The first jedi on my server is in my guild. I was a doc before he unlock. I can promis you that you did not spend more hours grinding your jedi than I grinded my Doc in the last 2 yrs. Heck the hours I spent hunting avian could have produced a little army of Jedi.


So please, do not give me the jedi grind story for I have grinded a full template and it was a cake walk compared to running a 25+ factory buisness for over a year.










I was a doc from when I started this game until they changed the prof with the CU. If your saying you spent 8 hours a day gathering avian for 4-5 months pre patch 9 then good for you, I know I never spent anywhere near that time to get my resources or to craft and I always had backpacks full of meds in storage, on sale and for my guild.


Comparing a full time crafter to the pre patch 9 jedi grind is a little confusing though, I know I did it because I enjoyed it. Doc to me was never a grind so i can't see the relationship.


Not flaming I am just a little confused by your agressive stance trying to compare apples and oranges to prove your apples are much harder to produce. What does it accomplish?

"you do realize this is based off a movie? and in the movie jedi are quite strong."

Not all Jedi. The ones you see in the movie are the cream of the crop. Some great Jedi were even killed during Order 66 by Clone Troopers.

Most Jedi probably couldn't stand up to a group of blaster-wielding thugs. Not all Jedi are as strong as Mace Windu, Yoda, or Obi-Wan.

If great Jedi can be killed by a group of Clone Troopers, regular Jedi, you would assume, to not actually have that much of an advantage over a person using a rifle.

That's also excluding the factor that Jedi don't really wear armour, have to concentrate immensely hard, and undergo vigorous training to fight against a person with some good armour and a gun, where all you have to do is squeeze the trigger.

If anything, normal Jedi should be at a disadvantage.

Wait. Is this going to affect Jedi Heals? Since we are not Docs or CMs will it use our actoin bar too?

I do not really like this change.


Fully buffed I have a melee defense of 1100 and a ranged defense of 980. I still need medic skills and healing eff. tapes to survive. Not to mention TKM uses so much action to begin with. <sigh>

Take any M. Def with 4000 healer and 0002 enh can sit there and chanel and take all the damage a Doc/Pistols can dish out all day long. As a BH/Pistols/4000 cm I have run up to this type of defender build and they just stand there and there is nothing I could do and believe me I have very nice pistols, food, etc etc.

The simple fact is that any build can be the perfact match for any other build. The one move where the defender is getting toasted by a M. CM/BH. This is the perfect match up in the CM favor as his weapons are not countered by the defenders def. A healer or Enhancer build would have crushed that BH.





First of all, you should not compare a MBH against a Defender. You should compare a Master Pikeman or Master TKA against Defender. The BH vs Jedi is another discussion completely IMO. I am talking about using 4000 Doctor along with something like Master Pikeman here, creating a monster tank such as the one in the video. When you start to see entire guilds with R.I.S Armor and Pikes, then you just know something is wrong. And you can only thank 4000doc for that.


The solid BH counter against A.I thoughis daze.Time a Disarm shot right before you believe the A.I will run out. It will stop him from using A.I, and with 0 health left you can almost defeat him with a firearm strike if you wish.

I doubt there's many Defenders who would even consider to use A.I in pvp right now. The tactic you mentioned is hillarious, but it's easily countered. Paralyze, Disarm, Stasis, Concussion Shot, Panic Shot etc.


Ofcourse MCM's are the bane of Defenders. A Defender is slow, and against a MCM they crawl. If you do not have a very decent saber (+600 at least with decent speed) you will never be able to dish out enough damage in time. I have defeated multiple MDef/MLS templates with my MCM/MDoc, simply by burning out their force, keeping out of reach, applying new states where appropiate. Sure, it takes 15min since I do not have any combat skills, but it works.


The event that a MDef actually wins is more often the "Cannot Knockdown Recovery while being Knocked Down" bug than any sign of superioty. That's my opinion.


A BH have more to fear from an Enhancer with a good saber IMO.

For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

You do not use A.I in pvp anymore. Any Defender who A.I is dead. Any proper pvp guild have a MCM, MEnh or MSmuggler along to deal with them easily. In fact, I havnt seen the A.I state outside pve for like 1-2 months now. I am one of the Master Enhancers you can thank for that.

A full-template Jedi that knows what they are doing will be able to solo almost anyone unless they invest in millions of credits worth of SEAs. There is a reason that SWG is the only MMO with an Alpha Class. It's a bad idea, and does not belong in a multi-player game.


Please download theese four videos and try to say the same, I can assure you you cannot find any Jedi movies similar to theese ones.:

Compliments of the bounty hunter boards m.cm/m.bh vs m.def/m.ls

Compliments of SamuraiJack' on Lowca Tanking 101

Please.. Not everyone has 100 million credits to spend on equipment to fare vs jedi...


Plus when a jedi is in an Group together their deadlier than anything eles if they know what they are doing..






I am on lowca and there are many builds similar to Samjack. We are talking about guys that can take on 3 or 4 jedi easy. What dopes like you fail to take into account is that Jedi need to spend millions and millions on sea's and crystals as well. You will never be a star in PvP without maxing speed accuracy and def and that takes millions. The point is in 2 days and a few mil you can grind the swords/doc/pike template and slaughter a full temp Jedi who took 2 months to grind. Jedi is not an alpha class, once upon a time it was, but now there are many templates that equal or surpass the Jedi.

Remember that the Force Sensitive Grind is timelimited to 4,5 months without workarounds.


Pikeman: 4.05 million xp
Novice Jedi: 206,55 million xp

Jedi right now seems to be a time-sink for hardcore players. Obviously they want to elongate the grind to maximise the money they get out of subscriptions.

Jedi is just something to do when you don't have anything else. I don't think it is intended to be a alpha class.

The reward of being different is fine with me. Although when I cannot upkeep my guildrole in pve with my Jedi, and all non-Jedi pvp templates I would like to create "must" have at least 3000Doc in it,that's an issue.

I guess it's become a staple, like Novice Med pre-CU.

With the SL changes, I'm thinking the SWG crew is using this as a last ditch attempt to force specialisation in groups.

Cannot upkeep my guildrole cannot upkeep my guildrole. What exactly are you trying to do in PVE for the 1500 heal to be so damned inneficient? I see 4xxx doctors and CM's keeping groups alive without problems, and no they're not spamming heals.

About those pikeman videos. The second video shows him eating SYNTHSTEAK at 0:12, effectively absorbing 44% of all damage, 4 jedi now do the damage of 2. At 0:33 he dies and still has the synthsteak on. None of the jedi had their speed buffs on. His ruby bliel also went from a stack of 10 to a stack of 5,hence 5 stims were used. Total bacta shots used: 4. Conclusion: doctor is totally overpowered. /sarcasm off.

I cant fail to notice all the jedi whiners who come to these boards because they have lost to a non-jedi or a BH seem to miss the fact that the non-jedi had doctor buffs, spice, drink and food and actually managed his stomach to allow him to use ruby bliel and synthsteak while on the other hand, most jedi I've fought run around with nothing but their force aura and infusion macros on.

Food and drink more than makes up for the 0.5x difference. Stop whining and get a clue(might not be nice but simply put, some jedi need to).

Apparently MsNiL is also the person to have started asking for NPC's to give no visibility. I think someone here is misunderstanding the place jedi has in this game.

Clearly from this post you want to be on par or better than any non-jedi profession.

You also are asking for the risks associated with being Jedi to be removed. I take it, you are one of the few jedi who missed the memo saying Jedi were a PVP class, which is most likely the case seeing as you are a full template jedi with little to no offense and are on a crusade against NPC visibility, those BH/MCM really gave you a hard time?

You want to know why jedi have become they way they are? Look at yourself in the mirror, its Jedi like you who cannot stand the risks associated with the class. You dont want the risks, dont expect any power. You will get no sympathy here.
