in pvp melee characters are hard to keep off of you if they are going for you even if you stun and run

also melee characters being able to run right through you to break line of site and in combat stealth to run away when you get to 50% hp

I say melee characters have the advantage in swtor
As I stated before the LOS is HUGE disadvantage for melee. Because yall can run right through us too. Half the time I force charge I have to back up because Im apparently to close that I broke LOS. Ive played a JC and Ops. Ops I have some issue with LOS because of the melee abilities but JC no issues hardly at all. Try fighting a shadow or assassin without snaring them. Its LOS nonsense the entire fight.

Again...not a stun. It would be a stun if it didn't break on damage.

Chokes the target, crushing and stunning it while Force Choke is channeled.

Too bad you can't move while using it. That's if you aren't instantly interrupted by some for of the 500 thousand different interrupts in this game or if it actually works in the first place. But it's OK, you play a class where none of your stuns are channeled. Marauders are the only melee class I've every played in any MMO that doesn't have a stun.

Force leap/charge should break roots and slows. This would help tremendously.

It's funny though because you can get knocked back before you even reach the target and charge can be parried rofl.

It is a stun, you can bend and twist all you like, but it is a stun for all intents and purposes.

It is frikkin' saying so right in the damned skill description! Or maybe the word "stunning" has some new meaning nowadays?

k bro, useless "stun" (if that's what you want to call it). I bet you play a Sorcerer/Sage.
