I just got a character to lvl 50 for the first time, a Mercenary. I went to Ilum today and engaged in some PvP with a Scoundrel in the central assault area. I got the jump on her character, and proceeded to stun her and then unload my arsenal upon her. I used a lot of abilities on her almost to the point where my heat was maxed before she killed me, and she only attacked me three or four times and completely killed me. Obviously there is something I'm missing here, we are both level 50 so how could she do that much damage to me with only a few attacks. My stun only worked very briefly and I only damaged her health by about 5%. I have run into this problem many times in PvP. My gear isn't purple or anything, but its pretty decent so I don't understand how she could hurt me so much? I'm trying to get better gear but I don't gain much money, I haven't had over 100,000 in about 10 levels.
