Thread: The Nerfing of Saber Block

Another one has just 'disappeared'. I would have thought this was a viable subject for discussion by subscribers paying to play this game.
They keep deleting them because they serve no purpose other than to get people worked up over nothing.
Quit feeding the fire. The next month is going to be crazy enough with wild speculation, rumors and leaks drifting out of Beta.
a fully templated jedi is going to be roughly equivilent to 1.5 fully combat templated normal characters. That's pretty much all that's been said about jedi specifically. If, and I mean *If*, saber block is reduced it's going to be in the context of the CURB. Taking it out of context and getting worked up about it (and trying to get everyone else worked up) is pure asshattery. Everything is changing. There isn't going to be anymore near invulnerable armor or templates.

Bear in mind that those two profession can also wear 90% armour too.The only solid rumour - if a rumour can ever said to be solid - is that post CU Jedi Saber Block will be reduced to 35/45%. No such talk is emerging about Fencers or TKM defence reducation. While this doesn't mean there will be no such reduction, it is odd that while plenty of others news about the CU is leaking out, none touches on the defences of other professions,
You really are completely out of your mind. Blair SPECIFICALLY talks about 90% armor in his blog. There will not be armor nor defenses that are the way they are now.

I really fail to see the logic in posting something and speculating on something like Saber block. People need to be patient and exhibit some resemblance of self control and not start threads like this.
The whole system of combat is being revamped. All professions are being changed, everything from dmg and defense modifiers to weapons and armor are being changed. Remember, specials will require warm-up/cool down times as well. Its pointless to speculate what the impact of a reduction in saber block is without know how the rest of the combat system planned out. If they were to reduce saber block to 35% in the current combat system, then there is definitely just cause to be upset, but since everything is changing.. relax and lets see what happens.

Anyone that picks one tiny bit of the CU out and starts to analyze it without seeing the rest is out of their mind.
It reminds me of some folks on the car forums I frequent. They'll see one spy shot that reveals one tiny bit of a new car (the fixed headlights in the new Corvette are a perfect example), and they'll spend hours complaining about that one tiny aspect without realizing how it goes with the whole package.
