what about 4440 defender instead of 4040 def and with FA2, is that a big diffrence??
That will give you a 5400 innate armour rating, against the 8200 that Def 4x4x with FA2 would give or the 7000 from MDef. Have to say that difference is noticable whent tanking - the 444x variety (my mate has this temp whos account i play on) can tank up to 81 pretty comfortably, 82s can hit quite hard in spin groups, but has nice defenses for low force use, with still enough sp for things like supressions, FR, channel etc. My own personal toon is the 4x4x + FA2 variety, i love it, can tank an 82 lair no problems, hold my own against any high end pve in the game, and it owns for duels/head to head fight. Only time you'll really hate the force drain is if you get ganked in pvp- but by then you'll probably be dead with any template. Provided you channel when approproate and manage your force properly, i personally prefer the 4x4x + FA2 template.
yeah but in pvp i dont think the diffrence is that muc, what i remember from the other day when me and a friend did some testing, with only 4040 and aura he hit me for like 876 with AB, and when i put on FA2 it was like 800m so only a diffrence for 10% in dmg, im not sure if the attach was 876 or 911, but that was only wth 4040 and with the extra 12innate i think i can go down a little more
either FA is bugged in some way and AB reduce almost all of it, or it dosent make that much diffrent when stacking it

Well armour break kills 75% of your armour rating, which makes those figures look about right to me. Armour break will nullify any armour combos you have at the moment, you're going to be hurting any way you look at it.
yeah true, im gonna stay with the 4040 FA combo for a while, and if i dont like it im gonna try out 4440defender instead and see how that works
Thats obviously even better than Def 0040 / Enh x4x2, but I dont have enough skill points for it. There is a reason the current FOTM is MLS / Enh 3402 / Def 4040 / Heal 4000
I'm doing the same thing with MPowers in place of MLS but I'm a glutton for punishment. Powers sucks. An thats describing the good parts.
Good Luck
here is the armor chart
read it and learn
rofl Knowledge is power! rofl..
armor value / actual percent damage reduction
1000 = 10.5%
2000 = 20.0%
3000 = 28.5%
4000 = 36.0%
5000 = 42.5%
6000 = 48.0%
7000 = 52.5%
8000 = 56.0%
9000 = 58.5%
10000 = 60%
here is the armor chart
no armor % doesnt cap at 7k whoever thinks that is a dumba$$ but dang 52.5 at 7k compared to 60% at 10k
diminishing returns makes force armor 2 a waste with mdef
however i have heard from mdefs the complain thatarmor break rbings your 7k down to a very lame like 2.8k
now 2.8k is crap now u see as a person without defender u would like 0 like only 5% after ar break so
iduno you figure out howmuch armor you want
4040 defender ( 4200 ) 3402 enhancer ( 4000 from FA 2 ) mls 4000 healer i do alright...
