Thanks Okin:
I normally only take damage from jedi in my health/action pools, but this is also because of the fact that that I can get my mind up to around 6k.

Thanks Oberon:
I was just wondering if anything in the game I could use had lightsaber resists, but it looks like these is nothing. A few speed tapes and a Ackley ph is on my list.

Actually, There are some PSG's out there that have lightsabre resists. They stay there after you take them off the vendor, but i have yet to test if they protect against lightsabre. Well, that happened in my scenerio.

1. psg's are broken against LS's so it wont help
2.its hard hitting them with a Ph or scythe
3.make sure u are buffed and hope someone heals u cause they dont like jedi's running around

jedis get damage bonus of 1.56% to things with ar0. So it's better to have armor to get that ar1. I think a psg will work, if not some lightwieght bone/tantel/chiten would work.

Hey guys I’m starting to get into pvp and I seem to do ok with my build (primary swordsman with tka/mbrawler/fencer/medic). I have tried to read up a bit on the dueling but still have a few questions reguarding any chance at winning against a jedi enforcer or higher.
1. Should I wear armor? I heard someone saw that if the armor you’re wearing doesn’t have a resist to an attack the armor ratingdoesn’t make a difference, that’s the case the extra 600 secondary stats may help a bit.
2. What food should I grab for jedi dueling? I just hit 2 Vercupti and 2 brandy normally with mind buffs/doc buffs I can end up with 5-6k to all my ham bars and use a pixy or muon if I need it. I was wondering if finding a good duration synthsteak would help more than the second vercupti, but most are 35-40 attacks and that doesn’t take long. Any Ideas here would help.
3. I use psgs for fencers/rifleman that come my way, is there a psg that can help me here? Someone said you could make (or used to be able to make) a psg with lightsaber resists.

4. Is there anything in the game that does have lightsaber resists?
5. I last about 1-2 minutes in a jedi duel and normally wipe out at least half of their mind bar. Would dropping some of tka to pick up stim D help me? Although I really don’t like the idea, kind of sounds cheap to me, but when I’m overt and getting hit by 3 guys I could use the healing. Also anyone know the amount of healing I could get off stim D’s and what the mind cost would hit me for?

6. The only non-jedi character I’ve had problems with was a pikeman with a sick mind poison dot on a nightsister lance. Is there a food drink that can slow/lessen or heal poison/disease? If I pick up a little more of medic to use stim Ds will this allow me to also heal disease/poison?
7. Anything else you can think of that helps you take down a jedi would be great too.
I was reading around the forums and noticed that people use warcry to hold while you get intimidate up, never thought about that, that’s a great idea. Yea I’m a nub I wear that badge with pride 
Anyone that can help me out here, I thank you in advance.
Hope to hear your ideas on this,

1) Don't wear armor it only hurts you, but if the Jedi has non jedi buddies you might want some on
2) Try Synthsteak for 45% damage reduction, Brandy, Ahrisa, Parawan Nutricake gives you insta burst runs if your getting beat, maybe keep a vercupti for emergencies along with a muon.
3) PSG's are just like armor, see point 1
4) No, nothing has lightsabre resists
5) That depends are you dieing to mind or health or action? If you are dieing to health or action it probably could help.
6) After the next patch docs will be enhancing resists to desease/poisons, also there is a food called cor-na-hoola or something like that that could also help. No one is quite sure how the changes will effect deseas/poison yet so that point is kinda still up in the air
7) Get your own uber DOT weapons and throw on a nice mind fire and mind poison to go along with your mind attacks.

Any Ideas here would help. it's all a matter of preference. Personally, my PvP foods consist of 2 brandies, a citros Snow cake, and a Vercuppti.
3. I use psgs for fencers/rifleman that come my way, is there a psg that can help me here? Someone said you could make (or used to be able to make) a psg with lightsaber resists. Not sure about this. I've heard that PSGs can have LS defense, but I've also heard it a bug that disappears when you take it off the vendor.
4. Is there anything in the game that does have lightsaber resists? as far as?
5. I last about 1-2 minutes in a jedi duel and normally wipe out at least half of their mind bar. Would dropping some of tka to pick up stim D help me? Although I really don’t like the idea, kind of sounds cheap to me, but when I’m overt and getting hit by 3 guys I could use the healing. Also anyone know the amount of healing I could get off stim D’s and what the mind cost would hit me for? if you are going to dump all of your HAM into mind and secondaries, yes...otherwise you'll just drain your mind much faster, and any good Jedi will just switch to 1h saber and headhit you to death.
6. The only non-jedi character I’ve had problems with was a pikeman with a sick mind poison dot on a nightsister lance. Is there a food drink that can slow/lessen or heal poison/disease? If I pick up a little more of medic to use stim Ds will this allow me to also heal disease/poison? Look for a new Doc poison/disease resist buff near you...
7. Anything else you can think of that helps you take down a jedi would be great too. Speed cap, Acklay PH damage sliced, and SnowCake are a Jedi's worst nightmare....look out for a /forceRun3 near you.

dont wear armor
eat synthsteak
when ur health or action or both are getting low hit warcry, then IMMEDIATELY after u have delayed them hit a stim or 2 on ur self.
trust me keeps u alive for a looooong time.
we have a dark jedi on tarquinas who just made rank 3 (cower) in the frs... i havnt fought him with his rank 3, but we would duke it out 1 on 1 sometimes. he only ever beat me once.. all the other times he was in groups and i ran, or i was beating him 1 on 1 and he ran. or lol i was in a group and he ran...

Like Kel said, they get the bonus if armor is vuln to something. Wearing armor gives you an AR1 rating vuln to LS, so you get the extra dmg from AP2
