I'm hunting on dath right now and I was killing some nightsisters and I noticed it was a lot easier then before. I looked at the dmg numbers above my head and low and behold I wasn't being hit for as much, so the first thing that came to mind was a stealth buff for Trandoshans glovless hands and feet (didn't see any of the usual 800-2200 dmg hits on my poor hands), but then it hit me why it was so much easier:
The Nightsisters are not using any specials.
I fought a group of 7 Stalkers and then a group of 12 rangers and not one of them used a single special on me. No more UAH3, no more dizzy/KDs. Set your engines to farm ladies and gents because dathomir is a candy land right now.

I took a picture of hte combat log from fighting a protector. It didn't use a single special on me. Image Dump appears to be down, but I'll post it when it comes back up.

I logged in after getting home, forgetting that I logged out in the middle of the battlefield for fun, and when I came back I was at 75% HAM and had killed2 rangers, a sentinel, and was almost done with a spell weaver.

something funky is up. the day of the patch I could not knock down or intimidate a single nightsister (master brawler with +15 BE shirt) but the loot was fabulous. I killed 20 or so of them and my inventory was full. Today I tried it. intimidate stuck nearly every time and I could knockdown whoever I wanted. I must have killed 50 today and got nothing but credits. bring back the challenge! farming gets boring if there is no risk.

Yeah, it seems like they fixed the 'armor hole' but didnt fix the NS force powers. I took 5 ranger barely taking any damage. The I exhausted a spawn of Spell Weavers, Protectors, and sentinals non stop (like 15 in a row). It was pretty fun. No good loot though, just a few weak pikes

I think this publish has gone heywire , as the nightsisters were soposed to get there force powers back , and are now easy to kill , but we on farstar are having hugh problems , Guild & group Chat not working the server crashed 6 times on tuesday ,along with other stuff the nova troops are gone , which is a shame as the normal strom troopers are way to easy

The biggest thing you guys are experiencing is the fix for the Armor Hole bug. I dont knowif they are doing specials, but you wont see gigantic hits going through like when an elder would suddenly pound you down for 3k damage. You wont see that anymore with armor on.Perhaps their specials are tied in with the damage they do. Who knows. All I know is I am going to hunting NS till I am sick of the game, haha.

My first response to the fact you get hit for less, is the armor hole fix? could be the simple reason why you're being hit less. It could also mean that now somehow you're armored on your hands and feet as well, which you shouldn't be.
