Has anyone sent their pets after one of Dark Jedi types ? I am curious to know if a matured Sand Beetle or some other pets could gang up and take down one. I have seen that they come with 90%-95% resist to everything with Armor ratings of 1 thru 3.

Just curious.

I have never sent a pet against a dark jedi. In fact I haven't encountered a dark jedi yet in retail. I can tell you that in the beta, 20 of us took on a dark jedi and we all were either killed or incapped with just a few minutes. They're very powerful. I'm not sure how a Giant Sand Beetle would do. If you try it, I'd like to hear though.

Did anyone even injure the Dark Jedi ?

Well, most CHs dont wanna risk it because if you fail the Jedi WILL deathblow your pets so its not a risk I'm willing to take quite yet hehe.

We may have done a little damage, but it was minimal if I recall. They may be a little easier to kill now though I don't know. They may have readjusted their hit points. All I do know is at that one point, we were lucky to be standing for even a few moments. Also, this was at a point when factories weren't working and many advanced weapons were not able to be made. So people often had only scout blaster pistols and nothing much higher than that. Nonetheless, they're not meant to be easy to kill.

Ah ! I didn't know they you deathblow your pet.

Best not attempt it until I am ready to replace them.

Anything that will deathblow you will deathblow your pet. And a fact that most people forget is pets are like players in this respect. 95% of the time people think pets "die" is when they get incaped. This simply isnt true. Your pet has to be deathblowed to die and then its PERMADEAD (as in deleted from yoru datapad).

Nope pets cant perma die, my pets had been DBed before they than do disapear but not from datapad, you can just make a camp and recall it. Right now its very easy for 1 CH to solo a Dark Jedi and I really hope it gets nerfed. Its not even exploit or anything just the way game works right now. Here is what you do:

Get 3 very tough pets like Archid Warriors, even for a dark jedi it will take a while to kill one.As soon as 1 of your pets dies or is incapedmake a camp, than store it and recall while other 2 still tanking.You now back to 3 pets keep doing this for about 10 hours and you will kill him.

LOL

I'll remeber that when I have 3 pets. I think they will nerf that before I get there

I was killing them in a group of 3 yesterday.. 1 master tka + novice squad leader, me master ch, novice tka with knockdown 1, and a pistoleer using pistol whip. It didn't stand a chance.

I saw a Dark Jedi Knight last night, he owned my giant sand beatle and greater rat combined HAM of about 15,800 in about 1 minute, he got me cause I saw him pull out his lightsaber and I wanted a screenie or it, instead I got punched onced and I died. lol

Last night, on Dantooine, I killed the following with just me and my pets:

• Dark Jedi (just north of the northern outpost) x4, ~15khp


• Force Archaist x8 ~13khp


• Untrained Dark Force Initiate x8 ~11khp


• Force Crystal Hunter x4 ~14khp

Each of these mobs spawns 4x in a specific spot. You kill one, and a few moments later another spawns. The first one is agro, the rest are not and just wander around. There is an entire cave filled with the bottom 2, though parts of the cave are blocked off by an avalanche so I could only see about half of it.

The top 2 and bottom mob all hit for around 2400 or so, the 3rd hitting for around 1800.

They all had crap for loot, except for a cool looking robe call a Robe of Honor. I'd seen it on a few NPCs and gave it to a Dr in Coronet because I'm a wookie and couldn't wear it even if I wanted too.

Killing them is relatively easy if you use the right combination of pets and combat tactics, though each of them took well over 10 min to kill at the least.

In my experience, a group of 20 (including 7 pets/probots) can take down a Dark Jedi Master (37k HAM, 95% effectiveness across the board) in about 5 minutes but everytime all the pets would die along with about two people. I think that the people who died were silly enough to try to get some brawler skills or the Jedi was smart enough to go after the CHs. I couldn't tell in the mass chaos that is a Dark Jedi hunt.
