Not taking much damage : SWG Premium Discussions

[nimisis]

its mostly a combination of officer buffs and items, gcw buffs, stims and items i am sure - i have a friends that is general, but even before that he was pretty powerful - they take damage, but by the time they do u r already dead.
yea there are a few people out there exploiting something, yea - but for the most part - i am sure that what alot of u are encountering is a high ranking officer that has use and knowledge of all the buffs available to him, and is useing them efficently enough to make himself uber - in which u r not!

No. I watched someone who was a commando, ranked corporal buffed with pixie, elder buff, and a food that buffed stamina and constitution. Three buffs and I watched him take on 4 guys and win. He took on 2 other commandos, a smuggler and an officer. How can that be possible. They were in Restuss so mines couldnt have been laid. Doesnt make any sense.

My original post was about a non buffed BH and oh yeah I've seen other professions do this as well. Where they take on a fight and it appeared to take no damage at all. I would open with 4 Strong attacks and his health would not move at all. The combat log show all my attacks to be 11 points or less damage wich is real strange. Keep in mind this was a non buffed player that repeatedly came back to get my bounty doing the same thing over and over again. I still see this happening today but no one is talking.

ok, as for opening hits... first u gotta realize u need to neutralise your opponent's PSG (energy) before you'll even start to do actual damage with regards to their armor... now, keep in mind, PSG's DO recharge, even during battle, so if you're using an energy weapon, a PSG can cause hell for Jedi. Always keep a kinetic damage weapon on-hand for cases such as this. Next, be aware that crafted armor can have up to 8k energy resists (layered); ontop of that, they may have all sorts of agility buffs to minimize damage. And the newest BEOTCH of all... entertainer buffs... they can add 3750 to any 2 resists someone desires, as well as apply other buffs ontop. Hope this helps

True. I have a commando and with a ent buff and the armor buff commandos have and a PSG i dont take alot of damage unless ganked by 3-4 guys. But it could be exploit. But im just saying what i know

[tdubrow]

First of this sort of exploit has been happening way before these gcw buffs, entertainer buff, etc. were even in game. As for the psg point you are trying to make, if you mean that it is tough as a jedi fighting anyone with a psg that doesn't really make any sense. Psg's only have energy protection from ranged weapons not melee. Also, a psg will make no difference if you are using a Kinetic weapon so this whole psg thing is pointless.

K to all the people saying this is buffs or Lag its not.
I know of someone on our server doing this.
He was wearing clone armor. Had some buff 15k health or so. Level 89.

I had Ent buff (resists Const and Presion) full doc buffs and officer Buffs.

So 13k Kin 11.5k Nrg and 8k on the rest.

I have 420 const Luck and Presion in my mando suit.
So 21k health over 1k of const 1.4k of Presion 600 luck etc.

so I duel him and he completley nails me, I have fought lots of other comandos and even when they win its close.
I had stims C's reactive heal for 120 stim armor on

This guys health didnt drop below 12k

I then watched him duel a few other people. this guy was taking little to no damage at all.

What profession are you wynmb7?

[wynmb7]

Comando as well.
I also have a Elder Jedi and a Medic

[vinnyboy32]

Okay guys someone realy needs to investigate this. There is something going on and knowing my luck. We will find out and in a day or 2 they will fix it lol. So if anybody knows about this. Please fill us in

[vladteppes]

i'll work on researching it. I have a hunch on how some people are firing multiple weapons at the same time (to get all the different types of procs on someone) by making some type of macro, but I can't seem to remember exactly what it took to write a macro to switch weapons mid-combat; AND, I believe when they do this, the combat log often shows that you get hit by 1 weapon initially and that it procced, THEN, you get procced by 3 or 4 different effects starting the very next second. Kinda' fishy if you ask me. Serpant Shard, FTW... if it were stronger and had like a 10 min. timer.

[wynmb7]

Ive not seen the guy on in weeks nor anyone else doing it ....

[expurt]

Today I had a 3500 kin/en, 25% reactive heal buff that lasted for 5.5 hours.

With all my new stat packed clothing and medic buffs, on certian professions they would be unstoppable.

[vinnyboy32]

Yup....Commando can be one of them. My commando has realy well stat Jewelry, Spec Ops Armor, Commando Armor Buff, Medic Buffs And My Heavy Weapons Plus Ent Buff. It makes a commando hell to take down, I can take alot of rebs down by myself alone.....But maybe there is a wxploit who knows.

Also with all agility and glancing blow mods and pups, you could avoid a lot of damage too.
