I personally have both aura and force arrmor. just my play style at the moment.
Actually, ranged defense is much more important than melee imo. Since 90+% of the players is ranged, not mentioning the BHs, it's more handy than melee def.
My two cents.

but atm its broken... its a defence whilst holding a.... weapon mod not a def vs a .... weeapon mod - so 4xxx def is more important than x4xx def

I was thinking about getting Force Armor a few days ago making my temp MLS 4040 DEF 4402 ENH 3000 HEAL
but without it i would get MLS 4440 DEF 4002 ENHANCER 3000 HEAL
Is force armor really worth it?
With 4440 Defender the Force Armor is not worth it. You have enough defence with the innate armor and aura to survive.
It's worth remember that eventully the FRS will comback and most the combat will be JvJ.
I have it. Have had it most since they fixed the Force costs on it. Think it's one of those, you either hate it or you love it.
The Force cost isa strainin a heavy, drawn out fight, even using the Improved version. It makes your Force bar drain rapidly if you get shoved into a tanking position (which I can't really recommend). But it can get you out of a bad situation at times. I very strongly recommend it being stacked with Defender's Force Aura xx4x line to help alleviatesomewhat the impact on your Force barfrom incoming damage.
I've enjoyed having it, but I'm pondering moving on as I find it more and more hampering tomy constanly evolving play style. Will prolly hang onto it though till after the Expansion hits Live. Love the rippling Force animation though when yah get hit. ![]()

I had both and when their both running at the same time you will lost alot faster then if you just used Force Armor by itself.
It's very easy now with food, drinks and tapes to get over 500 accuracy. Aura with the melee and ranged def to back it up is only good for PvE.
The way the system works right now, the only defense that applies is that of the type of weapon you are holding. Since we are melee, we use melee defense. It adds def to both ranged and melee. (yes I know, twisted logic, but read the stickies)

I was thinking which temp would be the best
1)MLS 4040 DEF 4402 ENH 3000 HEAL
2) MLS 4440 DEF 4002 ENHANCER 3000 HEAL
please pick between 1 and 2
