Thread: att Powers users !
Powers rocks against BH. Just does. What is better than that crunching sound as the life drains from their shattered, broken husks.
Fought one the other day who made the unfortunate error of being close to a krayt when deciding to attack me. Tbh I am not sure what upset the BH more. The fact that he died in 30 seconds or that the Krayt killed him Barc first.

I wasted a BH/CM and a BH/Ranger (don't laugh, he was a nice guy) yesterday with ease. Force Management is so important that some Jedi forget about it. I'm guilty of that mistake as well!
Too many Jedi, fighting BHs, make the mistake of playing againstthe opponent'shealth bar.Watching the opponent'shealth bar move up and down only drains you of your purple bar (which is your very LIFE). Play against their action and mind bars. Use attacks that force them to heal, but don't use attacks that just drain your force. Lower costs force attacks (or saber attacks for our LSfriends), FTW. Then when their mind/action bars are extremely low...hit 'em with the heavy stuff. That's how I typically overpower any opponent. Food or not. I don't care how much Mind regeneration they have....It only prolongs the inevitable.
Personal mood seems to be a key as well. The more calm you are during the battle, the less mistakes you will make. (a shot of vodka always helps!)
That, my friends, is how you can win against BHs and just about any other profession, including Jedi.
Don't fight their health bars! Fight their Action/Mind Bars, FTW!

And which moves might these be? Choke is the ONLY move that you can effectively use that will really panic out a BH/MCM. Everything else is almost laughable. Lightning and Choke are the only real damage dealers from Powers which cause a BH to heal but the force & action cost is so high that you will drain your Force faster than their mind (in most instances)
Please don't say use a rifle; your speed, accuracy, and min damageis just junk with one. My default saber hit does more damage than a dmg capped ALR in my hands and the weapon encumbrance is not worth it either. Also, don't say use Saber Hit either... when fighting again MCM, STAY FAR AWAY... period
What moves does Powers have that is "low force cost" (HAHAHA) and does good damage (that is not an area attack...so don't say Force Throw)?
I'd typically agree with this statement but my force can't seem to last the 15 mins it takes the Mind food, buff, spice to wear off (which can later be reapplied... cept the buff).
The mind regen rate on some of these guys is NUTS lately while my force bar virtually has no regen at all. It is a drain war that is very hard to win. I've been successful in the past with MCM's (and have posted the vids too)but something is up for sure as of late.
The SAC cost on the new weapons is OUT OF CONTROL. Dmg capped andSAC capped weapons with speedslices are now thenorm. The action (with buffs and food) DOES NOT MOVE!
As of now, I am hitting Health full blast. The mind vs force war is not a war easily won right now with uber food, buffs, spice and dmg / sac capped weapons.
On a side note, last night, WITHOUT Force Armor on, it took my entire force bar (left with 1%) to kill 1 bull rancor with 30K Health. For some reason, the improved infusion mind cost seems to be higher too /shrug.
