i got an idea, reintroduce Battlefatigue as the force bar to normal profession, so we wont see these crazy 45min fights against MCM/MBH and we got something to heal/expand/buff whatever for the entertainers

Said this when they first discussed the idea.. Very few agreed. Matter afact most of the jedi community seemed to want it..

I personaly am pist off about the Cool downs and Cost..

Mind cost need to go for LS attacks. No other combat profession has mind costs, and neither should jedi. Keeping mind costs for healing is fine.

i call BS on grounds of personal experience, i was using melee hit and melee strike and i was using mind strength as a pikeman. dont know if tis a bug or "working as intended" but i definatly was suing mind for attacks

Yeah I think everything sums to costs.

If we could mantain a Force Bar after doing what any oder profession do (Lets give an example of killing3 lvl 82 NPCs, no elite), this would be in the 'No problem' area. As I see it, if you pickup a ranged profession, and modify your weapon so it doesnt use up much action or mind when using specials and mix it with some foods, plus healing (be it adding a healing class or stimpacks), killing those3 lvl 82 npcs will feel like a breeze.. even if your mind and action is low, you just need to /sit and you are good to go.

As a Jedi, killing those 3 lvl 82 is not impossible, but is not a breeze either. Sure your force may stay above 50%, but it regens really slow, and the fact that sabers cant be upgraded/modified to use the less action, mind and force possible doesnt help either; butif you keep killing lvl 82 npcs, assuming you use force heal and any other force power to increase your defense/armor, after X time, your force bar will bedepleted, and if you dont have channel you will have to /sit and wait for a while (5-10 mins) for it to come back again.

I dont think the force bar should go, but more like rework costs and how it works. Like I said in my previous post, Enhancer/Powers and Healer should see the force bar as the base of their attacks/defenses/strategy, while Lightsaber and Defender should see it as just an extra pool for certain attacks/specials.

The fact that swinging your saber around uses action, mind and force confuses me... Aren't Jedi supposued to be strong warriors?, yet they get tired really easy

We should get ahealth cost as well. Why not bring back the old system completely? Why not go further and impose a credit cast as well? 1 credit per 1 point of saber damage. Sounds about right. Want to use a rifle instead? Sorry a rifle will be considered like armor and block your access to the Force. I wondered why saber block got dumbed down. Guess its due to the shot being from a regular profession weapon. I always regret watching pre CU videos and the attack animations that work. The video of "Goodbye" was fanastic watching blaster bolts being deflected into walls. Sorry I'm in a pessimistic mode as of late.
