Ouch, was the armor she hit in good condition? Sounds like a stupid question, but I have fought these force sensitive NPCs and they can wear down armor quickly, it has happened to me where I had not realized a piece was at 0/0 condition until I was hit and incapped for a crazy amount of damage as well. If the armor is in good shape, it sounds like you may have been hit with the good ol' armor hole bug.

This is "bug" has been around for awhile..as I understand it, it's more like bad design rather than faulty programming. In the past...I've been told that damage registers first...then armor blocks it. Well, when you get hit for 4k+ and it takes you out over your buff amount...it kills you before your armor has a chance to block anything. This has been around for a long time...best response you'll get from SWG is...OMG, wait for the combat balance...

Is this how the "armor hole" bug works? I have never heard any explanation for it, although this one does make sense.

ahh yes I have fallen victim as well to these weird little quark. As for the combat balance I won't hold my breath. Only thing I have for the combat balance is fear that we will need 20 people grouped to take on a single crazed durni.

You think 4308 damage is bad? Im a jedi working on my trials so I have to go to the corvette, armor is up KX-277 uses "certain special" on you for 5300+ damage, your armor blocks 2000 or so of it. Next hit KX-277 uses "certain special" on you for 6400 or so damage.... you're dead since it was exactly after the other one.

LOL, plz...before you get mad...I'm laughing with you, not at you. It is quite unfortunate. But yes, the "armor hole" will be fixed come the non-existant combat revamp. But, you want my true advice? Quit combat now, be a crafter...it'll save you a lot of grief in the end! LOL
