But that did not work on Malak, did it?!
Actually it did. It didn't knock him off his feet or anything, but depending on your class it would knock him back a few feet and it would effect his health. That may not seem like a big deal but it can provide you with a few seconds you might need to inject a medpac or battle stimulant of some sort. Those few seconds could make a world of difference.
You really only need Force Wave to win the game. In fact, I've heard folks say that it was TOO powerful. It made the game anti-climactic.
Why waste a turn on medpacs or stims, if u want to use them do it in the invetory so that u dont loose a combat turn!!!
