Duplicating a thread in the Jedi Knight forum, but this has been around since launch and has yet to be fixed so I think it's justified to raise it again.

The bug is with the Jedi Knight Ranged DPS Companion:

His ability Overdrive Beam is completely broken, with these stats on a L51 Guardian:

Channeled: 3 secs

Cooldown: 15s

Range: 30m

 

Charges up a focused beam of energy doing 141 - 174 energy damage over 3 seconds.

The damage is clearly wrong for a L51 companion, and the reason is that this is a Force attack. All other abilities are Ranged or Tech, and the companion uses Aim as a primary stat.

This places the companion at a significant disadvantage to Ranged DPS companions for other classes.

As said, this has been reported numerous times since launch and perhaps in Beta too, so a fix would be highly appreciated by all the Knights wanting to use this companion more often.

Thanks,

J

(PS, huge thumbs up for adding this forum, hopefully it should serve to highlight the bugs assuming it does not get taken over by complaints. Glad to see service returning to normal following 2.1!)
