I refer to it as lacking an escape method because you can easily counter what you stated with a root from the bh. MCM MBH pistols xxx4 is pretty common on my server you see.
Ahh yes its counterable but I find 90% of the time when im on the run and using my block-vaerbok-ranged defense and elshandru pica thundercloud.... 90% of the time they miss the root. But your point is validThat template is common on all servers heh
620 max damage 33fc... and slowly getting better :S
But I usually use the root.... run... KD at 20m tactic... you can normally get that far before they get a chance to fire root.... then by the time they get up you can be well out of rangeQuick thinkers will be able to fire quicker but then its a matter of landing the attack...

I'm going for this template or one very close to it. I recently reached Def. 4-4-2-0, and my guy became noticeably tougher once he got that last Melee Defense box. I rolled him out against Necrosis last week and was able to go toe-to-toe with him and take hits pretty well. Not as well as a Master Defender, but enough to make a good fight of it. Aura also definitely makes a big difference on top of that when I activate it, even at x-x-2-x.
But my big reason for going for this as opposed to Master Defender is that I like having at least some variety in my abilities. The Enhancer lines give us some nice little curveballs to throw, like Force Drain. And you gotta love being able to channel and transfer force while grinding! Master Enhancer does carry significant appeal, though. I may yet go for M.E. one of these days.
So I've played both a lot and if you're looking for survivability in PvP I really like the 4440 template. I think it really depends on your play style.
I've also played a MLS MDEF and hated it.
My temp goes like this: MLS, 3002 enh, 4000 heal, 4440def
I have 6100 force and a ton of damage mitigation, especially with foods. I either pwn or die really fast becasue of the odds.
I would love to play with cloak but i dont really want to give anything up.
my $.02
Also been wondering if i should go 3402 enhancer to get the armor but i asked the community and i was advised not to get armor cause of the drainage on your forcebar....
Yeah, there is no way I wanna worry about force managemant all the time.
