Hi Guys,
I read a couple of posts by TH last weak talking about how defensive mods will not stack after the patch. So am I correct in thinking that my fencer ranged defense mods will not work when I am using my laser rifel to reduce the HAM of a NPC before going in for the kill? or am I reading into this wrong. Will there just be a lower cap? Any info appreciated

you are correct, what will happen is you will only have the mod active when you are holding a weapon from that profession, so say you are a pistoleer fencer (you have +200 dodge, 100 from each) you only will have the +100 at ne time active fromeither pistoleer OR fencer, so hold a rifle will not activate your mods from fencer.

Man that appears to suck, there will be a lot of people dropping fencer as I know a lot of folks who only go down that route to get the defence mods stacked, and that will be such a a shame.

It does appear to suck, but that means only the true devotees to their profession will stick around. Now, if they introduce new moves, skills, and weapons, then I feel this will make up for the loss of mod stacking.

I think it'd be wise to worry about it after the Combat Revamp hits closed Beta, and the details become widely known. Going off of half of a TH quote here and there really cannot begin to give us an idea of what the Revamp will be like.
Just keep your fingers crossed

If that's the case then I'll be one of those people dropping Fencer (no offense).

Ok, it's official.....I'm throwing the BS flag up on this one. Defense stacking is the only real good thing this game has going for it. The devs are even nerfing solo groups. For any of the devs or csr's reading this post: How ignorant ARE you people exactly?
1. You put a bugged game out in stores, take over a year to fix it, 'cause it's STILL bugged.
2. You remove the ONLY reasons players want to actually play this game.
3. You added jedi and the game went RIGHT out the window.
4. Everything good in the game players figure out, like solo groups and defense stackin, ect. you remove from the game in the interest of 'making the game
better'.
I have an idea for you, and I really suggest you take the advice before the entire gaming community boycotts your products. STOP KILLING THE GAME!!! If you want to 'improve' this game, take a game wide and/or server wide polls and find out what the actual PLAYERS think needs to be improved or changed.
PS Also to all the devs and CSRs, if you even try to ban me for this post, I can promise you'll loose several HUNDRED players, who are currently of the same feeling as me, and we're getting dozons more every day. This isn't a threat, merely a statement of fact. You guys need to either fix this game, and I do mean FIX it, or this game is gonna die a LOT faster than you can imagine.
This game concept is great, if you people would stop making it hard to have a good time. We're not playing this game as a JOB, we play it to have FUN, no other reason. So why not let us have fun, and stop trying to kill the game. If anyone besides me agrees, by all means post or contact me in-game.

1.) Welcome to MMOs
2.) They can never take the Star Wars out of this game, which despite what you as an individual feel, is the reason the majority of the people play this game
3.) Sorry you don't like Jedaai, mate, but they are NOT game breaking. As a declared DStacker, Jedaai should be lunch for you.
4.) Solo groups are not being Taken out, just modified...They will still suit your purpose. As for defense stacking, having 200 Melee Def, Ranged Def, and Dodge is relative invulnerability. This game is better off without a God mode.
Extras: The game is on an almostexponential course of improvement. There are issues across the board, that is just what happens in MMOs, its impossible to have an organic game that is bug free. Fixes and tweaks come in at least Bi-weekly so you cannot argue that the developers aren't working for the betterment of the community. Just because your issue, whatever it is, isn't on the top of the list doesn't prove anything. If you articulated your issue, I'm sure it might be seriously looked at, but as for now your post sounds like "They took away my uber, give it back!"
Adapt, its half the fun, and take it easy man. You'll pull through.

If stacking is nerfed it could potentially give players with templates that aren't pure combat a chance to have some fun in PvP.

from reading above this may not be such a bad thing ... I love fencer for CoB and the stun dmg with an uber baton, If the defence stack thing is right then I will free loads of Skill Points by giving up the xx4x tree of pistoleer and going for a more offensive master brawler template .... but hey ... lets stop guesssing and just wait till the revamp hits beta 
.... and hope we get to test it .
.... and hope we get to test it .Have u registered ? .... hope so cause everyone else has ...lol .

Well, the way I read it,he's sayingthere will be benefits to havingmore than onecombat profession, just not in the form of "stacking" that we see now.
I would hope that profession combinations become more logical, and that we won't have fencer builds with a line from pikeman, a line from pistoleer, a line from tka. I'd rather see a system in which players choose professions based on character design as opposed to theseincoherent templates with nothing more than high defensive values.

Actually I forsee far more variety in builds as well as the logical ones. But with a more specialized set up for professions everyone will have their tactical strengths and weaknesses no matter what the template.
