So, now that we know ranged is useless against Jedi I've got a few questions.
Which melee profession is the most effective against Jedi?
Is Combat Medic useful against Jedi?
Any dabblers have any tips when going up against Jedi, tactics, group tactics, etc..?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, if SOE dosen't plan on doing anything about the Jedi population we need to handle it ourselves.

As it is all melee professions except pikeman work great against a jedi in my opinion its what you like. heres a quick layout of strengths and weaknesses of some of the porfessions in my opinion.
TKM
pros
Very fast attack and high damage per second
Unarmed Toughness
Good kds and state effects
self buff and fow
most jedi will have this and will most likley use it on a melee opponent (if there low level)
Cons
Dizzy kd nullified by jedi heal states and thakillo
no defenses like dodge or counterattack to help deal with a high level saber special
You become a pvp only vs jedi character seeing as you lack of multiple damage types and ap will take you out of most high level content as well as normal pvp during the current state of armor.
Fencer:
Pros
DODGE!! and cob fencer is very tough to hit especially if stacked with some pistoleer dodge and state defenses
Good damage per secodn with a good gaffi or stun baton but must rely on acklay bones
Good in regular pvp
im sure there are some others btu its to late to think of them
Cons
You will be in a damage duel with the jedi and you cannot target mind which he can
jedi use this while leveling stacked with teras kasi so low level jedi will have the same defense and will probably be fighting you with fencer
Lack of higher ap make you the tank in pve due to your dodge skill (i place this in cons since i really don't like just being the tank
Swordsman:
Pros
Very good damage weapons ( i personally carry a scythe blade that is 268-480 2.7) meaning you cna compete with the high damage of a saber
can target mind and while a jedi can heal this after healer 1000 it will still probably be the lowest pool
very effective poster down attacks.
Good defenses if stacked with pistoleer you recieve plus 75 to kd and 60 to dizzy with the rest around 50
Very effective in high level pve such as krayt hunts can deal good damage to ns elders
Cons
Hard to achieve the dps of the previous 2 without skill attachements
Damage relies on a scythe blade which is a looted schem and that scyteh needs to recieve a high damage slice
without pistoleer defenses llower defenses than the previous 2 professions
lack of status effects
Pikeman
Pros
Can use all sorts of DOT weaponry including very high strength mind fire lances
looks cool
recieves you sympathy
Cons
Jedi can heal diseases and poisons and a fire dot at master healer
Target action
Low accuracy weapons
damage not on par with swordsman
Hit 3 is a posture down rendering it not as effective
Lack of defenses
heres soem good complements to a melee bh
pistoleer 0044
tka 4000 (note is already available if you choose the tka path
medic 0040 ( able to heal all except mind very well)
well thats about all i can think of hope this helps.

yeah against high lvl jedi ranged is poopy, but against higher lvl jedi, will melee and what not work just as good? Possibly, I still beleive there is plenty you can do against low lvl jedi with some of the bh abilities. Rate of fire, fire dots, and the random pool hits are awsome against jedi since you can usually land 1 out of 7 or 8 shots against an x/x/x/4 lightsaber jedi, besides a good offense, the only other defense ability a bh has is the ranged abilities.
Since jedi are essentialy weaker and take a lot more damage then they did befor the revamp, being a tka will pretty much guarentee you a victory unless the jedi is very close to completing knight trials or in the council.
At least 4 out of 11 elite combat professions can take down jedi very easily (thats actually 36% of elite combat professions that can take out jedi easily), its just too bad BH wasnt at the top of the list.

So I finally attained Investigation 3 after putting it off for about 2 months as I sat on level 2 and procrastinated. Anyways now that I can go after PC Jedi, I been wondering exactly how it works. I know you get them from the same terminals, but is it neccessary to still get their DNA from SpyNet? Do you have to go to certain ones for them only or will the Level 2 SpyNet guys work? Probe and Seekers are still needed I take it to track them if I don't know their location? Thanks for your help in advance.

Total cash cost for cloning/insurance/food/buffs/travel/bots: Between 25k - 35k.
Having to grab a tray because you've been served.......priceless.

It works just like npc missions. Now that you have invest 3 you will need to see a level 3 spynet operative. The most convenient ones that I have found are in Bela Vistal, Corelia- next to the cloneing center, and Kadara, Naboo-at the end of the buiilding to the right of the starport. Wish i had some wp's for you 
Good luck and hope you slaughter em

Ok, first you'll need to wait 4 - 10 minutes to go to coronet. Then wait 5 - 10 minutes in a buff line so you can pay about 12k for buffs. After that you'll need to wait 4 - 10 minutes to get to kaadara so you can grab the mission.
Then what you do is, get the mission on a jedi (they pay 15k, less than an npc mission). Then you get the bio sig as usual, move to about 200m or so outside a city and launch a probe droid. After that crashes you give it the bio sig and it'll go back up. In about 1 - 2 minutes you'll get the name of the planet the jedi is on. Wait about 4 - 20 more minutes to get to that planet. Send out a seeker and within about 1 - 2 minutes you'll start getting updates on the jedis location. Once you get to the jedi (or before) you'll need to pop about 1 - 4k worth of food.. that's if the jedi is attackable by you, which is is only about 50 - 60% of the time.
You'll have racked(wracked?) up about 20 - 25k or so now worth of buff/food/travel/bot costs. Already destroying any reward you might get for killing the jedi.
Once you get to the jedi you'll need to launch an MSE droid to have any hope of damaging him/her (another 6k or so). After that booms you watch as the jedi blocks 85% of all your shots, and the jedi or any gank squad he might have kills you.
Total cash cost for cloning/insurance/food/buffs/travel/bots: Between 25k - 35k.
That's pretty much how it's done.

I know this type of question has been asked almost a thousand times, but because the search isnt working right i dont want to constantly hit refresh in the hopes that the search works. Well i just became MBH and i killed my first jedi, out of 5 missions 
.. But i was wondering what other profession to combine with MBH/CM 4000. Also what weapon would be useful against a jedi.. Thnx in advance.
