Commando Archive

This post is not a moan...more of a question.

I'm a 3 0 4 0 commando and have had nades specially made for range (+32 at 30m). I've also got a +10 thrown weapon accuracy AA in my armor.

So tonight we got jumped by 6 djk's at the aggro outpost on dant and I thought what a good opportunity to try them out Out of about, what must have been, 50 nades not one hit.

In an ideal situation you'd be aiming at the overt person next to the jedi. I was aiming at the DJK's because they're wasn't anyone about to AOE off to hit them.

So my questions are:

(1) Are they considered ranged weapons and hence the jedi had 85% blocking rights?
(2) Are jedi just very difficult to hit even with Master Commando mods, tapes and AA's?

Once, loooong ago, before our FT DOT nerf...

My guild's town was under attack, and we were defending. I managed to get a good cone2 off, and had most of the enemy solders running for their lives... I cut them off at the other end of a bottleneck near or clone center and shuttleport. I tried to do another cone to do them in, but hit the wrong button in my toolbar throwing a proton grenade at one of them.

Much to my surprise, IT HITS(!) and immediately incaps 4 out of the 7 of them in one shot . The remaining two see me, and come zooming at me only to be mowed down by my riflman friend's strafe shot .

On a separate occasion, much later on, some Dark Jedi had entered our town and destroyed our turrets. There were 5 of them, and two of us (myself and a riflman), both unbuffed. One of the jedi, for some reason, pulls out a little mouse droid. I look at it, look at my toolbar, and I decide I know what has to be done in the name of the Rebelion...

I hit that little sucker with a rocket just as one of the Jedi's mind buffs runs out... one master head shot 3 to him, and he was corpsed . BOOyah!

Nades and heavy weapons are somewhat useful, though a suicidal mindset is often required. You just have to ask yourself, "Is my freedom worth my life?" (or for Imperials "What is the value of a single life when order itself is at stake?")

the acc mod works, but 3000 is not enough...with mid range grenades (ideal acc@20m) I miss one or two shots out of ten on a jedi.

1) Saberblock counts as a dodge, if your Combat spam says "You hit [Jedi] for xxx points of damage but they block it!" then it was a blocked hit. A miss is a miss.
2) Not really. It's not that difficult to hit Jedi with anything, they have pretty crappy defence. Only 95 Ranged Defence at Master Defender, and that's with the enhanced reflexes tree. Without the 0/4/0/0 Enh Reflexes or 0/4/0/0 Defender lines, Jedi have zero ranged defence other than saber block.
3) Don't forget, Grenade range is buggy. They actually have a 32m cap, but if you throw at over that, you just use a gren and miss automatically instead of getting an out of range error.

Maybe it is just broken for Heavy weapons because my own testing shows no difference with any heavy weapon.
