Thread: MLS or MDEF
Message Edited by shadowdragon2k on 10-08-2005 04:54 PM
Depends. MLS has a 200 to 300 tick bleed, power attack, head/body/leg hits, dirvish, spin attack, two KDs, saber throw, and all the state effects. That variaty of specials in MLS'es power. just make sure to use it all for maximum effect.
Defender just soaks up the damage. My Bro is MLS while I am Mdef and we match up against each other blow for blow and one damage point difference between our base attack. You can go both routes MLS or Mdef as long as you have the essential skills to survive with that template.

mdef, ls -444
mls, def 444-
I just don't understand., I only hit slightly faster, but i take alot more damage. I did a test with a buddy and we have very comparable sabers,
AS a Mdef I would have 627 dmage for a power hit, no aura or foods
As a MLS and DEF 4440 he would get 750points of damage.
I am not sure if my testing is vailid but it seems MLS is still not good
2nd one..

no one ever killed a BH with MDef.
want my very simplistic approach?
PvP=MLS, PvE=MDef
Most people still don't understand that MLS is a waste of skillpoints given their saber and the SEAs they have..the only useful thing you miss at MLS is Saberthrow 3 that does great damage and KDs your opponenet giving you a very nice combo. Other than that, you're missing out on some Speed/Accuracy (DPS means nothing) but can easily be reproduced through SEAs.
Also, if you dablle in Enhancer at all, picking up forcepseed 2 would greatly lower the speed. Its all in the diminishing returns formula, you can also reproduce some of Defender w/ Force Armor dabbling but you'll have your force consumed and most of it negated after Armor Break.
