"I mean, what is a pikeman and why is it something in the game?"

Ok...block dodge counter attack order worst to best left to right

BLOCK..stops some damage and lets you continue fighting...pikes and rifles (makes sense)

DODGE...you step out of the way but you waste some valuable time...fencers and pistoleers (makes sense)

COUNTERATTACK...lets you step out of the way and lay some damage...swords and carbines (no sense in that)

Dodge is, yes, slow but for a tanker, needed. Block won't do too much in pve, and Counterattack...well ive nvr went for swords so i dunno

Who the ***edit*** codes this game?

Block = 50% damage reduction

Dodge = 100% damage reduction

Counterattack = 100% damage reduction

pretty much all have an equal chance of coming off if you are capped but dodge and counterattack are better due to the 100% damage reduction

what counterattack does btw is one of the 2 (i cant remember which exactly) you either take damage, but hit back, or recieve no damage and hit back. i forgot which one it was. counterattack is broken i think, but 2 hand counterattack isnt

2hand counterattack on the other hand is good with a few tapes. i have a few upgrades to it and found myself counterattacking nearly everytime the force sensitive npc's on dantooine landed a hit. but im also a fencer, so i get theire dodge and swordsman counterattack depending on what im using.

True story im bringin the team back, even Roy Jones was forced to lean back

Give in to the powers of the dark side, true strength lies within ones ability to channel hatred into a deady weapon

dodge and counterattack reduces 100% of the damage

block only reduces the damage by 50%

what prof do your get counter attack from again ???

swordsmen and carbineer.

Watch carbineer come the combat balance...it will be better then riffleman imho.

And I'd rather have 100+ Dodge over block and 100+ Counterattack over block also...block seems to not always works properly...

Intended :-

Dodge 100% no damage

Block 50% + states get through

Counter No defence but you deal damage back (Doubling your ROF I might add)

Working now :-

Dodge & Counter 100% no damage

Block 50% + states get through (Nice to know one thing in riflemans working OK )

' "Your father's lightsabre," Kenobi told him. "At one time they were widely used. Still are in certain galactic quarters.'

Explanation for only Jedi PCs using them is .....?

and from what i understand, our highest damaging attack ( hit 3) has a modifier that is somewhere between .5 and 1 lower than some of the other proffessions, and it also has a posture change making it unusable as a major damage dealer in PvP
