This happens to me all the time, but if I complained about it people would just say git gud.I was shooting the sith in the direct side of his body, not the saber, and they were being blocked. It wasn't head on. It was like a 90 degree. His body had little sparks coming off it deflecting shots.
Lol... It looks so terrible. Bouncy body blocks. Side hits shouldn't be blocked.You just have to remember to visualize a joust when they rollstab. The saber is the lance and the invisible wall of protection is their shield.
