Rofl. My browser decided I was finished with my post and posted it for me. Its now edited and updated.






AHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111oneoneeleventy!



Never take a MLS template? u make me laugh, a skilled MPowers user can take a MLS, it just takes more thought and skill, as we have less DPS, higher costs and zip bars (theres the downsides OP, but i still love MP)



Now i am MP/TKM/Healer 4xxx and MLS r beatable, just with MDef they r one tough ccookie, i wont lie they r tough and u cant beat em all, but u CAN beat em. Im thinkin of goin to MLS/MP cuz its so unFOTM (as is my current) and seems interesting

well probably the second template... it's good to have a saber to back up powers. the thing about powers is that its unbalanced pretty bad.. im not complaining or anything.. im just saying.. its unbalanced in that it does tons of damage... but eats up force and your stats faster than it should.. its insanely fun though so if you wanna listen to me.. go for it.. its just a suggestion

I would respectfully diagree. It does not do a lot of damage at all. Almost any basic LS template does more. What it does offer are more ranged and area attack options; however, these are very limited in their damage output. Almost every Master Powers - and I tried a number of variations on the Powers template myself - will tell you that the template is for support and cannot really be used to solo, especially in PVE. My current template - the very boring MLS/MDEF configuration - provides a much higher damage output, the defences to keep you alive and, in my opinion, a broader game experience.


Perhaps in the future, SOE will properly fix the damage output of Master Powers to be the equivalent of MLS. As it is now. it is very disappointing.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I think I'm gonna go for the second template. Master powers, healer 4000, LS 0404 and enh 3402... which was the way I was leaning anyway. I can always regrind in the future.

I dunno man, i would not go that way unless you have a really good saber. Besides the force armor eats up your force bar. Thast why i hated it so much. get aura instead.

i have the second template and i think you will love it. its a thinking players template, but if you can work it, then you will be very effective in pvp and pve. know your foods and with stim d's and some bliel you will be fine defensively. if theres a downside its the amount of force required. in the end you will have 6150 in force, which isnt bad, but isnt as good as a double mastery. overall,a ton of fun, a lot of variety, and its a ton of fun.

I'd sacrifice some enhancer stuff.... like everyone except 4000 or 3000, and squeeze in 0404 saber instead.


If you go only power / enhancer, you'll have a good crowd control / group PvP template.

the true downside to master powers is the fact it takes skill points to learn

My Current template is


Master Powers


Enhancer 2xx4


Defender xx4x


Healer 41xx (likely to trade wound heal to make enhancer 4xx4)


Lightsaber x4xx



Works Well For alot of things... Best in PVP Group fights, but does quite well solo PVE.



NOT a template for someone looking to tank, but is an overall very fun template to play.

I started out wanting to tank. But I've realized the friends I group with most are tanks and I can do more in a support role. And I just like the idea of powers/enhancer more than ls/defender. So now I'm in the middle of regrinding.







if you wanan do a support template do mpower/enhacer 4040 healing

I have the 2nd one. I can hold my own jedi vs jedi - although Mdef jedi are very hard to beat sometimes.


I can hold my own vs. BH's mostly because of Master powers + AB.


I am enjoying my templete very much - and if you like to be a little strategic while fighting then that is a very good choice to make for a templete.


Just remember Force Breach is your friend

The down side to powers:


-Most of your moves are area attacks and will aggro that which you don't want.

-It sucks up force fast and with your enhancer armor doing the same you'll need to regen more often than your buddies.

-most of the better moves have warmups so you can't use them while moving.


All these are nothing so long as you can choke; the sound effect is so cool thatit makes me/grin everytime


I thought about your template but went Mpowers; 0 4 0 3 Saber (thinking about 0 4 3 0); 4 4 0 2 Enhancer; and 4 0 0 0 healer. With the 0 4 3 0 LS i'll be able to spin which helps with a lot of RoTW and ToOW quests.
