JK2 Force Combo's

Doodee

Just wondering what sort of Combo's yee ppl use for JK2?
Just played online and was using the Mind trick untill I realised that the Dark boys could use Sight to counter it... I thought that in the Original only the light boys could use Seeing and Mind Trick (Persuasion back in those days) as the Dark boys can use both Grab Drain and Lightning. they should really fix that as it macks the game total biased towards the Dark side.
both protections dont seem to work that well either.
Apart from that the games is great..
your thoughts?

On net i'd say Dark side is much better simply because its so fkin hard to hit anyone with a saber with any kind of lag. The DS powers work a lot better with lag, the LS ones are all defensive that rely on you being able to take your enemies with the saber.

Mind trick is alright, bare in mind if your enemy uses sight - it takes a fair bit of his force power to do and his force power doesn't recharge until it runs out. Force absorb pretty much stops the enemy from using any force powers on you at all, dunno how effective the protect is though.

i stopped playing on force duel servers because it just becomes a 'who can drain+Grip' faster competition. The dark powers really need tweaking.

Yea, I agree wiv u dustaz, was playin there online a while ago and the Choke and then drop over a pit and Drain get really annoying. Absorb is good however no1 will use force powers while u activate it which spoils the point. and the sight lasts long enough for u to fire a few rockets or do a few chokes/lightning's to get rid o yer NME. I'd say it would be far more fun if the light side could use Mind trick properly wivout darkside being able to use Sight, that would even out the Grip+Drain ****e as they couldnt use them if they cant see u

Yeah, the drain + grip combo is pretty annoying, especially in Duel

Drain and grip are great on maps like bespin and streets where you can throw people down pits.

If you have any force power left when someone grips you you can force push them away, this will break the grip. If they keep draining you just go light and absorb hooer :E

And if you don't have any force power left?

Curse your own sillyness for letting yourself be gripped and for not leaving yourself with any force power reserve

Spiffing

Ah, but they used drain?

Pepe LeFrits

Curse your slowness to counter with absorb

... this could go on for a while

Kaids, just admit that the game is unbalanced and get on with it:)
