In my opinion, I don't subscribe to the Force Armor idea...yeah, it's nice, but each hit takes a hit to your force. 0 Force = Dead Jedi. I like to live. haha






Ahh, that is my question.



I know how Force Aura works.. I have it.



Im curious how FA works. I understand now about the absorb. I also understand they "Stack". By stack I was asking if you could have Aura and FA up at the same time. I guess the answer is yes.



Does FA stay on your forever? Does it have a timer? Does it only absord a certain amount of damage and then need to be reapplied? How much force is taken from your pool every hit?



Thanks

Scroll up a bit, I believe this was answered. Armor lasts for 30 minutes, has a small cost to activate, and from then on only costs force for any damage your armor absorbs. The rate is 8%, meaning if you get hit, and your force armor absorbs 100points of damage, 8 force is taken from you.

FA plus Aura seems like a pretty nice combo to reduce alot of damage.






Its the poor man's tank, yes.

I think you will find most good templates have D4440 or D0040+E0400


essentially, innate armor is given under D4400 (and more in Master) or by getting E0400

I put together a bit of a post concerning these issues. It's got real numbers as well as what stacks and what applies first. Check it out.
