Just need feedback from someone, not really whining.
Earlier I fought someone toe-to-toe. Non-jedi, so force Defense couldn't possibly have effected choke. I was to understand that Choke bypassed ALL armor except Force Shield and Force Defense in Defender. My combat log constantly said his armor was preventing my attacks. He was using Katarn Knucklers so TKM armor might have been a factor, but I thought it bypassed that as well.
As for Aura, I found that using it was a waste. He missed more, yes, but the damage wasn't reduced at all from when I used Aura to when I didn't use it. Before Publish 24 Aura, due to the melee/ranged defense add of it, made them miss more and reduce damage, but now it's not for me. Also, it should be known he used CoB and damage from me WAS reduced and I missed more. They both do the same thing.
Just need feedback, I'd like to know if they've either been nerfed or bugged. Actually I just want to know if anyone is having the same issue.

Haven't been in the game yet today to test this...A few days ago, I dueled a guild mate and choke was actually doing more damage than usual. Aura seemed the same to me.

I noticed from the log it did about 100 damage more than normal as a total, but he still somehow defended it with armor so dropped from 545 to about 300 something.

I'm going to test them tonight with a Non-jedi. It'd be dumb to test choke not bypassing armor with a jedi since they can actually defend against it.
I'll let you know how it goes and screenshot the tests.

im mpowers and noticed that in pvp choke seems to hit for random numbers. i was pvping yesterday against the same group of zerging players, and w/ there same mods as the first fight choke hit some for more than at 1st and some for less. i think its all random but not broken. but if it is broken would u b suprised

Yup aura works for me too, i think maybe sometimes mobs have random damage types and sometimes for whatever reason hit harder than your used to seeing, and so sometimes might think skills arnt working right.

I tested it earlier this evening and it worked fine again. Must have just been some temporary bug or something that caused his armor to stop it /shrug
