Squeeky wheel gets the grease, I wish I had a little grease because the way I've been getting it lately from SOE really hurts.

Hello Dark-Poet.


Good to see you are still around. I will be back around the 9th of OCT. I agree with you big time. They need to do something, and something soon. I have been gone about 3 months and no great changes for jedi. During respect I had the most fun as M Powers M Enh. I took down 4 BHS with M Powers M Def in 4 under 4 min. I needed a health crystal and holo though, pre CU.


Well you take care and see you soon.

I'm back after swg timeout. SWG lost 15 dollars so far as the penalty I'm applying. My other account will stay down until they come out with those uber items that you can only get from the Obiwan retail box set.

I've read this thread and thought I'd weigh in a couple of things.


Firstly, I agree that Powers against another Jedi with Enhancer or Defender will get you either absolutely nowhere (Defender) or killed (Enhancer with Feedback). However, I would add that Powers against a non-Jedi is very nasty. Add a little Lightsaber (0404 or 0400, for example) and you should have a more than fair chance against a BH. (note: I've been Powers pre-CU and I'm currently MLS MP).


Secondly, it seems to me that you want a more front-line template. I'm not arguing with you - the Dev's did indeed allow SonG to tell us that Powers was to be considered as a viable damage-dealing alternative to LS. What they failed to mention and has become increasingly apparent is that Powers ability to deal damage is very situational. As mentioned above, Powers can be a very powerful tool against a non-Jedi but against another Jedi it becomes problematic depending one the opposing Jedi's template. Of you indeed want a more front-line Powers Jedi, then go MLS+MP+heal 4400 or MP+MD. The viability of the first is in doubt following the Pub 24 changes - we'll just ahve to see how it pans out in Live.


Finally, I would also add that Powers received a significant boost to damage in the old FRS, and a high-ranked Powers Jedi was a very nasty opponent. Maybe (ok, BIG maybe) Powers will receive similar love in the new FRS...

Urban Dictionary definition of SMED:

"to interfere with one's gaming enjoyment: To drastically alter an item which is enjoyed by thousands."

TO pull a smed. Jeez, those dev's pulled a smed on swg big time
