I just started hunting jedi after this stupid publish that got rid of names and prices and stuff in the terms. I been MBH/MRFL/NovieCM for a while now... My friend just transfered over from lowca so we can dual against some jedi. Come to find out that we can only go one on one now? How am I suppose to learn how to fight jedi when all the ones I have gotten are full template 1 shotters?
My in game name is Estevoni and if some jedi see that name they are gonna be like oh yeah that guy dropped like a fly... I don't know where I am getting at on this post, but I feel that I am being cheated out of learning how to hunt jedi.
So maybe I can ask pro bounty hunters, should I just keep trying to win against jedi knights + or give up until they do something about this. EVERY jedi I have encountered I havn't been able to stand a single ounce of chance. I am sporting BH armor and a LD-1 rifle by the way.... I just don't know what to do.

Keep in mind I only started Hunting Jedi on July 6th of this year (I have been around since launch but left the game for a while). My record is in my sig. I sometimes do not fightlike 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
Good luck.
