Keep in mind that a jedi regens 5 FP per second, so if you poison dart them, that turns into 2.5 FP per second. It would take 3 seconds for me to block the lowest draining FP shot of any gun at close range. E11, the most used gun in the game, does 9 FP up close on a blocking jedi. It would take me 4 seconds to get enough FP to block 1 E11 secondary shot up close. P3, the other gun BH gets, does up to 12-17 FP on a jedi up close, making it take 5-7 seconds to block 1 P3 shot. Keep in mind that these darts are also hitscan, so if you can aim at all, the jedi is NOT dodging these darts. And ruptor being outclassed by proj because of point costs? It is literally a Hitscan lazer beam that can 1 shot a wookiee. You peak a good ruptor, you die.
And this is all in a 1v1 scenario, the moment you have a 2nd teammate ever, It might as well be turning off my FP regen, because 2.5 FP regen per second is not going to make a difference at all.
and with the recent jedi and sith buffs making guns do less fp damage
Most of the guns got FP buffs tho, the only guns that got nerfs were the super high draining guns, or the guns with high ROF.
The only thing making FP drains do less were on saber defense 0 and 1, defense 0 was kinda pointless because you cant block shots with it at all unless you have deflect (might not be a thing anymore), and saber defense 1 still means your eating 22 FP up close from a P3, 18 FP from a bowcaster, 41 FP from a t21 primary. etc
