at te mo I can hit a jedi for more than 2k, more often on his action pool.
Its good enough for me. Get em stunned and blinded by a tka, get accurate and nail them. throw in grenades, launcher pistols, DOTs and bomb droids and they are meat.
Learn your prof, then maybe we can have a meaningful conversation

To do all that wouldn't you have to be a Commando/Smuggler/TKA and you would have enough skill points to master TKA and Commando, but only for a couple of boxes of Smuggler (you need at least novice Smuggler to get the Bomb Droid cert)...
That would leave you open to not being able to heal yourself via having Medic...so, combined with our slow speed, combat queue delay, poor accuracy, the fact that grenades do us damage, and armor is vunerable to lightsaber attacks, I'd say Commando isn't the greatest choice to take for Jedi Hunting...sure Grenades currently work well, but only against a Jedi that isn't in your face and isn't running towards you...if they get you in the radius range of the Grenade, you take the same amount of damage as the Jedi PLUS you suffer the high HAM cost...so Grenades are iffy at best...
If I wanted to be a Jedi Hunter/Fighter, I'd probably stay clear of Commando or just get 4000 of commando and go more with ranged attacks to keep out of lightsaber range...they pump up my defenses to curb the impact of the "Thrown Saber" attack...
And this doesn't even take into consideration all the HAM changes coming down the road...

Hmm I know of some HAM changes. Like the fact that you can't use specials all day and get them healed because there adding a new secret bar. I'm sure most of us knew that already. The only thing that is really gonna help (although it'll be nice to say bye to tumblers) is the fixing of buffs. Thanks to these things we have become imbalanced. Yes I'm getting somewhat off subject, but you'll see. See because we got buffs and are uber comp we have to have SBDs with 200k of HAM which is outrageous compared to an ST with only 8k of HAM. We all know SBDs have been throw in just to keep us from getting bored. However buffs interfere with our power and others basically making us a bunch of suicide nuts. We all know how some professions are overpowered and how stupid jedi is being only worthwhile to the power gamers who don't know anything about jedi.
Until buffs and comp armor are nerfed this game will be broke. Buffs and comp put you on a completly new level of power. I probably can't solo a place like the detainment center, but with buffs and comp it takes me 5-8 min. there's no way I can solo a Bull Rancor, but with buffs and comp I can. See where I'm going. Things that players shouldn't be soloing are being soloed. Dathmoir use to be scary and creepy now it's a tourist attraction. Doctors are buffers who should really be more concerned with healing, and curing, and rezzing than buffing people.
All I'm getting about this magical "revamp" is somethin added to the HAM bars, some fixes to specials, and new mods. Ooo wow. This should've been fixed this summer. The Devs just keep making excuses. They've always got an excuse. I have little to no faith in them. Sorry, but the only good things I see from them are the patches which bring more bugs more often than not. Where ever they got this idea that if they take more time to do somethin it's gonna be perfect is so incredibly stupid. They are still human and they aren't gonna catch their mistakes until they've made them not matter how much testing they do, cause something always goes wrong when it goes live. They need new management. The way they run things is just poorly done. The Devs got talent, but it just is not being directed right.
I'm not gonna rant anymore about this since I know by now your all tired of this. And to this I will add lucasarts is being dumb. They always approve stuff, but they don't seem to check up on it. I just can't see how lucasarts goes about how they do things (here's the SBD example again) when an SBD could easily kill over 15 normal stormtroopers. That doesn't seem sensible. See lucasarts doesn't know this. They probably have no or little idea what NPCs HAM are so when the Devs go "Oh it will have 200k of HAM so players will fight with it for a minute or two. Lucasarts goes "Oh well that sounds right, I mean players are just common adventurers." But they probably don't remember that AT-STs only have 55k HAM. Or that people can slap people like the Emperor all day, but not a stormtrooper.
Ok now I'm done. Sorry, but I can't wait months of my life for things to change. I call it a waste of life. I still have fun in game, but it is becoming harder and more annoying everyday to go to Kor Vella and see Stormtroopers with con green stars instead of white. And all the other bugs in game, that i have to hope will be fixed. Do I expect a perfect game, no, but I don't want to have to keep putting up with bugs that I'm paying for to be fixed.
Sorry I had to vent, and I figured that ya all at least would somewhat agree or understand.

I think the the cr is going to be something major like my synergy idea because if its just a few fixes think about how many players the would loose after all the crap about waiting I mean we may be guillible or tough but even rats can be trained to avoid actions that give them pain.
