Well guess i have to come here and defend my templates.

First off: This Jedi/CM template works. Im not planning on being the uber killer of all. I know very well my template weaknesses and my strengths.
The good:
Excellent damage. I bypass anyone's armor. With enchancers my fire dot (cm) can tick for 300'ish, poison for 300'ish, disease will slowly tick out 200 life (though for all useful purposes only 50 to 100 will really apply to target by the time the fight is over) and choke does 500 on first tick and 400 on every other tick. Lightning does anaverage of 700 damage in pvp and improved saber throw can do 500 damage (once i get good crystals/pearls). Force hit/Mind Blast/Force Throw each does around 200 damage. I can KD from melee range (saber kd) or from 35m range (force powers kd).
Add it all up.
DOTS: 300+300+400 = 1100 damage on first tick alone. Time elapsed= about 8 seconds.
KD the BH and lighting does 800 damage.
BH now has 1900 less life.
DOTS tick again . 1100 life down (about a second or two after the lighting hit)
If BH is too shocked by this and didnt heal he is either incapped or if he has +health items or foods is barely 200 life from death. I use forcehit/mindblast/force throw (any of em) which have no timers and thats the end of the BH.
Total time to incap BH-about 22 seconds.
If the BH heals up then he's in for a fight against my dots and lightning for which all I need is to land a KD on him when he is below half life (which is most of the time) and zap him.
My healing ability with this template is good. I can heal 900 damage with bacta shot. I have healing BE clothes and healing eff CA's on my gear.
My defense is 100% saber block. Force Valor= 25% block saber tech tree = 20% block block food=25% block. Add em up and its 75% block rate. Thats pre-cu block for you.
Add pikata pie... that little 15% block rate im missing is made up for it this way.
If target is kiting me and tried to go outside my dot/powers range then I have the option of either waiting him out or fleeing... or simply CLOAKING and getting the F out of there or counterstriking at will.
My biggest weakness is that im vulnerable to the alpha strike of the BH. If my foods/aura is not up im simply DEAD in 5 seconds.
My force bar is 4250. Since im using little to no force (powers is very force effective at master) and my template does not force me to constantly dish out damage (just wait for dots to lower then hit with force powers at the right time) im extremely force efficient.
I tested myself against 2 friendly BH's, both bloody damn good and with adk'd full gear and stuff and i was able to take them both down in less than 5 mins. Further duels had them taking me down after a good while 'cause they learned to work around my template and adapt...a luxury that I plan on giving no BH's in the near future.
Soulcaster here and I dueled just for the heck of it on rori after a grind. I was at 50% force from choking/zapping/intimidating lairs for group.
For the first 15 minutes of several mini-duels (he lost all of them and some were interrupted by aggro and him not having his toolbar 'ready')in which Iused NO buffs. No block food no pikkata.. no spiced tea. only valor and my dots/powers.
While he was nowhere close to a finished template he did have cm healing/dots/jedi healing and nice defenses as well as a trando rifle. In all duels he kept changing strategy..from debuffing the smuck out of me (didnt affect me at all) to kiting me (didnt affect me at all..blockmonkey!) to dotting me back and trying to stay out of range from me (worked best vs me but still my healing more than outpaced his dots and he had to return to range to dot me again at which time i incapped him with powers)... all in all he did fight good and tried lots of things but to no avail.
Regardless of templates or our respective CL's I know for a fact that if he had come against me as a full mbh/mcm i wouldve still sent him to the cloner rather quickly.
This is my for fun anti-bh template. I love it to death.Its hisopinion that i take up doc...for what?to heal myself for a few hundred or 200 pnts better and get bacta infuse?id be an idiot to sacrifice 1100 damageper tick unresistable by armor to heal myself when I already am efficient atmyown healing.
If soe puts the added action costs to healing it still does not affect me. I can use action buff food just like a BH can. But unlike a BH i do not spend action attacking or defending. If SOE nerfs hybrids sothat they can only use powers when wielding a saber...well... DUH im using a saber (block remember?), I dont need aweapon tothrow cm dots or heal myself with medic.
im 800k to getting my last saber tech tree box4 to get that last 5% block and improved saber throw..after that, BH'S WELCOME!

'Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.'
'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'
