe to say he was running AI. Keep an eye on the targets buff icons under his name, it will save you much heart-ache and time. Oh and if you didnt know about AI i call complete BS that you have been BH for 5 mos.
