I just dueled a jedi after regrinding my template. I was incapped in 5 hits. This jedi was hitting me for 1200 a few times. My armor is 7150 on engery + 2300 on my PSG. I noticed after my duel my PSG was still at 100%. This leads me to belived that the jedis saber was not doing engery type damage but something else all together.


Is anyone else finding their engery protection useless againts some jedi and their sabers? BTW He did not use armor break

He was doing armor break. It wasn't working until this last publish. It causes his damage to bypass armor for a certain amount. Right now the only thing in-game that I know of that mitigates armor break's effectiveness is the 75% armor break slice that smugglers can do to armor. I've only read about it on the smuggler faq and don't know how it exactly works. I'm itchin' to run some tests.

Master Sabers is a Beast now. I'm MBH/ MCarb/ CM 4000 and to be honest, I can't seem to kill a MLS. If they temp is MLS/ ME, I'm done for in under a minute.

dont even listen to this guy. he didnt even fully read your post.

as for armor not working. check your combat log and see how much was mitigate by the armor.

I read it. He edited it.


I still think he's mistaken about the armor break. He obviously doesn't know that PSG's don't mitigate lightsaber damage, so he most likely is mistaken about the use of armor break, because armor break is the only thing that could bypass his armor like that. If he had looked at his combat log, he would see that his armor was only mitigating like 200 damage.

PSGs don't block melee, only ranged. Simple as that.

This is what leads me to believe that he wouldn't know if armor break was used on him or not. BTW, the Jedi who implied I don't know what I'm talking about clearly has a vested interest in bounty hunters not coming up with a solution to counter armor break, so don't listen to that Jedi.

Might as well wear a PSG anyway. Gives +10 Ranged Acc. for the Imp Prototype ones.

One of your options somewhere in CTRL-O is for verbose combat spam. Sorry I don't recall precisely where.

It's usesful to have turned on.

Get your armour sliced with an armour break reduction, it can go to 75% reduction
