I made my alt a nice damage capped scatter using the pre pub 22 scopes, the gun came out energy and I wasnt to bothered about this as it dosnt really make much difference against jedi.


Anyhow I only just got round to trying it out yesterday, I have an accuracy bonus of 60 and 948 max damage, but all I could hit was a max of 238 while most of my hits beign below 200.


My understanding was that these guns were still useable just the blast ones were useless, but the damage output off these are dreadfull.


Has anyone had similar problems to this?

I've sold plenty of them and Energy FWG5's - not had any complains from any of my customers.


What are you using it against?

I was using it against a jedi, i think he was master defender, but still usually when go against one I can pack more of a punch than that. Also I was using a damage power up

Ahh I wouldn't worry to much about it then.


Prob had one of his specials going and mitigating most of the damage.


Make sure you have verbose Combat messages switched on and check your combat log, I am sure you will see that you hit him for a lot more than that before mitigation.

hmm ok ill check that out next time, it just seemed odd that he was able to mitigate so much.

Believe me, it's not your weapon! Same has happened to me in the past with several weapons (kinetic/energy). Just part of the jedi abilities. Adds some nice variety to a fight.

If you run across a Master Defender that is also using Force Armor + a good PSG you will do very very little damage to them using mostenergy weapons, so this is not entirely unheard of.

Most Jedi use PSG thats why with 2k or more energy resit plus if hes Master Defender i think they get a big defense bonus

Thanks for the input guys


He wasnt usinga PSG as far as i could tell(didnt see any animations), i think now days jedi prefer to have a belt with stats on instead of a psg.


I gave up after this encounter cos i was so disheartened lol, ive never had this much trouble against master defenders before, but i have been out of the hunting game for a while.


Ill try again and see if i get the same problems.

Don't think jedi can wear a PSG since patch 22. Same with mabari belts, as they are considered armor again.

Master Defender + Improved Force Armor + PSG + SyntheSteak = no dmg from you.
