A bunch of jedi padawans are going to ganked by squads of SL led BHs who will gain the benefit of having an SL in their squad of five while a single jedi padawan must go it alone, whether he/she is grouped or not.
This is by design. The road from Padawan to Knight is meant to be lonely and fraught with peril.
And I am saying that the design makes no sense. You are out with a friend of yours, a group of five guys comes up and proceeds to beat the hell out of your friend, you stand there and say/do nothing. Once, they have beaten your friend into unconsciousness, one of them walks up and knifes him in the heart. You still just stand there, doing nothing.
Does that sound like a scenario that makes any sense to you? It doesn't make sense in the real world and it doesn't make sense in the context of the game either.
Well doing it the other way made it more like West Side story. And while I did appreciate the long musical numbers and the timeless coming of age story of two lovers, I felt that the gang violence between Jedi defense squads and BH gank squads(often with a jedi of the other faction) somewhat betrayed not only the vision of Jedi per George Lucas, but also the sense of quality gameplay SOE was striving for.
When your and imp your an imp. da da da. From you first blaster shot to your last dying breath....
It's still a buggy system that needs a bunch of work.

The BH/Jedi combat system is supposed to work independantly from eveything else. No medics or SLs are supposed to be able to help either side... Unless a member of the BH team is part Squad Leader and has the mission.

*nod* I agree. I was just curious if anyone had tried this post TEF removal.
Found out the hard way that it works for Jedi.
Removing SL from the equation wouldn't end up nerfing us as all. The main problem that needs to be addressed is the number of BH that are able to go up against a single Jedi. If you think about it... if you have a SL with at least 3000 BH, they should be able to get the Jedi Mission and provide benefits to the other BHs who have the mission as well. But is that too much of an advantage for a group of BHs?
Its something thats going to have to be addressed.
The BH/Jedi TEF is supposed to prevent Jedi Protection Squads and BH Gank Squads. The 5 BH vs 1 Jedi is a different issue altogether.
There is also a bug where other Jedi are able to heal the Jedi in the BH/Jedi TEF. The system is far from perfect with some pretty big holes. All I can ask from you guys is to send in those bug reports.

So, Irott, you are telling me that it's good that 5 BHs, one of whom is an SL, should get the advantage of having an SL in their 5 man gank squad, but that a jedi grouped with an SL should not?
