downside to mpowers is no defense and without a sabre to help you aren't ever going to be able to take a mls template.
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 thoughso 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.
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.

I'm working on 1 of 2 templates and its time to make a decision. I'd like some input from those of you with experience, please. The 2 templates are:
Master powers
Master enhancer
Healer 4000
LS 0100
OR
Master powers
Enhancer 3402
Healer 4000
LS 0404
Thanks in advance.

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

My Current template is

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.
