Terrifying Swing says Jedi cannot Evade or Resist the effects of the attack. Cool. However, I find that whenever I use Terrifying Swing against a Jedi who has Foresight (QGJ and Yoda are usual) the Jedi suffers Ability Block and takes damage, but does not lose Foresight. What's up?

His basic isn't a dispel, so what's the problem? He goes through the foresight as it can't be evaded, so the foresight stays.

His swing cannot be resisted this clearly goes through foresight. So it doesn't really make sense for it not to expire its not like Vader missed... Just never sat well with me even tho its always been like thisIt's a game; try not to over think it.Attacks that can't be Evaded are good for the game. But if the few attacks/abilities out there that can't be Evaded also took away Foresight, then that makes it a pseudo dispel, which then makes the move more powerful than it should be.

why would the jedi lose foresight though? He didn't evade.

So what are the exact mechanics of Foresight? Maybe that's my issue.

Attacks that can't be evaded will not interfere with foresight as foresight is meant to evade a single hit. Even attacks that can dispel will not dispel other buffs on the target with foresight. You can try out DN's basic attack on a target with foresight.

unless it's an unavoidable dispel, like thrawn's fracture.

If it didn't evade it didn't really have foresight. Rename foresight.

Works the same way with Grievous in HAAT (well. regular grievous too, for that matter, but since he's terrible no one ever uses him.....) Since these toons don't trigger the evasion it stays. While a little weird I think it just works, and works well.
