one of those two imho :

MLS/4440 defender/4000 healer/2002/ enhancer (pop it up to 3002 enhancer btw)

^ the easier template to play the better one for pve.

MLS/4040 defender/4000 healer/2402 enhancer..

^ the more powerfull but you will have to learn to channel and manage your force well when using it, probably the better pvp temp.

Both good templates, not a lot in it.

I think you need to decide on if you want to PvP or Duel. Depending on what design FRS has, that can make or brk things. Dueling is a whole dif. breed. One skill which I didn't see listed in the builds, was Hlr xx2x or xx4x. SAP is just underappreciated. It's death to CMs which will prob become the main stay for BHs. It's great in PvP and killer in 1 on 1 duels. Prob is you have to give up a lot for it. My current bulid is MLS/Def 4040/Hlr 4020/Enh 3004 - toss on your lovly Doc buffs (spd one) and you're killing most ppl in seconds. Down side it the action costs WILL catch you in longer fights, and of course you're vuln to your own build. SAP slows you down.

I like that build, but sadly am going to change mine to include cloak. I don't want to become one of the masses of Cloak Ninja's, but even assuming they get the current bug fixed, it's still just about the best PvP skill. Again, Dueling is another story.

anyone? gotta be someone with some knowledge between the two. I'm leaning towars Imp CoB cuz then i can focus on damage and not have to hit with Intimidate and warcry..although i think the pike line would be better for duels... not sure.. any input would be really really appreciated.

srry double post

I agree with prev post, right now I'm mdoc/mswords/x2xx TK, and I can't complain. I am the guild's main doc, so I need ability to rez. I never wear armor, but find myself quite capable of soloing most things in game. Tonight, after doing it with a friend, I went back and soloed Black Sun Assassins/Thugs on Yavin, cl 88, and havedone finewith my crazy boredom-generated runs through ns caves. Had no problems with imp CoB and mdoc buffs goin. Only problem is that it takes forever, with the huge sac costs of normal ph's. Get used to seein "too tired" message. I have generally been only healer who goes out with my normal grind group, and have to say that even with jedi spinning the lair it's rare to see incaps. Wouldn't really recommend this approach for pvp though, as the lack of non-swords attacks, especially status/area effects, really doesn't give you much versatility against smart players. As far as pve though, don't worry, this template does just fine as a tank and has no probs keepin everyone else fightin fit.

Best thing to do is pick a template you'll enjoy and don't worry so much about being Uber. That being said, if you're considering M Powers/Mdef maybe consider Healing 3xxx and Enh xxx2 for improved infusion, 1k heals, and channel to reduce down time. Another popular Powers temp is M Powers/M Enh where you actively manage your defense using forceunlike defender where it is passive. I am a MLS/Mdef and so I cannot specifically comment on how M Powers does in PvP, however, I have talked to a few and what they have told me is M Powers is good in PvE and PvP against non Jedi but not quite as good in jedi PvP. I have read posts on these forums from M Powers though that have said they do great in Jedi PvP so it likely boils down to knowing your template. Check the sticky at the top of the Jedi forums for the Jedi template guide by Insanius (spelling?) which discusses strengths and weaknesses of almost every possible template. Hope that helps!

Thank you very much for your comments, one question though..without Lightsaber of any kind would I then be inefficient and low damage using one? I would like to use a lightsaber and be semi effective with it but being dark jedi I do want the force choke and lightning attacks to be a primary means of damaging an enemy but also I would like to have rather good defense..as of right now I am MCM/TKM and am loving the TKM innate armor. I intend to go full into roleplaying mode once I get my jedi and am determined no one (well..hardly anyone out of my circle of friends) will know of my being a jedi till its too late and the master powers just seems to fit with the dark jedi concept I have in mind
