I have taken about 20 Jedi missions and not come close to killing one, the only time I even had a chance is when the Jedi ran from me and logged before I could finish him off.
I am a pre-CU MBH comming back to the game and it is horrible, I havent killed a Jedi since. My PVP rating has gone down to 900 something and my R.I.S is going to sh*t.....
I am a MBH/MCM/x-4-x-x Carbineer, I have a proton carbine aswell as enchancers for my DoTs and nothing has worked, I was even killed by a lvl 56 week old jedi, im am starting to be considered a joke by the few jedi who know me and its also starting to get depressing (im not really depressed, but annoyed to the fullest extent)
I have taken advice from many many people and none of it has worked, and then I come on here and read about people slaughtering jedi with the same strategy, and i dont know why or what I am doing wrong. I apply my debuffs, run away and then I get KD before I can heal and end up dying. At this point WoW is starting to look really good....I justdont know anymore, this CU has made some aspects of SWG more fun, and ruined the best part......Bounty Hunting, at least it has for me anyway.
Im really confused, I take advice and read strategys all day but I can never use them effectively.
Am I really a lost hope??

How are you hunting?
From start to finish what is your syntax,... especially when it come to the actual duel.

Get new armor made with the best energy resists that cna be had for combat armor. Get it all sliced 75% against Armor Break. It won't be cheap, but it will make a huge diff in incoming damage. Less you have to heal, the longer you last. YOu just have to outlast a jedi's mind with your temp.

Um... this may be obvious, but are you using KD recover? (I'm guessing that coming back to post-CU swg you may not know hehe)

On the real dude. If dueling is your problem... Food is a huge plus! Try to combo 4 or 5 foods. And try to keep a stun or dizzy on the jedi. Stun lowers there defense and dizzy lowers there attack damage.
Another huge plus is this.. DON'T USE ENERGY WEAPONS!
Energy weapons make up prolly a good 80% of all ranged weapons in game. Yes a good scatter pistol is helpful cause its kinetic. But look towards weapons that deal elemental damage too. Always fight with a PSG.(Personal shield generator) These can give at least a 1500 resistance increase to energy(Which is what damage a jedi does). Use attacks to set the tempo of the fight. If you have a root use it and get outta the saberthrow range. That is a jedi kd attack and its the 2nd most powerful jedi attack in game. Its best to range them. If a jedi roots you Prepare to heal heal heal.

The best defense is also a good offense. Remember jedi heals are timer based to so with that in mind doing damage that forces the jedi to heal more often then attack. Syn steak is a good food to spam for when the fight gets tough. Preferablly watch the damage you do. If you can stun/dizzy a jedi then KD him you then have his defense down and him laying on the ground. Use the kd specially when hes approaching 1/3 to half health. If a Jedi has AI, Just let him burn his force up.

Don't worry about it, I say. I've never won a duel against anyone, well maybe funny duels against crafters or noobs and such, but no real duels. I can't hit the broadside of a barn..
I'd suggest you just get some ruby bliels to up your heal rate, learn to kite well by hunting krayts (at least that's where i learned how to master kiting, outside of years of rangering), maybe change up caribeneer for pistols for a root as well?, but yeah, post how you fight and people will be able to help you more.

PSG's can't stop melee attacks. and mine is 2100 or something.

What do you mean jedi use melee attack? Im sure they do dude. Melee = close range. Light sabers are energy based. you do understand the fundamentals of energy , kinetic, cold , heat...etc.? I
And if your PSG is 2100 energy resistance and you are using a recon armor of like what 6k... then you have a total energy resistance of 8100. Now if the jedi drops his saber and starts punching you. That is kinetic damage by default. Unless they have changed the base type of a lightsaber since a few minutes ago a PSG works to mitigate damage from a jedi that is attacking.
