How does hurling a lightsaber only do 16 points of damage? what defensive foods/buffs/stacks did you have?
Sorry, I'm quite new to carbines and I am just curious, I never thought it was possible to take out a jedi sentinel with a ranged weapon.
The Jedi Sentinel title may be bugged - a lot of Jedi are abusing the FRS system and paying people to DB them so that they can keep up with the maintenance required to level in the Knight Ranks.. he could have had it at one point and dropped lower.
As for the 16 points of damage.. notice that its a default attack. Those are usually weaker. Furthermore, against melee mitigation 3, Jedi don't do all that much damage (any melee classcan easily withstand a 1st Level Knight.) They never hit for more than 200-300 or so with a Premium Crystal saber.
Finally, it might not have been a pearl or premium saber? The Jedi was clearly looking for easy FRS XP, so they may have equipped a low Force Cost saber that does very little damage.
Low-level sabers (1st, 2nd and 3rd generation) are pretty weak against those with Melee Mitigation or "toughness". I saw a Jedi Padawan get his butt kicked by a few spineflaps using a training Saber, so it all depends on how skilled the Jedi is and what kind of crystals/resources used in the saber crafting.
You're right - a standard Carbineer would normally have a very hard time against a Jedi Sentinel.
