Proposal
Add new abilities or items to be used by normal professions so that groups have a better chance at fighting jedi.
Justification
Bring balance to the class system so players dont feel like their class picks dont matter.
Motivation
I won't lie. Facing an overwhelming number or jedi while your team can only field a few makes GCW not as fun. I don't mind being the underdog but it feels so one sided as to be mostly un-fun.
At this time in pvp it feels like Non-Jedi characters are mostly useless in GCW. Jedi are powerful and as it should be, but it seems like there are more jedi running around in GCW then non-jedi.
I do not have a specific solution but I would like to put a voice out there and say maybe tools should be granted to non jedi to help a team bring down jedi.

I don't particularly like this idea. The ordinary profession should not be able to take n a Jedi alone. Not even a BH. The best memory I had in live is when 2 BHs caught up with me and we have a massive fight that lasted 45 mins and it was essentially a draw. Thank God a third BH didn't happen along.

In PvP ... Jedi were always the first targeted. So that neutralized the treat from Jedi.
Unfortunately this isn't live and when there are 5 Jedi, "Focusing the jedi first" isn't particularly productive.

I really like the Idea Monkey mentioned about resistance but that doesn't really solve the problem as Jedi would still be hell to kill, as a Non-jedi you just might not get melted instantly.

As a non-jedi It does currently feel like there isn't much punishment for visibility, but once again that is another issue.

Someone mentioned the empire glassing a planet if they knew a Jedi was in a specific spot, I don't hate the idea of maybe a colonel/general GCW ability to call in and orbital strike, maybe on a obscenely long cooldown

If there is a lot of Jedi in any specific battle, I would think Jedi would target other Jedi and not be overly worried about Non Jedi. That would give non Jedi a longer life span.

I was only a Squad Leader for a brief time in live and never since. So I do not know what their capabilities are on R3, but perhaps squad leader can have a command like "concentrate fire" (or anything along that line) where ranged team members, either by choice or forced to, coordinate their fire power on a specific target? That would give Ranged, and maybe melee, a more impactful contribution in PvP. Make dots, blind, dizzy stack-able. I think spamming KD is a step to far.

Defense maybe a little boost to give non Jedi some longevity in a fight.

I just think making a non-Jedi character on par with a Jedi is not right. BTW ... I have not opened my Jedi slot yet. Still stuck on Part B. So I am not bias here.
