there was a good post like 2-3 weks ago that broke down the defense stuff really well...
my understand is this...
inate armor caps at 100 or a rating of 10000
mdef gives you +70 inate armor
ndef +20 inate armor
force armor is +20 and imp FA is +40
imp. aura gives like +500 to melee and ranged def, i think... it might be like 250 not 100% sure about that..

I was just attacked by a BH while surrounded by 3 Gurks on Lox. I told the BH no payday for you today. I hit Force Run and Cloaked and got away. I am a full template Jedi and i noticed that with FA up I absorbed a huge amount of damge and it pretty much saved my neck, Is itworth keeping FA over Aura. I am asking because I was going to drop FA when I got Aura. Please give me your feedback and let me know what the pro's and con's are with Aura alone and no FA. I want to be effective in PVP and PVE.

ForceArura makes people hit less often and hit nearer their lower damage of the weapon. Force Armour is like a +40 Innate armour. They're meant to be combined in my opinion.

I have most of my template all except 1 tree
what i have so far is
Saber:master
Healer:4000
Enhancer: 3002
Defense 4040
i have 3 ideas
1. get the X4XX in enhancer for force armor which adds iniate armor
2.Get the X4XX line in defender which gives me ranged defense and some iniate armor
3.Get the XXX4 line in defender which gives me a mix of ranged and melee defense and gives me valor which adds to my mls block which could be very useful in a ranged fight but no iniate armor from this line
out of the 3 choices here which would you chosse and why
any feed back is apprecaited

Force Armor since Initiate + Novice Def + Force Armor is the same innate armor rating as Initiate + MDef. As long as you have Force Aura the Force drain is not that high.
If you plan on doing melee fights most of the time, go with Defender 4040 / Enh 3402, if you will be facing more ranged opponents go with Defender 0044 / Enh 3402.

go with force armor 2, with defender4x4x its like having 8000 armor, and with aura you hardly have to worry about ranged proffesions.

I have been working on changing template around a little bit. Right now I have 0020 Defender and 0200 Enhancer for defenses.The questionI would like to know if this is enough defense for now until I get Improved Aura at 0040 and Improved ForceArmor at 0400. Are these defenses good enough to fight off a BH while I am still grinding my template and making changes to it.

Was out testing stuff with ajedi friend last night.
I bought a bandolier (sp?) with +16 melee/ranged def.
I stand there with nothing on and he hits me for around 450 points, I put the bando on and he hits me again for 450 points, I turn on DS and he hits me for 440 points. When I put my armor on it pretty much cut it by 50%.
How does mitigation work, is my defense so low that +16 and +whatever you get from DS don't really matter?
Thanks

WHat would be more effective for pvp and pve with master lightsaber and 4000 healer
Improved Aura in defender and Force Armor
or
Improved Aura and the melee defense tree
I was thinking melee defense because it adds over 100 melee defense and cant be broke by armor break and doesnt use force like force armor
lets here some ideas
