what's the nerf? have the timer so it's not stackable anymore? if so then they should remove the snare you get with AI and have it as a "get away tool". But if it's a different nerf then /shrug i'm just really bored right now with nothing to do in game
the nerf is you lose all aggro when you hit AI and can not regain it. it's the only master level special for the only profession in the game dedicated to purely tanking and you lose all ability to tank when you use it. the change is just plain dumb.
oooooooooh ok. well, could've been worse.you should've seen master defender before the CU. It was pretty much a worthless profession.

Why not?
The intention was to prevent people from soloing things that should be impossible to solo (activating AI and keeping it on once you got low in health through the entire duration of the fight through a holocron to heal your force bar to be able to remain conscious for a lengthy amount of time).
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I was fighting a boss with a friend (named gold << >> for the Sith Sword on Kashyyyk) and he had to use AI, I never got hit a single time, he kept the aggro and we were able to successfully take down a level 85 boss with just two people.
They're not trying to remove a Defenders ability to remain conscious, thus protecting their GROUP, they're trying to prevent people from SOLOING things that should be impossible.
Being upset about a certain change is one thing, but jumping to absurd conclusions is another...
That's bull, AI is complelty worthless. You activate it in group it shifts to any other person except for the tank regardless of DPS, solo is even worse it goes into retreat and goes into mad regen.
You want a tanker for a group? Go 4440 Defender 0400 Enhancer and you'll be a much better tank than a stupid Defender w/ AI. AI isa worthless skill now, there could've been a million things done to it rather than the proposed fix they have.
ROFL, have you seen the videos on Pikeman Tanking 3-4 jedi? A defender could only do that during AI but obviously he has to use 1k force per heal, here you have non-jedi w/ uber armor, 75% AB slice and super heals and are tanking better than Defender. B-F-ing-S.
....
"Hey Master Defenders are soloing DJMs, NERF THEM DEVS." Ok, "AI will now have a snare, a higher force cost activation and we will also nerf the loot of DJMs so no one can loot anything off of them either, good day....."
With MOB AI changing, force users using the force, etc. I think that line of Enhancer is going to be the new FOTM. You also get force feedback with Force Armor, that means, to me anyway, that it might be an all around better choice for PVE AND PVP.
