Thread: Would Jedi be happy if...
Message Edited by the_cossack on 10-20-2005 02:07 AM
Too many trolls aroung tonight....
In answer to your question, here is the issue:
First, FRS has nothing to do with the fact that our Jedi "tank" can no longer tank. There is no use for MDef AI now except to run away using it (isn't that why they put the snare in it? so we couldn't do that? gees...)
The Kiting/Snare issue is bigger then just Jedi, they are simply saying that ranged > melee...some say it should be that way...some don't. FRS can't help with this....With the snare...there is no difference between FR1 and FR3, because they are simply negated while the snare is in place. So, more additional mods from FRS would be useless.
Jedi Damage is another issue, and again....nothing to do with FRS. FRS doesn't help us get premium pearls. Additional speed mods from FRS are meaningless because we are currently using base LS speed not modified....so speed mods don't change anything. (besides...with diminishing returns, even with additional mods, they wouldn't make much difference)
Jedi/BH griefing. They have successfully removed the ability of Jedi to run from BHs easily. As had been said many times, unless the Risk vs. Reward issue is addressed with BH/Jedi fights, Jedi have no reason to stand there and be content for BHs who can no longer easily kill the double gold chevron boss marks (30k+ HAMS). This is the one issue that MAYBE could get a little help from FRS. If there was some kind of reward for successfully fending off a BH attack, there would be a reason to fight. But from what I hear, the kiting/snare issue is making it almost impossible to catch a well equipped, experienced BH.
Oh, and....to those of you doing it, can we stop the immature prattle and discuss this so people can actually decide if they can live with this or if they want to cancel? Thank you
The back of my head keeps telling me all these nerfs are the prelude to the FRS, in which maybe action costs, mind costs, force costs, armor%, everything will be improved by ranking up.
However, since I have no proof of this, I dont know what to expect.
If the devs were to come out and say that these changes were to balance everyone to padawan which should be roughly the same strength as a normie, then I would be happy.
