i dont understand how its possible, and i think it should be changed. jedi need to have weaknesses, its just plain stupid to make them imune to ranged damage in the star wars universe. i know how pointless it is referring to the films, but i must say, i never saw a power hammer or vibro knuckler in any fight sequences.
Anyway, seeing as how the jedi have just been revamped and any more changes would require a lot of work, i think that commando grenades, flamethrowers and rocket launchers should be changed to do melee damage, after all, heavy weaps can only use specials within melee range anyway. i think this is reasonabe as a rocket hitting you or the ground near you is if anything more unblockable than a punch or a sword.

Yeah..they can block FT's, LLC's, HRL's...but word is that they can NOT block grenades....give them a face full of proton grenades then see how strong they are...

But the grenades dont do that much damage to them. Besides I really think it is a bunch of bull to how much they can block. They already have Force Armor, and Heal Self which is more than nice. Did I mention they are upset that they cant block melee attacks? They should not be able to block any of our heavy weapons period. The thing is people cant equate things to the movie anymore since this game has already strayed so far from it. Besides that, not every jedi were really strong. The ones in the movies were exceptional and in the 1% of their rank. At any rate, it is just frustrating that all I hear is Jedi need to be stronger etc etc. How long have we been sitting here?Just tired of it.

Why can Jedi block a FT?......a Jedi is not a Nuna......therefore we wont even HIT the Jedi. I'm a little bitter right now.

I agree that jedi power in this game is ridiculous and its stupid that they can block a flamethrower - but changing all the heavy weapons to melee damage is a BAD idea. We already have a lot of trouble with regular meleers since we have to get close and have limited defense. If you change the flamethrower to melee damage, it will get seriously reduced by melee toughness and you'll never have a sliver of a hope of beating anyone.

the fact that they can block heavy weapons is really stupid... even in jedi academy, you can't block rockets or blasts from the concussion rifle, and youcan't block or even push back boba fett's flame thrower, and ours should be better than boba fett's because his isn't even a real flame thrower...

Been wondering this myself, I can fully see how you would block a laser, but a wall of fire? LOL yeah right, I blocked a wall of fire with my glowstick ....
I have been wondering if a Jedi blocks the flamer, do they still get the burn? I have not been a commando for a while, but I was a Master Commando for a long time and I enjoyed it a lot. I know when I was a commando, if a flamer was counterattacked/blocked/dodged, they still got the fire effect.

Actually, my problem with the jedi profession isn't about them being overpowered...it's about having too many of them running around. They're supposed to be rare! Not only that, but they're running around IN THE OPEN.

Why they can block it is not the question. The question is why there are jedi to block it in the first place.

its been a while since i was commando...but yea ive seen padawans and bh's...its just ridiculous cause the bh can barely hit the jedi and the jedi can heal away wht does hit him, but yea u do make a very good point as the point of a flamethrower is area dmg

yes it does seem rather SILLY that jedi can block all of ours attacks. i understand heavy weapons because normally a jedi would just force push it away, but flamethrower makes no sense no body should be able to stop a giant wall of flame coming at them.

agreed, i've never thought that jedi should be in the game, and if they were then WHENEVER they used their powers or saber in front one anyone then vader and a squad of troopers should appear andblast them away... but now, since SOE only buffs professions that will make them money, we're playing star wars: jedi galaxies...
