i was master powers and with all these changes i think im gonna go back to master powers and go with this template.
i am MP/ls 0404/enh 3402/heal 4000 and i have to agree with the poster a couple posts above. The saber throw really helps out for added dps. Honestly i find myself using that more than lightning. It's great to alternate between lightning and throw for a ranged only. However, powers does suck up the action. I haven't used it since the new patch so i don't know about that. Before the patch, I never lost a fight against a normal except for doc/tk/swords, unless I was fully buffed with spice and food. Otherwise i would run out of action, before their mind ran out. If i'm fully buffed my regen can usually compensate for the action loss. However, with buffs the way they are its not as easy to get one unless you have a friend who is a doc. For group fighting its outstanding. Area kd and intimidate is awesome as well area lightning does pretty good damage. Plus usually in a big fight i have time to let my action recharge if im not buffed. As well, and this is coming from a former mls/m defender.
You will have a very tough time going toe to toe with mls jedi especially if they have aura. Breach helps a little for that, but as always it doesn't always work and uses a lot of force. My biggest complaint with powers now is that innate armor is resists powers attacks. I know what you will all say, but let me explain. Right now innate armor, force armor, feedback, absorb, shield, as well as aura all defend against powers. While saber attacks are only resisted by innate armor, force armor, and aura. That is way too much defense against powers attacks. If someone has 0404 enhancer they can defend against powers more than a master defender can because shield stacks with FA. Ever since FA added to innate its been that way. I say either make it so powers does not resist against armor, at least the jedi version cause we already own regulars. Either that or remove feedback, absorb, and shield because it is to be truly honest unfair. Our attacks to less damage anyway(if they have a decent saber), so why the extra defense. I'm sure its just cause they really didn't think about it, but I mean come on. Just make it so jedi innate armor does not defend against powers attacks, imo it leaves the "fun" of remembering to keep all your specials up as an enhancer, and defenders have force defense, as well as giving us the chance to get rid of it with breach. Makes sense right? And it would be far more (gasp) balanced.
