Fought a jedi with my new temp today. Switched from Mbh Mcarb pistol 0404 to Mbh Mcarb cm 4000.My mark was on dant running missions. I was buffed had eaten all my foods and had a SAC pup on my carbine. My mark has already taken damage from the surrounding bols so I thought I was going to get my first real jedi kill. I start attacking but he ignores me completely. I get him down to around 1/3 health and then all of a sudden his health went up to full and stayed that way the rest of the fight. My carbs not the best but its still pretty good, about 498-971 damage and 1.6 modified speed. With the SAC pup it gets down to 66 SAC. I was able to continually spam improved leg shot and critical shot with an occasional charged shot thrown in, but he'd heal himself instantly. He continuedon to the next lair and I followed him for longer than I care to remember. I guess finally he ran out of force or was just tired of me because he decided to attack me and I was only able to last for about a minute. I checked mycombat log afterwards and he was only taking 30% of the damage thathit.He was a nice enough guy and didn't rub it in (although his groupmates did) but this just doesn't seem right. I probably couldn't beat him if he was afk running macros. Whatam I doingwrong? Any advice would be helpful.

The answer is a resounding "NO" you are not that bad. It takes some work to get better.
I sometimes do not fight like I advise but that has come with getting more experience, what I recommend here is what you should do for the first 10 kills or so, then you can start to develop your own style and tactics....
1. only attack if you have achieved complete and utter surprise.(meaning you can frontload a alot of damage, getting a clean KD, followed up by a Torso , ADV Crti combo, followed by stopping shot , Torso, ADV crit combo as an example. This will guarantee the jedi to be in a defensive position after the the first strike. You have forced him to think of only two things at this point, running or healing first AND then coming after you.
2. Only engage if the Jedi, in addition to being completely surprised, is not buffed or his force is down, or he is engaed by MOBS or creatures. Even if you achieve utter surprise like #1 above but the jedi is not in a tough spot (in other words he is buffed and not distracted or engaged by other PvE activities) you can still lose dramatically even if you cause massive damage before reaction, so DON'T engage and follow this rule.
If you follow these two rules and drop the mission whenever you can not engage with these parameters, you will achieve success . There is nothing wrong in doing this. This is the BH way and Jedi's are 1.5 stronger for this reason.
3. Learn about foods and how they best compliment your personal template, seek out high energy resit armor, slice it for Armor break if possible. Find a good weapon with high damage that you can slice for speed. Add a power up to the weapon to let it produce even more damage (so cap damage with weaponsmith and Power up, slice speed).
4. Add a duelist macro this will help alot as well, here is one I found on this forum:
/duelists;
/pause 26;
/alarmaddin 0 0 STOP, DUELIST!!
/pause 1;
/macro Duelist
/duelists;
/pause 26;
/alarmaddin 0 0 STOP, DUELIST!!
/pause 1;
/macro Duelist
