Folks, until this starts happening no arguement is going to warrant jedi getting an increase in combat power.

Non Jedi like Samrauijack, and well equipped CM BHs are getting stronger and more common, some Jedi will never get to kill these type of guys, they're even giving pre-CU Knights a tough time now too.
They're stronger because they have more options. More options in skills and equipment.
Out of the box, no template is as strong as current jedi, who are no where near as powerful as in days gone by.
BUT. when you start adding things like theCM/doc enhancers, ubar weapons, ubar armor, p-ups, super fast heals (not to mention those who seem to NEVER have their HAM get low) and take into consideration the drain of the JEDI Force Bar ( some might argue that the ForceBar is the great equalizer of the Jedi. I would argue that when you throw the Force in ON top of the SAC cost, it is the great handicap, not equalizer), that is where the BH/CM has the advantage over their quarry... you get alot of BH that just plain suck. And because they've sank tons of creds into all the best gear, they think they should be able to roll up on a Jedi with guns blazing and walk out a winner ( actually its the swordsman/tk/doc dabblers that can do that, but for test purposes, since they can't pull your mission, they dont apply).
Jedi are gimped by their weapons and lack of armor when compared to other professions... ironically 'mystical armor' can be AB and sabers ( although when compared to EACH other, especially pre-cu sabers, may seem good, compared to other classes, jedi sabers suck )
The jedi weakness against other players isn't based on their inate abilites.. 'cept for the AB and healing (Cm's get 4 heals they can use whereas jedi get 2 ( if you count infusion). It's in the equipment variety other classes have.
Perhaps Jedi should get robes that ACT as armor.. than can be sliced and diced.. same for sabers. Course, i'ma get burned for that comment. And until the Force bar gets properly adjusted to where a BH isn't just waiting for it to run out for the kill, we will be at a disadvantage in the big scheme of things.
The BH who complain we are to strong already are the ones not smart enough to NOT try to tank a Jedi.

I only have one comment about this which I think is where 90% of the moaners and cryers fall into (esp. in the current state of the game, as I haven't engaged in PvP often prior to CU). IMHO people who think they are underpowered (post-CU) I tend to find that they little to no idea about PvP except that they are in it. I'm almost full tmeplate and I eventually have to run from my BH encounters because I can't out damage them (well CM/BH which is all I seem to attract)... does this mean I'm underpowered? Not to me it means I need to do some work on my template, get 100 good pearls and hope 2 tune good to replace my mediocre ones, learn about more foods... more about tactics... probably most importantly... BE CALM in PvP so I actually do the thing I forgot about 5 minutues ago, perhaps get some LS CA's. If I still consistently lose after doing 80% of that then I might start complaining.
Too many people think hey I ate all the foods, got the doc buffs, I should be OK in a fight. They die and are shocked. Here's a little analogy: I soupe up my rinky dink car with all the greatest parts and it goes from 110 horse power to 507. I've only done road driving but decide to race my car one day. I crash. Was I underpowered? No. Did I know how to race? No. Should I be surprised about the outcome? NO. You can have all the tools but you need to know how to use them.
