here is it:
i believe its for all the dmg u take, u times it by 0.5 and thats the force cost for force armour 1. for FA2, its dmg absorbed x 0.3.
so we see that force armour is literally what it soubnds like, u r using the force as a sheild. for every point of dmg it takes, it will deduct 0.5 of that dmg in force (for FA1) or 0.3 of that dmg (for FA2)
so really, think about it. someone hits u for 500 dmg when u have force armour 1 on. 500x0.5=250 FC (force cost) no if u r bufffed, and can take about 3k dmg, then
3000x0.5=1500 FC. Now if u heal, then they geet to hit u all over again, and more force loss occurs. and this is on top of the healing and lightsaber fc remember. so most ppl think its sstupid to get FA, they say its not worth it when u can just heal uirself and then boom ur fine, and for less force. i thought this once, but now thats im going into FRS, the light side mods make it worth while.
in fact i belieev at rank 10, force armour 2only cost like 0.004 force for every damag and reduces something insane like 80% of dmg done to you. that mixed with tseak and jedi toughtness makes u a gorax with a glowstick,
hope this helps!!!

FA drains your force really fast as a low level paddy and even as a low rank knight. FA2 blocks 45% of ALL damage, however the damage it blocks it takes off your force. For a high ranked knight, it blocks even more damage and takes away very little force, hence for a ranked knight it can be quite usefull.

very worth while if you think you can rank, or perhaps pick it up once ranked.

Ok, well, two actually, one how much to innate armor does force armor, and improved force armor add? And how much force does it actually use when you get hit?

Well, i think its about a 40% drop in damage, and in my experience it uses hardly any force at all

FA1= +20 to your innate armor for 15 minutes
FA2= +40 to your innate armor for 30 minutes
I lose about 5-10 force per hit (never checked because it's so low). The only time you see your force go down is when you're trying to tank 10 mobs (let the defenders do that.....lol).
I see about a 45% damage reduction from FA2. I have +10 innate from paddy, +10 from novice Defender, and +40 from FA2. That's just like wearing armor with stats of 6000, so it's not too bad

I was just wondering what was so big about force armor and why i see alot of jedi useing it i have force aura and was thinking about droping the ranged mods for valor, or for force armor but since force armor can be AB'ed and costs force , i can see force armor only killing you vs bh in long a long fight
