ok thats just wrong...none the less they can block flame throwers..havent tried grenades yet..but im sure they can block them...bah..jedi ruin the game..oh well..back to the mokk slaughtering

In my opinion, Heavy Weapons should not have the PvP reduction on them. I used a Rocket Launcher on an unbuffed, unarmored player once and it took two hits to kill him.

I don't see how 4k of damage could be seen as overpowering after armor, buffs, and misses.

Same argument could be made for any weapon, such as being hit in the throat by a master swordsman with a katana. By the game's mechanics, it would take him 4 or 5 hacks to kill you, so even after being cut in the throat 3 times, you could still burstrun away.

The real issue is with accuracy, especially because if you fire a rocket near an enemy it should do enough damage even if it hits the ground near their feet (ala FPS games).

Some people are saying that grenades are NOT being blocked. Might be worth a try. A thermal detonator or proton grenade could probably damn near oneshot one of these punks.

Hmmm i dont know about one shot kill, but I know they have killed me in the past. Of course I was the one throwing them. At any rate the problem is that people are putting too much into the force right now. I say a Jedi should be strong, but not invincible which is what they are wanting. There are many who are incredibly upset that they cannt block melee attacks and only ranged ones. Hence why almost every BH is taking up TKA. I am just getting really tired of the whole, "Jedi should always win because they could do *blank*." You cant use movies as a reference anymore because right now we are far from continuity and people need to start realizing that. This game is in an alternate universe where seeing a Jedi is probably ranking up with seeing a master commando. I could bring up some other things but I dont want to get incredibly off topic. I will sum it up with saying that a Jedi should not be able to block grenades or RLs etc. They need to have their weeknesses and this should be one of them.

As I pointed out in another thread, a jedi with force armor will almost completely nullify the damage of a proton grenade (FYI I did 50 pts of damage with a grenade to a jedi with force armor 2). The HAM and accuracy of these weapons dont justify using them at the moment.

Ster, you are right.

I remember in Episode 2, there were a lot of dead Jedi all around the stadium grounds. So, Jedi are not invincible, and they can't block every shot. They do die. Hmmm........Didn't the Mandilorians hunt Jedi years ago? hmmm......so the Jedi are not Gods and should not be able to play in God Mode.
