Saber defence stacked with Master Defender ? - Overpowered.
stick this skill in powers instead of making it a saber return attack make it a force reflect attack

While i think sabers should block ranged attacks, like the movies etc. I do like the idea of makeing the 55% chance to block ranged attack a POWERS ability. That would be much better. Get rid of that "55% chance to block melee attacks" though.

we had saber defence, but some genius decided to take it away from us. also master sabers used to be more powerful at blocking but they took that as well. I doubt theyll give it back to us.
also it would be nice to have some melee defence given to us with sabers. lol
but this is old news, we have asked for this many many times. no response except more nerf's. lol

They should just put in different saber forms with +'s and -'s to ranged/melee block so you'd always be vulnerable to something.

Yes !!! But they will never do it, because that would be cool.

I agree as long as Power users get the same. I will not have any powers in my template very shortly but this would greatly benefit them as well.

ok i think every jedi in the game should be able to pick 1 of the 7 forms of lightsaber combat and make it so at paddy u get to pick from 1 of the 7 forms that will always be on and u can change it when ever even in combat depending on how many people u are fighting or what kind of player melee ranged they should give + to say saber block so if u are fighting a bh. i will make a post more detailed later when im not at work but i would love to see something like this in the game it would make jedi have a little something extra that adds to content kind of but i dont think it shouldnt give any - skills because when i was reading them it said they werent as focused to say attack as to say defense so they still would have the same or maybe a little attack bonus but not nearly the same as defense i will do a better post later maybe lol working and doing this sucks lol sorry for spelling and grammer dont have the time to look it over hope u can get some what of an idea as to what im saying

perhaps powers should get some sort of blaster absorb ability like vader displays in esb, just put there hand out and abosrb the blast
i just hope that ranged saber block get upped alittle, melee block would be a bad idea as it would make pve much easier as well, i do think that there should be a saber defense that pretty much every other combat profession gets when they have there weapons equipt (ie. pistol defense, rifle defense, unarmed defense)
i know that people will say that a master ls and master defender would be to good with master defenders melee and ranged defense and then add on the saber defense, but i thought diminishing returns on the defenses meant that the higher number wouldnt nesicarily be alot better

Make a simple thing that in both mpowers and mls have their own defense for ranged that way the powers guys can get somelove too...look at the movie darth blocked hans blaster fire with his hand so why cant they make powers which is suppose to be a kinda alt of damage dealing to those that dont want to wave their sabers. What ever they do to sabers they need to add some to powers to give them some added bonuses to their prof too

Either give MLS and MPowers similar defenses or neither should get any at all.
I'm personally REALLY sick of Force Feedback, Absorb, and Shield. Gawd, I think we'd have to bring in the worlds biggest box of Kleenex for MLS users if they had to put up w/ the same BS.
Powers needs a MAJOR overhaul before any of you MLS guys ask for improvements.
