Thread: Is Ranged Defense Worth It Now???

I ask this, because my next and last unlock will be the Phase III Ranged Defense Quest.
However, with the recent Defense revelations floating round (for all those unfamiliar, Ranged Defense is your Defense when equiped with a Ranged Weapon, not against them, and the same goes for Melee), will Ranged Defense be of any use to a Jedi??? (Master Powers aside)
I am, instead, tempted to drop some of my CM skills (which I would have had to have done anyway to free up 24 SP) and get Novice Artisan, and do the Luck quest, as I see that as more useful to Jedi, as it stands now.
Am I jumping the gun here??? Is it better to wait for the Dev's word on the Defense issue???
Tempted, I must say...

If that was my last unlock, Id take it and grind it and get it done.

If that is the case concerning defense I am so not putting my stockpiled Reflexes XP that. Melee I will if it will work with my lightsaber, but I'll just grind out some Senses XP and take up something in that branch if that is the case. If anyone knows a sure answer on this it'd be great to let us know.

Hmmm...
Can we get some word from our Corro with regards to this???

Two things to concider here.
First. I think the way the defenses are working now is not the way the devs intend it to. So eventually they will fix it and you will wish you had that extra +20 ranged defense.
Second. I have Luck and I personally have not been impressed. I feel like I should have done the CP quest last phase 3 now.

this comes from a jedi... i have melee defense and ranged defense and other branches, the FS skills add so little bonus, it don't really matter. A master defender has ~270 melee/ranged defense, if i remember right from my master defender days. Now, i'm at 0042 defender and have 90, but with improved force armor, i mitigate about the same as a Master Defender. so +12 melee/ranged defense isn't going to help too much, so it woulnd't hurt taking it incase the devs fix it.

I am just going to expect that one day the devs will fix it, I have not heard any word that it is intended to be that way. Unfortunately I'm stuck either way as rdef was the first branch I filled. /shrug
