The lair thing was also an old patch note. The point of making lairs tougher was to keep people from blowing up the lair from 64m then /burst running away from the counter attacks. The point of doing more damage when the lair runs dry is to speed the dang destruction up a bit because there's no point to hitting an empty lair for a long time. Also it has been reported by some that the AP is indeed not working when used on things with LOWER armor than the weapon can pierce, AP2 against armor level 1 does less damage than against armor level 2 though it should be the opposite.I don't know that this has been confirmed by the devs though. Also some people were saying that armor no longer granted protection but that may be fixed already I don't know.

I can confirm that something is horribly wrong as well. I attacked a light blue mob (some new lizard thing) on Dathomire on the way to a rancor hunt, thinking nothing of it. It obliterated me in 5 seconds and had me running from the cloning center a minute later. I attacked a few more things and suddenly I'm the frailest wookiee in the galaxy. HAM just seemed to leap off my bars in big chunks. It felt like justpicking up my gaffi stick would cost me half my mind bar. It's as if I had no defense and HAM penalties were quadrupled. I was so weak I just acted as a healer at the rancor hunt. I can't begin to convey the frustration I felt.



I didn't think it was possible to make a fencer weaker, but it seems like the developers'months of hard work and research have culminated in a successful nerf.

Although we didn't get anything specificlally addressed to OUR issues in this patch (again). I don't really see the large setback a lot of you are discussing. I'm having no more trouble than usual with any creatures or anything. Armor was acting weird the night of the big patch but that seems to be back to normal. Keep on rockin' and I'm sure everything will work out.

i'm really no weaker than i've always been. i can still take out storm troopers with 10k hams with the right equipment. i'm only 0-3-1-1. i can't think of anything that was in the patch that hurt us. i only got benefits.

Normall when I hit Two hand hit III I'd do about 2k - 4k wth my powerhammer now I do between 800 and 1500 damage with that and normal hits would range from 400 - 1500 now they range from 200 - 800 baaad - needless to say that swords sux even worse...


Ohhh and just to let ya know I do more damage with pistol IV as a marksman now with my other character than I do as a master brawler + master heavy swordsman with a powerhammer - kinda rediculous ehh




WHAAAAT?!!!??! You can hit for MORE than 800-1500 damage with Pistol 4??!!!? What the crap?! That must be some friggen pistol you have to be doing that much. I could barely break 1000 withstopping shot when I had it!! How odd.

not that hard to do on Bloodfin


u can get a non-krayt fwg5 that does 205 max dmg. get good 30%ish slice, slap on a 33% max dmg power-up, and you got a max damage well into the upper 300s. with Krayt pistolsyou can get them over 400.


on the other hand, on old Tarqy the resources aint as good and the best fwg5 are max dmg like 179


so it depends ont he server.

I will remove all of my clothes to hit you better! Nudity saves!! Armor and Clothes kills!! I will laugh as you kite me, since you do not know the glory of the naked butterknife/stick wielder! Your pets will whine and cringe, licking at my unshod feet just before they DB me and still I will laugh! Why?! They are naked and do not wield a butterknife or carry a stick! Only a fool does not fully follow the true path of the Fencer! Long live nudity, sticks and butterknives!!!
