I just dont get how rooting a target leaves them unable to employ a ranged attack such as saber throw. Root seems to completely immobilize the victim.

Yeah, you may 'pwn' at PVP. Dont let it go to your head. It ain't real. you probably had a lot of milk money beaten out of you in the past.

I just wish the jedi would get it through their tiny little brains that they aren't invincible. They shouldn't be able to own everything that comes against them. The devs said many times before that jedi are supposed to be 1.5X stronger than any other profession. To me this means if a jedi meets 2 bounty hunters that are level 80(bounty hunter + a different profession each) the jedi is going to die. They should realize this by now and stop their incessant whining. And if I'm not mistaken don't jedi have a root of their own that they can use? I mention this because I have been rooted by a jedi before in a friendly duel. But maybe thats just my imagination...if it isn't they have no room to whine. If they need to whine about something then maybe they should ask for a way of reducing visibility.


I know I would much prefer jedi fighting other jedi rather than all the crap thats going on now. But I'm not a completely heartless sob. How about this jedi can group with other jedi or fight other jedi without gaining visibility. If they group with non jedi or are seen fighting or showing off their powers to non jedi then the entire bounty hunter population of the server should consider them fair game to hunt till a bounty hunter kills them...then back to 0 visibility. Death by Bounty hunter(s) should also effect their FRS or Jedi council standing as a punishment to rogue Jedi knights that feel they must reveal themselves to non jedi and impact the lives of non jedi. And in so doing this would be a just way to enforce jedi not revealing themselves and to keep them hidden from the non jedi public. Jedi are overpowered against non jedi....so keep them out of non jedi affairs. I'm really tired of this incessant whining and nerf crying from the jedi/bounty hunter populace. Or we could ask that if anyone sees a jedi or padawan with their lightsaber out or even their tags showing that everyone can join in and blast them all to oblivion. Something needs to be done i'm tired of being nerfed because of jedi whines because they failed to keep themselves off the terms. You want to be overpowered one on one against non jedi fine....but don't whine cause you die to multiple bounty hunters...because of your own stupidity or arrogance. Padawans aren't jedi yet and because of this they should fear even solo level 80 bounty hunters...because only jedi knights are 1.5x stronger than a single non jedi profession so therefore they should expect to die....over and over and over until they learn how to stay off the terms.

i suggest you go give it a QFE and show the devs just how you feel.





Ok, this is beyond silly.

Someone just called Jedi "the weakest profession in the game" in that thread.

Seriously.

I would still greatly prefer a system of diminishing returns than static timers for rooting/mesmerize abilities. It's fair because it opens up the avenue for "if you can outlast the rooter's damage, you can win" scenarios.


I've had duels with pike/TK/medics that have been virtual deadlocks except for my ability to root endlessly (resuling in boringduels that can last up to 10 minutes). If my root ability were to phase out of usefulness on a timer after the 4th use on that single target, then it's a lot more fair and would probably result in my death - or at least a better battle.
