I dont think half of us would be here if it were not for the melee proffs.

Go watch the first hour of ROTJ and tell me melee doesn't belong in the Star Wars universe.

read the books guys...they have reference to many vibro weapons, such as lances, axes, and knucklers, all used by melee....and they also have a book that states that most jedi have some tera kasi artist training.

You also have those sick individuals who like getting up close and real dirty in their work. Without melee we'd be insinuating that serial knife maniacs and sword wielding psychos don't exist anymore.(Good thing or bad thing, it's your choice.) If you take a look at now a days, guns rule things now with an iron fist. Yet every soldier is giving hand to hand and melee training and are issues melee weaponry. Then you have to figure in the economic costs. It's cheaper to stab someone with a shank than getting a pistol. lol

Contunitity went out the window a LOOOONNNGGGG time ago for this game. Just go with it and wait for everyone to get nerfed down to the lvl of CH. Then if you still dont like it, thats just to bad.

YEAH WHY ARE THE BEST PROFS IN THE GAME MELEE?? I MEAN THE GUN USED MOST IN THE MOVIES ARE PISTOLS AND CARBINES YET THESE 2 PROFS ARE NEARLY THE WEAKEST COMBAT PROFS IN THE GAME





You should've been around right after launch when pistoleer was the premium prof in the game. A pistoleer/smuggler owned everything. There wasn't a useful melee prof in the bunch. Then TKM got fixed, and it was way overpowered. Then fencer defences got fixed, and fencer started to own. For awhile commando's were overpowered. Even today, rifleman are one of the most powerful progessions in the game.


The guns were used most in the movies, but from what I recall, no one could ever hit anybody. So they were used often, but were very weak. Sorta like how they're weak in the game. Now had you mentioned BH, who uses both pistols and carbines, being too weak given their role, I would've agreed 100%.


So I suggest you look at the whole progression, not just the here and now, and look at upcoming changes.
