Watching AOTC the other night, I noticed that Anakin - who usually uses that nifty "hit back" Jedi deflection attack when fired upon by a blaster - never once tries to parry a shot from a Geo Pistol.
Do you think this is a coincidence, or is there something deeper here?
After all, from the pistol's description, it sounds as if the shots "explode" upon impact. Could it be that Anakin is aware of this and knows it's foolish to try and deflect the shots?
And more importantly, when are the Devs going to introduce this in the game!

Attack of the Clones was out even in Spain a couple of years ago - this is Episode 2 he is talking about.
And yes, there are geonosian sonic weapons in it

Check out when they are fighting in the droid factory on geonosis. While on the assembly line some of the geonosians are firing geonosian stun blasters at Anakin.

the reason he doesnt parry it is cuz he cant. lightsabers use there positive/negative energy (forget which one) to push back the energy from a laser. geo pistols used very high sound waves to do dmg, so they dont have an energy power to reflect. in this game tho they want everthing to be fair, so they allow geo pistols to be reflected by lightsabers.

Actually, I believe the geon pistol fires balls of sonic waves wrapped in a plasma layer.. On inpact the plasma layer breaks and the sonic energies are released
But I also read a cartoon where a jedi tried to block it, and she got knocked on her back pretty badly.. It is possible to block it, but its not something you'd want to do every day..
The suggestion is then as following.. Lower the block percentage for both geon and scatter pistols...
To keep it fair
Equal chance to block, but still take 25% damage. That'd be be more realistic and fair, after all we're saying you can block some, but not the whole hit.

Hmmm. I would have figured since in game jedi have such a hard time blocking melee (kinetic) attacks that the striker pistol might be of use. No joy and what about the launcher pistol. Devs for cryin out loud throw us a bone. Im getting tired of being ganked by jedi cause I stand 0 chance of even getting away.
Oh well...At least melee defense cant be blocked.

hmm a scatter shots out like 6 bolts at once and i fire my scatter once every second so thats 30 bolts in 5 seconds there is NO way a freaking jedi can block 3 bolts flying at him not even freaking yoda thats bs scatters should be unblockable

This info backs up his claim. Yes, a Geo Blaster should go straight through Lightsaber Block. It'd be great if Jedi didn't just chase us down like nunas just because we're Pistoleers and can't hit them.
