Defense Vs Bh's , PvP for the inexperienced

[Alix]

Hello everyone.

I would like to start by saying, if you are LEET, and would like to add, dont flame or this will get locked. We have to band together and help each other against the BH power this server has. It is only going to get harder and the younglings need to know what to do "when" they get caught with their pants down. So please be constructive to help our new brethren.

Defense 101

1. The best defense is evasion
- You should not be on the boards before xx44 ls and channel. Do everything in your power to avoid the boards. In my previous post i gave some advice.

2. When evasion fails!
- This game has a very wide spectrum of mechanics that work in unison. Now i do not exploit, even if it means death, and i encourage those that live here to do the same, but there are game mechanics that are working as intended that can be utilized to help save ur arse. One of those things is range. Depending on the type of Bh that comes after you and whether or not it is a team will determine your strategy. Make sure that your non-jedi profession can still paste someone if needed, i recommend TKM or Rifleman because of what they has to offer in toughness, weapons and damage types and states.
- If a ranged BH comes after you, they are trying to keep you in a zone for maximum accuracy and out of range of your saber. You run towards them, they run away, you run away they catch up so you have to keep them guessing and catch them on a mistake to gain a range advantage. First thing you do as a low lvl jedi if a BH engages, equip a PSG, this will give you a short amount of time to equip your armor to lessen damage and start the dance. If you are rifles, equip armor and then equip t21 after PSG but before armor and shoot for their brains once armor is equipped. If you are TKM, same rule apply's. Second is heal up via medic from the damage they have done and eat your GTFO food at the same time. Now the dance begins.

Broken down
Bh comes and engages, equip PSG 30% min, Equip weapon from secondary class (this assumes less than xx44 ls), Heal and eat food, equip helm, chest, arm and legs.

Now the dance

if you are in open space, you are going to have a hard time and your burst run is going to be nullified by dizzy and stasis (assuming master bh) your goal here is to survive until you have an opportune moment to burst and either run to water or close the gap. If you are a rifleman, this is not as hard cause you have a means to shoot back.
- survive the initial battery and close the gap.
- aim for their mind pool and incap them by any means

If you are in a Line of Sight area your odds go up a great deal cause you can force them to lessen the gap. Remember that pvp is different than pve and you need to set up a defense in the case you dont like losing 500k xp.

I will keep adding, please comment with soem more strategy

Great tips.

A good food to always carry is Exo Protein Wafers. It reduced damage taken and can be eaten pretty much in mass.

Also, something to be aware of, having any actions in your combat que delays your action to get on your swoop. Also, using an ability, delays your action to get on a swoop. Something to be aware of when planning a quick escape.

def vs kd food, wafers, dodge food and muon with 2 heals in between helps.

And if you are dizzy KD, you can keep equipping, spam stand and heal and one will eventually through.. or you will be dead and then it doesnt matter.

Yes.

I followed the advice from my guildies, and went full out full melee def stack template before going into the jedi grind.
