heres a little secret for ya, 0400 enhancer and novice defender is the same initiate armor as defender, get aura and thats all the melee defence you can could need or get aura and the melee defence line and your better than a master defenders defence.


with the new nerf master defender is pretty usless and pointless.








Have you tried high-end PvE or PvP with FA2 ass your main mitigator (as you suggest with FA2 + Novice Defender)...? You'll be out of Force very quickly while a Master Defender will still be plugging away with 75% Force left.


FA2 is great for emergencies, but I'd rather not depend on it for protracted bouts of PvP or PvE.










I use fa2 all the time for krayting and other high end PVE.

Works fine.




Interesting. Perhaps I should have been more specific - I find that with the template MLS/Def4040/Eh3402/Heal4000 when in a high level bunker, I find that I have more Force problems than with a MDef variant.

Here's a little tip to anyone. If you like winning in PvE combat or PvP combat then do not pick up Master Powers, Master Enhancer, Healer 4040. Worst template ever for high end mobs like Krayt Dragons, and PvP'ing. Although.. If you like griefing in PvP, this is your template. Stasis, root and cloak are great griefing tools as tested on a friend.

Fuuny..this is exactly the same templatte peopek told me TO get! ..lol..

For those same reasons, ...stasis will let me set the pace of the fight, if i choose to fight

And if things get ugly, i can turn and burn with stasis,
FA3, and cloak..

Damage was moderate..

I tried this template:


Master Powers/ LS x4xx / Enhancer 34x3 / Healer 4xxx / Novice Defender


OMG it sucked bad. PvE was horrid, my action burned so fast it wasn't funny. I seriously have respect for any Master Powers template that can survive on their own without saber skills......my action went to zero within 10 seconds (102 AC saber)and the level 67 mob was even at half damage.Maybe I should have used choke instead of the gimped lightning attacks rofl.



IMO nothing compares to a Master Defender template in PvE. Now PvP that is debatable and all depends on your saber. You can dabble in Defender if you have a great saber or even just use FA+Aura....but in PvE after the changes I've seen to A.I., sorry you won't last.

templates I tried in Beta:


Def 4440 / MLS/Heal 3000/Enh 2004 ( I think may have only been Heal 2000)


could handle my own solo on almost everything in the beta. There are a few things that require groups regardless of your profession or template


MDef / LS 0444 / Heal 4000/ Enh 2002


Could handle my own solo on almost everything in the beta. There area few thing that require groups regardless of your profession or template


Def 4440 / MLS/Heal 4000/Enh 2002


Could handle my own solo on almost everything in the beta. There area few thing that require groups regardless of your profession or template


Each build has things you miss. I missed the bleed and advanced saber throw when I dropped MLS, missed valor when I dropped MDef.


But any of those builds worked very well for me in the beta.

I have a close clone on BETA compared to what I use in Live:


Female Rodian


Jedi


Template: Lightsaber Master, Defender 0044, Enhancer 3402, Healer 4000


Lightsaber: 2.5 (base) max 700ish (my live saber is 660) fc 12 (live 27!) sac 99 (mine in live is 100)


The main issue I had is I would run out of force in 5 mintes agasint one Elitetarget (and almost everything is lvl 75 elite or better) then have to wait 10 minutes before fighting anything else. I do not feel like this area is truely playable based on many factors in how Jedi are governed via force consumption.


See character in sig...




Pick me !!

I have the same temp. and I can solo high level mobs. Yes, the force drain is higher, but you can still get by. + you get the other skills like... 1500 heals with advance healing, fr1, speed... Much better in my option than the typical MLS, MD setup. Who else agrees?
