if you duel someone and they burst run after a kd its over. Next comes the root and the distance widens till you are nothing but a pin cushion.

I can see now way around this. I know you are all gonna beat your chest and say how awesome you are but if you faced yourself as a ranged player, you would lose, everytime!!

There is nothing you can do.

Its pretty crappy to get rooted. But there are ways to prevent or lessen the effect. Use your surroundings. Ranged people can no longer shoot through terrain like hills, for instance. Try to keep your melee combat in close-quarters areas. Getting rooted in a starport is generally different than getting rooted out in the open.

Also remember: YOU HAVE LUNGE!!! IT HAS A10m RANGE! Not all BHs/Pistoleers/Smugglers know this. I have killed a few while rooted by lunging, and man are they surprised.

i stand there laughing with improbed cob and improved bacta infusion ticking away while my health bar remains at between -500 and full, laughing at the ranged player untill the root breaks then burst run at them hacking untill they are dead. If my burst run has already been used, i slowly trott after them using lunge to tickle them untill i catch up, then i kick there head in.

You need to experiment with templates while the respec is up. Improved cob is essential, i can assure you and so are many other specials but i'll leave you to work the rest out, pretty pointless me spelling out how to pvp on here then wondering why i cant win anymore in game

KD Recover pulls you out of a root??!

And yes, worth nothing also is that if you have a high defense template andgood armor and foods most ranged people can pound away for several minutes without doingfatal damage.

Like the others said, lunge is probably the best bet before they get out of range.

all else failing, pull out your own rifle and plink at them while the root wears off... We may only have Ranged Shot, but it's better than just standing there getting pounded

Bah, Jedi scum!!

Anyway, seems like the best solution is to take some doctor in your template and give up on some specials and defense. However, which line of doctor would you take? The one that heals DOTs or the one with bacta spray or both, like 2200 vice 4000 or 0040.

So which is better as far as doc is concerned?

I do use lunge but at 30+ meters its useless and when I burst so do they.

I find cloak to be useful versus root, they root then kite away, I cloak and they cannot attack haha

I then run and use lunge

Let me guess you have no idea what Warcry does do you? You think it stops them from firing at you, well shows that you know nothing.
