"Dueling is what got you in trouble in the first place, you don't want to get into trouble again."

So....I am irritated because I wanted to pull some Jedi that were dueling out in Theed, but I couldn't find them on the terms for some reason.

I decide to take up a mark that I've seen around...A 223k Jedi. I figure, at least he is probably online and willing to fight. So I take the bounty, run to the SpyOp and launch a droid...He is on Dantooine, imagine that?

So, off to Dantooine MO I go. I get there and hit my target macro and nothing pops up. Launch a seeker and find that he is about 1.5k from the MO. I jump on my swoop and head out. When I get about 200m from him I see that he and a group are fighting some Pikets, so I store my swoop, hit prone/cover and start to crawl.

Somehow I manage to get about 65m from him and notice him take some damage...I pop my foods, buffs, equip my weapon, aim, and fire my sniper shot. It lands for about 1.3k, followed by a knockdown and a startle shot. He stays down and I get him to about 1/3 of his health.

I run in and start spamming critical and headshot. He gets a break though and starts healing up. So, now it is time to fight...

To make a long story short, between about 45 knockdowns a piece, 10-15 roots, a bunch of startles, bacta shots, and stim Ds....

He jumped in a car and took off.

He said that he had about 90% of his force left and that I would have died eventually, which I didn't quite understand...Especially since I had about 50 ruby bliel, 300 stim Ds, tons of mind food, and he hardly ever got me below half health...

Anyways...after reading the "How to Kill Finished Template" guide, I did notice a few things I could do. For example, I have no attachments on at all..(Can't afford them). In addition, I am eating Won Won, Accaragm, Ruby, Neutron, and Swirl stuff...So, maybe I can manage my food a little better.

I think that using the bomb droid would have finished him off in the beginning..

One quick question though...I have a Krayted Lightning Rifle w/ 1100 max damage and 83 SAC, but I was out of Action the majority of the time.

Is there a better way to keep my action up? A different weapon, attachments, food?

Thanks for reading, I look forward to the advice.

If you're going to spam specials, 83 SAC is pretty high to do so. Throw a reinforced stock on there to get that SAC down and you should notice a difference.

I just read over on the WS forums that ranged shot and placed shot do the same damage over time as Advanced Critical and Improved Headshot. They don't take nearly as much action though, so you regen almost all of it, fire faster, and still have room for throwing in KD, root, startles, and states...

I'll start trying this as well. But if I can get my SAC down and still be able to fire my specials, I would rather do that. =)

Is a slice a good option on getting the SAC down or should I slice for damage and throw a PuP on there for SAC?

pups for your rifle definately...my rifle has 82 SAC base but pups get it down to 56/57. also, take bofa treats/blob candy/spiced tea if you're a healer. they add about 200 regen for 45 minutes to health/action/mind respectively

I have the same problem as you with the action bar. Once I use my specials its depleted rapidly. Any advice would be nice!

Buy some reduce action cost PU's.

Find a high quality gun with SAC 85 or lower. I have a gun that has base 73 and I can spam specials all day.

My best LLC is also 84 SAC and is considered very low by comparision on my server. IMO, it shouldn't matter if you run out of action. If you can't manage to get the kill in the first 20 seconds or so then your not gonna win.

Front loading damage is the only the way to go. A well planned sneak attack with a level 58 bomb droid/Sniper Shot/KD/Startle Shot/Critical Shot should do the trick .. works for me anyways.

There are 29% action power ups. Reinforced Stocks. Do a vendor search and then select misc - factory crate - reinforced stocks. Pick the highest % and you should get that gun down to 58 or better. You can spam all day with that. Mando wine and won wons will cap your regens. Short duration though. With Action power up you would be fine to take Blob candy, kanali wafers and spice tea. It will leave your food/drink stomach empty for exo/steaks, ruby, & any other thing you want to take.
