Thread: Tactic or Exploit...??

I pull a mission on a known cloaker/Master Enhancer who uses Stasis well.
To counter this I bring a friend and have an open duel to deal with the Stasis and break the effect.
When i fall under the Stasis effect my duel partner hits me breaking it, allowing me to continue to assault the mark..
In my opinion the duel partner can in no direct way harm the mark, he is there strickly for my benefit...
If this is an exploit then you can say the same about bringing a ranger along in the future to assist you with uncloaking the mark..
The Jedi need to stop crying, and give credit for innovative play, invincibility was not intended, so dismiss the thought...
Just posted this to get some opinions... flame away but remember, im trying to be innovative not exploit!
I asked a CSR about this because it was being used against me, and the answer was, no its not an exploit to duel a friend to break stasis.

Dont listen to a CSR. because half of them talk bullsh!t im not one to give advice that may hurt the proffesion in anyway but it is a exploit the BH tef should stop any outside interfearnce Duels included
This was not a bounty hunter fight but normal PvP, so do u think its ok to do in normal PvP but not in BH vs jedi?

Your origional post implied that it WASa bounty hunter fight when you said "I pull a mission on a known cloaker/Master Enhancer", but either way its still an exploit.
- Your using the duel mechanics for something it was never designed to do.
- Your using 1 game mechance to BREAK another one.
- your breaking the rules of BH tef by recieving outside help
To counter this I bring a friend and have an open duel to deal with the Stasis and break the effect.
It is very lame to say the least. Just as bad as jedi that use friendly duel db to get around BH jedi kill xp loss. As one poster put it : "your breaking the rules of BH tef by recieving outside help".

1. Rangers cannot CURRENTLY break cloak, however they will in the future.
2. Dueling somone else during a BH TEF is an exploit... no matter what your intention. BH TEF is supposed to overide all others. Just like a Jedi dueling a buddy so his friend can get the DB so he doesn't get xp loss. This is no different. Your duel is not supposed to be allowed because of BH TEF.
3. If this were GCW PvP..... it's grey area. You are not actually breaking a TEF, because you can still duel and do GCW at same time..... but.... I dunno. I've done it in gcw before.... and I didn't see the problem. Mostly because you are allowed to have friends heal you and aid you in gcw pvp.... but not in BH pvp.
4. BH / Jedi PvP is supposed to be 1 v 1.... not 1 v 1 + helper.
Is your friend providing you with helpful action?
If yes, then you are exploiting the system.
