Thread: Combat Level...when does it matter?
CL always matters.I don't know all of the math involved, but the higher your CL above your opponent, the more of a damage bonus you receive upon hitting. There is also a bonus associated with attacker's accuracy when compaired to defenders appropriate defensive skill. To get a taste of what effect CL has, just group with a CL80 PC and attack a CL80 mob and take note of the damage you do and the damage you take. Then ungroup and attack the same mob, you will see a large difference unless you are CL75+.
I honestly don't see how a CL71 could kill a CL80 PC unless that CL80 had a horrible template or the 71 *really* knew what they were doing and the 80 did not. Defeating a Jedi that is less than 3/4 templated is fairly easy for anyone with good combat skills and equipment in the CL70-80 range.

Might just have answered that yourself, the 71 might just be grouped with a 80 everytime. More or less nullifies much of the difference if his template is good.
EDIT : Cause I cant spell if my life depends on it.

The damage modifers between CL have no effect in PvP & so apart from the HAM differnce you have you are at no real disadvantage. But then since you have powerboost it matters less since you have that extra 500 health anyway.
I do think nearly everyone is still too focused in that little number that might not matter as much as they feel it does.
But physically comparing a 1v1 with you as a lvl 20 and a lvl 80 picket u will get destroyed. just depends which situation

Personly I don't believe it makes as much differnce people make out, at least as long as you are going to be grouped with a CL80 for PvE so the damage modifier doesn't effect you as much (remember you take the CL of the highest group member).

The Corro is right! Im level 76 at the moment because I dropped 4004 doc to 3003 doc and picked up bacta toss for the time being. Im still just as evil in pvp as I was when I was 80. The only difference is the little bit of ham you lose, but its not very much to be even noticeable.
I was able to take out 2-3 level 80's before dropping to 76 and I still can.
It does have an effect on pve though, so make sure your grouped when doing high end pve.
