Hi there. Well i just mastered powers and i've some questions for those who had been for a while. If are bugs or is the gameplay etc.

1.First about the yellow bar. I would like to know why i can't use lightning while moving?. Sabers can. All ranged can. WhyI can't? Always the the bar desapears or the button gets red if I try to use them while i'm moving.

because that yellow bar is a warmup timer and is there so you cant move and use lightning at the same time

2.Second whyI cant use low power lightingn ( ligh I and II) ? I need to waste a lot of force with minor mobs etc. Related whit whis is 3rd..

because the devs said you cant.

3.Why I cant use single (not area) kd, intimidate, etc? I need to do the strongest attack again, and get area aggro if there are more enemies near the area.

see #2

4.About cooldown. I have noticed more powered attacks with 4444 instead of 4000, but what about cooldown times? Are the same i think, master ls are a lot faster thanus inattack, and i don't think light attacks are faster in m.pow than 4000. (please clarify).

not sure what your asking

5.Force costs. If ls have perls and crystals (i know i know, only "good" or less but you have "something") why powers don't have a similar method of improving damage and speed? Most ls attacks costs less than 60-70 force cost. But powers, well, they need a lot of fuel.

because powers as designed is not a standalone skillset any more than enhancer is. powers as designed is the opposite of enhancer.

6.About debuffing. Well well... as we said "falla mas que una escopeta de feria" that means that its more probable to win the lottery than to obtain good results with this attack. And why only works with force buffs? It has no sense. If jedi buffs are "greater" or more sothisticated (done by de mediclorians bla bla bla) why i cant debuff a "simple" person?

get a little ranged accuracy and force accuracy there is food and drinks for that and breach will work better than you think with a little accuracy

7.Choke and force shield. I noticed that force shield returns damage from the dot of choke, surely "works as intented" but if you think that is a m.pow attack, powes has no bleeding attack etc.

see #6 dont choke someone when they have shield up. drop their defenses first.

8.Damage. it may sound ridiculous, but this is SWG...Are lightning attacks elecricity or energy? I think "elecricity"is the ovbious response but...

they are lightning now. choke is kinetic.

Other things that have been discused i think are...

People can follow me cloaked (¿?). Night sisters can attack me while cloacked (ns cave at ns stronghold). I get aggro while cloacked (i think this was repaired due to bunker lamers who gone there to kill groups, etc).

Force hit need a lot of force comparired to saberhit, why?. Don't you think that powers need more diversified attacks or abilities?

thats the way the devs have done it. i suggest submitting a bug report on the /follow issue. NPC can see through cloak but not attack to prevent you from waltzing through all the content with no risk.

Thank you for your time.

barb, what do you mean with choke is kinetic? I was under the impression that choke bypassed armor altogether, and that it won't get mitigated by kinetic resistant armor.

as for question number 4) you are right, there is no + force speed mod in the powers tree (why I don't know really). The only way to get faster afaik is to get buffs, such as from force speed in enhancer.

ohh, and as barb said, remember to use Breach to remove their force defenses.
