I was watching one of the latest jedi movies, and i was thinking, cool they are blocking hits, swating their sabers together, and i was pondering "why isnt all melee combat as cool as this" why is it that just jedi combat is realistic, this is a load of bantha poodoo and i want you guys' feelings on the matter

Think if your going to do a rant, to atleast map it out and make definable and understandable points.



Now, heres my interpretation of your, post..



Sabers can block shots, reflect lasers back, yep in the movies. That would be cool, for jedis. We got this club with a spike job and some metal fins, nothing to special about it, it surly wont reflect a laser back, if anything itll recoil off the laser and hit me in the head..



Saber locks, are in reaality very rare in fencing/swords fighting. If you think about it, how often will 2 people hold their swords togethor and growl at eachother? I would say never. Thats an anime thing imho.

Try doing this.


Pick a high-end humanoid NPC, like a trooper. COB. Attack him with a bleed, blind and dizzy. COB again when it runs out. Don't use any other specials. Just let the default attack handle it. You'll be amazed at what your toon will do when you are not forcing him into the same old special time after time. You'll also be amazed at how you will end the fight with regenned HAMs.

Yep, thats the major mistake people make soloing huge mobs.



Drop a blind, Intim, (intim 2 if ya got it), bleed (we have 2 rightnow, health hit 1 and 2) and Center, then default the rest.



I had absolutly no trouble soloing entire enraged rancor lairs that way, doc buffed, in ubese (64%)

well, im new to this ranting stuff, and im not talking just about saber locking together, like in KOTOR the sword combat was actually realistic, i realize that that whole game was a little more realistic than SWG in alot of ways, but i noticed at least one special move in the movie i saw and it was in unison with the other jedis move and he deflected it and stuff, and thats something i think they need to put into melee classes

If I understand this correctly... This issue is just visual. Don't you think this game has bigger problems right now?

Only way I can see a blade or whatever (besides a LS) deflecting a laser bolt (notthrowing it back at them) would bea Cortosis Weaved Blade. Other than that it should knock it out of your hand or go right through it. Besides dont see how you would ever be able to have the calculations to put the sword right in the path of a blaster bolt without using the Force.

Yes, there are more things that could be fixed before they did something i am thinking of, but nothing that would really effect me, i just dont like the idea of a person standing there, letting someone else swat at them with a big ass pike, or stab them with a vibro blade, this is just something i think the game needs to be like..
