I have seen a difference using it. But need it macroed so I dont forget to reactivate it. Trouble is it seems to interrupt some specials....

i noticed DS amazingly decrease dmg i have (in PVE). I always use it.

Im gonna watch it. Im disappointed by previous posts.

its awesome in pve in pvp im sure its broke cause cob and force aura thought they are both 500 are awesome? so i think it needs a big fix, when i have (with duelist n foods 620 melle def and a jedi hits me for 800 im like werm does def do anything?

I don't live without it. As MBH/MSL, I primarily tank creatures and npcs. With advanced duelists stance, I can just stand there. Creatures don't care if you run around, and players do a lot less damage too. Since rifles are really popular, the people using them don't want to run around or their accuracy gets too bad. However, to all the CMs that don't use it, I don't really use my mind, except for SL actions which have such a long cool-down that my mind is always at full. I can understand the mind cost for CMs, they heal much faster than duelist stance blocks damage.

I use it all the time have it on a reaccuring macro.

testing in pvp:

headhit without duelist stance: 871

headhit WITH duelist stance: 858

Again....not worth it

only time i use it is mass pvp where those little bits add up, but for fighting good jedi, its worthless

aye, but your missing its other side. with ACC VS Def.

tested with a RM friend (cl80) he hit 10 out of 10 shots, with out DS running. he hit me all 10 times
With DS running, he missed 5 out of 10 times! so althought the shots he hit me went down say 20-30pts of damge, he did not hit me 5 of the times, so stopping 5x400 damage (was testing with ranged shot)

Aginst a single mobe of equal level the stance is not as important. But anings a mobe a few levels higher than you or multiple targets of equal the stance can make all the difference between victory and a trip to the cloner.

I'll break it down for you all.

Vs ranged attacks it can be worth it.

Vs any Jedi never use it unless they have no saber and are master powers.

Increased def does the following, increase the chance of a miss, and decrease the damage output closer to the minimum damage of the weapon being used against you. The higher your def over their acc is, the lower the amount of damage they will do. Hereis where the problemis.Lets compare a lightsaber to arifle. lets saythe saber is damage 565-650, and the rifle is510-1183. As you can see, the minmax damage spread between the saber and rifle is significant. Whats all this mean? Its simple,high def will affect the damage output of a rifle by quite a bit, where as highdef vs a lightsabermeans very little.

Keep in mind that damage is NOT reflected back at the target if they are using a melee weapon against you, so no 25 points of damage reflected when fighting a jedi.

Also, the increased chance to miss you is almostnot noticable at all. I have a base def of 220, with melee def food +100 and duelist stance+250 my melee def of +570 seems to do littleto increase their miss rate, even when combined with slapping blind on them. Feel free to run tests vs afull template Jedilike I did if you like. I expect you'll come to the same conclusion...

I don't use it in pvp, but in low-level pve against ranged npcs it's amazing. I return like 70% of the shots of lvl 40 npcs.
