@VetteC5RXI agree Chewie is ridiculous not to mention Impervious which can give him like about 1200 health when combined with bonus health. That bowcaster is annoying AF though, true. He used to be a lot worse tho, remember 3-shotting Vader w/focused rage in 2018? I do. He's nowhere near as bad as he once was.
@AnakinVader34 There are hit issues with passionate strike. These issues are similar to Phasmas staff strikes. At times they’re precise but other times they fail to register. The AOE for the recognition is too small when compared to the higher mobility of the gameplay that we see now. The servers simply struggle to resolve all of the conditions and movement and as a result both abilities are easily dodge-able. Annakins passionate strike does have a pretty big Telegraph but given that it bypasses block that’s fair.
The real elephant in the room IMO are the blaster users dodge hit detection nullification issue which makes saber strike hit detection problematic.
for similar server reasons mentioned above the fact that blaster characters won’t detect a saber hit until momentarily after a dodge use means that it’s not only possible but easy to use dodge in such a way as to keep your character from taking a majority of strikes. The hit detection doesn’t follow the characters visual render.
this is just my opinion but I think it’s valid and there are some other veterans who have game tested who can contribute here ... but .... IMO the game had too many arguments and conditions for the server to resolve with any regular accuracy and this contributes to a lot of the mechanics we see in game. Poor ability & hit detection, movement inaccuracies, input lag, etc.
