it takes about 2% every attack, but its a 1 vs 1 duel so dervish isnt used OFTEN and saber throw is every once in awhile so its not a drain and 2% isnt alot it just gets healed right up if there person AI'ed isnt healing

I've recently gotten my mdef and I'd say it's fair game to run and wait the AI out... Some even say that a Jedi that needs AI in a duel is a bad pvp'er... I wouldn't know though since I haven't gotten any PVP after I got the mdef... Like someone said, it would be stupid to stand there and drain your own force by hitting something that doesn't die...

what u talking about this KD thing, because thats not possible. and if u had a jedi and u were fighting a Mdef with AI on, would u stay and take ur beatings? while the other person cant die or worry about mind burn

Counter question. Would it be acceptable for me to use my alt and keep you kd'd and unable to fight until you ended, thusly giving me a duel win by default?
A duel is toe to toe. My personal opinion is that if you go beyond the range of attacks the duel would be over and the person running would have lost. In most cases that would be 64 meters for ranged and 32 for Jedi. But thats just me.
This is yet another reason I find dueling pointless. Why run?
Heh, I can keep you perpetually kd'd and unable to fight. Trust me on this. If you don't believe me fine, create a character on Shadowfire and send Court/Lilith or Gheist a tell and I'll meet up with you and prove it. Last time I did this was in pvp and I got bored after 5 mins and decided to bike away.
As for the Mdef one, I stand by what I said. If you go beyond the range of the template either you or your dueling partner has, I personally feel its a win for the other. I'm not talking ducking in and out of range. I'm talking about beyond attacking distance for great lengths of time.
As for this Jedi without the healing who has to auto-ai in duels. Dumb ... very dumb. But yes I'd stand toe to toe. Why? Because in approx 2 mins of fighting they will be dead. Period.

if u let them beat on u, they will definately use up some action, and soon as AI drops, use your KD, they will be toast

you can not keep anyone on their back the whole time anymore. Pre CU yes. Post CU no unless you are exploiting. There is a KD timer.

The invitation stands for you too.
If you don't believe me fine but the few times I've been cheap enough to use my template, it has been extremely successful in pissing people off.

Have you seen how fast you action regens under spice and food? you may get 2 extra hits in. As for a Jedi whoopin on you and running out of action. The only time I run out of action with my 95 SAC saber is when I'm spd buffed. And I'm usually never speed buffed during pvp.

I'm not entirely sure but I think AI takes 1k force to activate. So unless the person isn't hitting back after about 2 mins they're force should be just about gone from the -4k force to use AI 4 times plus whatever they're hitting you with. Don't attack just heal, if you get out of range then that's her problem you have a strategy to beat this person than use it. Soon as AI is done, hit her with what you got, it's not hard to run an AI user out of force without Drain Force.
