I want to be able to defend myself. As a light side Jedi, I demand the ability to defend myself in PVP.. Kayl, you are ignorant. You obvious haven't seen the travesty the Jedi system is in its current incarnation.
A Jedi uses the the force for defense, never for attack.
Fair enough that they should get first crack at me, all I want is the ability to be able to withstand more than a dizzy/kd rape. The Jedi should be able to channel the connection he has with the force to clear a state like dizzy and be able to stand up through that. That's not right. You don't see any jedi getting pummeled on the ground, flopping like fishes while their BH murderer calls them every name in the book, humiliating them to no end, and chasing them everywhere they go.
Another thing I would like changed is, if you somehow manage to kill the BH that BH should never ever be allowed to take that Jedi as a mark again. This goes in line with how the Spynet guys act anyway..they are jerks, they would laugh at you and berate your failure if you came back dead with lightsaber wounds.
Speaking of lightsaber wounds... What is the matter with the low wound % on the Crystals/Pearl that it used in your saber creation. Two things the matter with this one, the wound should NOT be solely determined by the crystal, if it is, it should be a LOT more than 2 or 4.Lightsaber wound %'s are extremely low, a republic blaster can average about 26% if made well, yet a 5th generation lightsaber can barely muster 5.5%? This is WRONG. A focused beam of energy like a lightsaber, if all I know about the mythos is true, can slice off human bodyparts!! which they do NUMEROUS times throughout the movies, and books.. so... why can an unarmed Kunga Warrior -block- a lightsaber without losing his arms?
Why the low % wound on lightsabers, if you ask me, you should maybe lower the overall damage of thelightsaber (make it all experiemental would be the best route) and increase woundup to almost 80% cause honestly, if you are being slashed by a lightsaber, and you have no special armor (like the 50% idea, could be the rare element of Cortosis), then you should be getting wounded BIGTIME. Every successful hit (modified of course using Lightsaber type damage specific armor resists) resulting in large ugly black bars. This would make the BH think twice about taking a Jedi Mission, because as it is, there's NO risk to the BH except maybe travel expenses. So he shows up finds the jedi surrounded by friends, he's not obligated to stick around.. I believe also that the BH should get a tef to the Jedi as soon as he's within 128m, meaning his group can attack him, as well as the Jedi, depending on his affiliation with the force. If he's a dark Jedi obviously let the Jedi attack the one coming for him, if he's a Light Jedi, he should have to wait til attacked. And something like ranger creature stalking should appear to the Jedi I agree with that, but it should appear as soon as the BH with the mission for him arrives on the same planet as him. FIX THE LOGOUT "Player is not online" droid tracking bug, but give the damned Jedi warning of some kind, he's a Jedi he KNOWS the movements of the force, and he should have some danger sense.
No comp armor! we shouldn't need it! give us stats that are comparable to your average prof dabbler (master pistoleer/some tka/some fencer/) basically, we never see Jedi in the movies looking like bounty hunters in full composite armor. I should be able to wear a home-spun robe, (maybe with force power bonus's sowearing it wouldincrease either the regeneration rate, or give the jedi more force power *like a LOT more*) in combat.The Bounty Hunters wear that heavy comp armor to protect themselves cause that's all they have to depend on, that and their weapons. JEDI have the FORCE!! The force and their lightsaber is all they should need. Sprinkle +defense bonus's all throughout their trees to make them the viable class they should be. I'm not asking to be a god, though by Jedi Master you SHOULD bethat... but I'm asking to be a viable class in PVP from the beginning on. there's no reason I should have to hope I can nick some guy's 90% composite using a kinetic saber. I'm not smacking the guy with the hilt of the thing, I'm using the SHINY END, okay? okay andthe decay is ridiculous as well people... fix that.

Constructive Post here. So plz dont flame each other. I'm not speaking for the jedi community here this is what I think.
1. Take out one-handed and two-handed lightsaber. (Should learn new styles as we progress up the trees I.E defensive, ofensive)
2. Should be no force cost to use saber specials. (Your average jedi is using an all crystal saber, they'll never beable to use there padawan flurry as much as they should be)
3. Force cost for more elite moves cost way too much.(Animal scare takes 1000 force points!!! better off killing the critter)
4. Jedi should be allowed to place houses/PA halls. (We should be allowed to ban togeather and form a PA)
5. Crystals should not have to be found with an ALT character. (we all know why)
6. Light jedi should be able to be tempted by the dark side later on. (If they ever put in jedi missons an dark jedi npc should spawn and give you a choice fight him and or die or join the dark side)
7. Jedi Robes? (Not a huge issue to me but I know a lot of the Jedi want this)
8. Saber Blade color. (We should really be able to pick the color. Thats just me tho =D)
9. JEDI CONTENT! (give us something to do other then kill wildlife all day and all night)
10. Jedi -vs- BH (This system is by far way too buggy. I've had two BH's come for me so far. One had to tef towards me, so I chatted with him for awhile. The second BH that came did have a tef, but mid battle our TEFs towards each other faded!?!? Rebel BHs should not have missons for Light Jedi. This makes bad blood in the communtiy.)
11. An idea to fix jedi app (Once a jedi hits apprentice. A jedi knight or above should be able to take him/her under their wing. Instead of the jedi apprentice useing there NPC training he will have to learn all of his skills from his/her master. The jedi knight would only get APP points from training there certain Padawan learner.)
12. Lightsaber slicing? (hey if we want the extra decay let us have it!)
This is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Agree except for 2 things:
4) Jedi placing structures, while I understand the goal you have in mind, can have exploit potential when it comes to existing player cities to manipulate the population.
12) Sabers don't need to be sliced at all, and the ability to trade sabers will make them a novelty, where people will just sell training sabers for decoration.

Simple:
1) Enough evade/dodge/counterattack mods to make us not have to be the tanks we currently are
2) Jedi Robes along with a reason to wear them over the Composite we currently are forced to wear
Here is a solution

Why not just give them natural resists compareable to composite as they gain more rank?

Because then jedi will still be forced to wear composite by the fact that there is no reason not to.

This one poped in my head the other night.
Instead of having one-handed toughness, two-handed toughness, and polearm toughness. How about we make it a general toughness like lightsaber block.
Its a shame to spend all that time grinding to get to 4/4/4/4 and your still stuck using a one-handed lightsaber. =/
