OkayI wanted to know that if you can only pick 1 row in defender, what would be the most beneficial row to have. I have enough points for 2 rows, but I wanted to go 0004 enhancers as well. The row that I am looking for would be good for PVP against BH and Jedi. I am thinking 0040 which gives you force Aura. What do you guys think.

You might be a respec jedi when......

it depends on what you do more IMHO if your only going to get 1 row i say get x4xx you get pwnd by ranged BH's without it saw a "jedi master" get pwnd 2 times with no defender from 1 ranged rifleman in a dual. Aura is for melee attacks not ranged so its greatwhen dualing a jedi or any melee player or NPC(s) but your going to want some ranged def unless you got like FR3/Supression and or cloakto get away from ranged BH's.

Here's a breakdown of defenses with each line:

4000 = +25 ranged / +115 melee / +22 innate armor.

0400 = +115 ranged / +25 melee / +22 innate armor.

0040 = +50 ranged / +60 melee / +10 innate armor / +Aura [+500 melee defense?]

0004 = +50 ranged / +60 melee / +10 innate armor / +Valor = increased saber block

Ranged is the new melee. Aura will only apply if a bh manages to get within melee ranged and valor only slighlty helps with saber blocks. Considering the "uber" weapons are now ranged, most bh'rs will be ranged. I'd go with 0400 so you have built in ranged defenses.

not 100% sure in pvp if aura works but i garuntee it works in pve as i have been in mobs when my maco goes off ( lag i guess ) and i started getting hit hard.

try dualing without using aura and after the fight look at the combat log damge you take, then fight again with aura on i bet you take less damage on your hits.

I will test this my self now that i think about it lol

Dont even kid yourselves. If you can only get one line you get force aura period end of conversation.

enhancer IMHO

personaly i see no use to take 4xxx enhancer as FR1 is better becuase u can use it for offence also ( notice FR1 give you i think 30 Terrain Negotiation now sowith travel biscuits + 18 TNyoustill run pritty friggin fast even over hills also supression 1 is good enough i use it all the time and it works great. Force speed in this line is great also as thier is no cap on speed now.

FA2 is very draining on your force so i am told but since you have little defender I would at least test this to see how you like it, just know it is very draining on your force pool ( agaisnt a MLS is even worse or mob

I have the xxx4 line in enhancer my self and i love it meditate is very helpfule and a big time saver even with chanel force witch is another reason to get this line along with force wave ( slows down target ) so you get 3 very helpfule skills witht the xxx4 line

best thing to do though is take advice but test things out and in all situations and see what you like

take xx4x defender and go fight a ranged lvl 80 person ( good lvl 80 see how you do just dont expect to take more than 1 ranged profesion and i bet 1is going to be pritty ugly unless you got some some good healing skills.

do the same thing with enhancer its a big plus to use the respecs

for one, enhancer statsis is great.

another thing...from dev responses, i believe fr1, fa1 and 'improved saber throw' will be fixed as seperate abilities at some point.

if the frs goes back the way it was and you are perma overt, fr1 will not be enough. someone with fr2 will root you and his group will flay you.

i am trying to help this guy, thier are many many things that can happen in the game and we cant take all the jedi skills so its a matter of making choices. give your opinon to him and let him make up his mind.

yes a FR2 could catch a FR1true but if its a mob on 1 i am going to screwed anyway so its all good. I am looking at BH' s in this situation not jedi. FR1 for me is anoffensive weapon and a gettaway from BH's and even jedi used withsuppression works i have done it ( will it work all the time no but i dont expect it to ) you can also use cloak or FR3, we are all diffent skills and abilitys.

You ask Bounty Hunters how best to go against them.

I'd advise unequipping your lightsaber and doing the chicken dance for maximum defensive bonuses.
