Fubs Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 well i have been lurking here for a while, and the new patch has forced me to raise my voice. The new patch has almost killed lightsiders, heal and absorb are practically useless now. Which leaves us protect and mind trick. I noticed that absorb doesnt stop anything any more, it gives you force but is no way a counter for anything. The damage still gets through. Lightning cannot be stopped by anything (neither absorb or protect seem to work) Absorb doesnt work against grip - didnt try protect Push/Pull still do their job Does mind trick work against grip - i never tried. Throw should still work against grip --- It may be that i didnt have absorb up high enough, but it seems that now a light side player has to have a lot of points in all of their powers to defend against the dark, otherwise a smart dark player using absorb/grip/lightning can easily find the cink in the lightsiders armor and just stick to the one power the LS player cant defend against. Just trying to adapt now all my old strategies dont seem to work any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubs Posted May 11, 2002 Author Share Posted May 11, 2002 I'm trying to make up new ones, im just asling if LS has any more counters to DS attacks that i dont know about, or that its just me playing with 2 stars in absorb when perhaps i need 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Btw, I thought absorb worked good for me...I'm gonna try it today again, to see if what you're talking about is true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplWulf Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 level 2 absorb doesn't stop full damage, you'll still get hurt, just not as much, you need level 3 absorb to not take any damage the purple one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcdavel Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Is anyone really threatened by grip anymore? It's not like I couldn't disable it in a half second with Absorb, but geez, sometimes I let the poor darksider float me around a few seconds out of pity for the pitiful sap.

Nill the Mean Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 If someone gripped me I would let him dangle me over the edge... and then PULL him! I have done this so many times by now and it gets funnier every time. "Ooooh, I got him and he's not resisting! I'll chuck him off this ledge..." "Think your smart, huh? *YANK*" "Aaaaaaaaaargh!" "Aaaaaaaaargh! Heheh..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONGRADULATIONS if you are going to be retarted, can you at least speak in english? 'eahothers' should be 'each other's'. 'CONGRADULATIONS' should be 'CONGRATULATIONS'.
