Well if he had following:

Mind buff from a mucian

drak 2 BE brandy +400

eat some carnap or arsh

and had a good comp armor on with high energi resist and a PSG with 40+ %

Its very posible that you dont damage him much with your 8 attacks...

he could have 3k+ to focus and willpower that combined with a good armor on 80-90 % energy resist and the PSG would make him very hard to hurt. You should also use a damage PU in PVP and unless you have a real good T21 you sould use a jawa stun rifle as it uses stun damage

plz type the stats on your T21.

"...for it is so far from how one lives to how one should live that he who lets go of what is done for what should be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation. For a man who wants to make a profession of good in all regards must come to ruin among so many who are not good. Hence it is necessary to a prince, if he wants to maintain himself, to learn to be able not to be good, and to use this and not use it according to necessity." - The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, Chapter XV

in short you should never use a t21 in pvp. ever. energy is one of the easiest damage types to defend against. a jawa however does stun damage and though it might not have a high max damage like your t21 its very hard to protect. most people wear around 35% stun armor if any, whereas they can have up to 90% energy resists. and if they have a PSG on then a dxr cuts right through that as they are vulnerable to acid damage. if he was human with full mind migration, 2 brandies, 2-3 canapes, muon, music/dance buffs, with 90% energy armor on with a PSG it is very likely that you didnt do any damage. also, he was a combat medic, so it is also quite possible he couldve healed his mind...i'm not 100% sure if you can heal your own mind as a CM as i have never been one, but that couldve been a factor too

Teh Uber Clicky Maker!

I've got a 447 Jawa and a 776 T-21, and I almost always use the T-21 b/c the AP3 and already high damage really kick 'em around. The DXR-6b is ok, but I'm yet to get a really nice one. I mostly use it for PvE, though. I know you shot off all those attacks, but did you check if you ever hit him? With all the stackers, it'd be more than possible you missed 8 shots in a row.

PVP is a different game. You see a strong PVP person coming your way, you know your dead unless you are truly prepared. Truly prepared means synthsteak eaten and not in your stomach, dancer and musician buffs for your mind, 2 brandies, powerboost activated, 80%+ sliced base comp with 40% stun layer, a 50%+ sliced Imperial PSG freshly equipped, a mix of foods in your stomach that covers your weaknesses in defense, 50%+ pikatta pie, not wearing extra encumb armor layers like so many still wear (pants, biceps, bracers...) and having strong krayt, acklay, and DOT weapons ready to go.

In your case, I'd guess that your attacks missed him and that's why you did no damage. Pikatta pie can account for that - it adds to the initial roll for whether an attack will hit or miss. T21's have poor range mods and if they aren't powered up with a range mod powerups, are useless in PVP unless you have already stuck a stun on your target. I'd also suggest getting deadeye serum (adds 50% to your accuracy), using a good range-mod dxr6 to stick stuns on your opponent instead of a T21, and to use Citros Snow cake (adds 40 to your accuracy). My $.02.

35% stun resists, plus 46% on a PSG means that the Jawa is not the king it used to be 90 vs. 80 percent and AP1 vs. AP3, I'd probably take the AP3. With that damage, I'd probably go with the Acid Rifle or T21 most of the time. Take some accuracy food.

might shed some light.

PVP helmet 38% stun gets a 35% base slice, and now has 90% res on energy and acid (close to my current pvp helm). couple with a 55% psg and mind buff/food and you aint gonna do much damage 8)

PSG totals are not added on top of resists. 35% stun helmet plus 46% stun psg does NOT equal 81% vs. stun. First the 1000 dmg attack is blocked by 46% by the PSG so only 540 dmg gets through. Then that 540 dmg is stopped by 35% by the helmet so in the end351 dmg gets through. So a 35% helmet plus a 46% psg will stop 649 points of damage from a 1000 damage attack, or 64.9%, not 81%. So yes, a stun weapon with AP1 is still a much better option than going against 90% energy, especially since that stun psg will be burnt in about 5 shots.
