Thread: Totally OWNED by 3 darkblue /con Imperials!!?
OK, i haven't played on my shadowfire char for a while. Yesturday I decieded to do a little hunting on Tatooine and was going about my business as usual when i came across an imperial medic and two lower ranking officers. With my scatter equiped they were all white con (even match) mobs so I figured I'd whip out the flamethrower and administer an asswhupping. At this point they all con as darkblue mobs meaning that in accumilatively they would be around a single yellow con mob. Nothing a little bit of tactics can't solve i figure. So I open fire and start blasting from range at the medic to ensure he can't heal anyone, he's down to half health and I realise that I am getting totally and utterly hammered here.
So i run into closer range, get ready to administer a flamecone and then notice my health down to a sliver. I pop a stim which gets me back to almost full health and within another 4 seconds these 3 imperials have totally and utterly wasted me without me causing them bearly any damage. I figured it was a one off and felt lucky they didnt DB me. I healed up and tried again... dead within around 10 seconds and only managed to get a single flamesingle special onto one of them.
Now frankly this new CL rating system is fairly accurate when it comes to resistances and HAM however when i looked at the combat spam I realised that these enemies are now using specials a hell of a lot more. It wasn't that bug which causes them to use around 8 at once, this was normal combat. I'm all for creating smarter enemies but these mobs were hitting for around 600 points of damage using overcharge shot meaning that it was no wonder the 3 of them were utterly anihilating me. Frankly the con is way off now that specials are more common, the damage mitgation might be helpful but it'd need to be much higher to benefit at which point these mobs would probably be lightblue or green. Something needs to be done to either make commando's actually capable of killing something that is now a blue con NPC or they need to fix the con system to take specials into account.
the con system has been broken for a long time.
just check their ham bars, resists and type of mob. that should be enough.
any humanoid npc 5k+ ham now will use lots of specials on you. the higher its resist the deadlier they get. aka NS ranger. BRRRR.
and I LOVE the new system. I was delighted when a stormtrooper lobbed a proton grenade at me. I was like..WHOA. *fired rocket launcher in return*. WOOT.

You can target them, then justhover your cursor over their HAM bars in the upper right corner of your screen.
