Thread: Jedi must be able to wear armor now,the reason is simple
eg if you have mdoc in your template you can still use your light sabre while wearing battle armor.
Jedi wearing armor is a two edge sword. There are plenty of examples in the RPGs and books(I jedi, the sith style warriors Corran fought wore armor weaved with cortios ore), in the New Jedi order series the Jedi wore a style of padded armor to fight against the Vong, ummmm Vaders suit was armor, plenty of other examples. If a jedi wants to wear armor then by all means they should be able to, but their needs to be encumbrance and their innate armor needs to be cut back while they are wearing the armor.
When jedi first came out they could wear armor and you had jedi wearing armor plus all their abilities and you had 1 jedi taking out 20 peeps with no prob.

letting jedi wearing armor with respect to losing all other natural and force armors wont inbalance game,the developers at least try it at test centers.

when we have defender as a skill wich mean you pretty much will destroy that diciplin if jedi are able to wear armor
Defender where never designed to be more than slightly more defensive warriors in the FRS. Non-Defenders where not designed to be1-shot killed.
The situation we have today is simplybecouse toughness was removed and replaced with Armor Mitigation (while Jedi where "out of scope").
A Designed "Jedi Tank" according to the "x1.5" idea would be alot more powerful than they are today.

I agree that Jedi have lost their power, but I don't want armor to be the compensation. As a Jedi I don't want to wear armor, to me it has nothing to do with Jedi. There is a long list of bugs and issues that might give uspower (and more fun) if solved, I support the fix of these bugs and issues instead of giving armor to Jedi.

After cu all professions are near same powerand game is balanced. Jedi lost all their glorious power after pub9 and with cu theybecome like a regular profession. Grinding becomes easier with groups. A tkm doctor with some other melee skills, is just like a defender jedi. I kill 3jedi from every 4 jedi with my bounty hunter which pays 223-225k per jedi head. Sometimes i think my master cm/bounty hunter is powerful then my jedi. I bought a ris armor with 7000 energy res +350health with armor break slice and some attachs on it i am hoping to kill all my bounty targets now. My lightning cannon is a sabre like weapon with 63acc also which is a ranged weapon;i got poison,i got fire,i got paralyze,i got millions of debuffs while jedi have none, only a pathetic snare, if he use statis on me i use paralyze on him,also i heal myself 1200 with my heals and i can use 3different heals consequently while jedi need to wait 2-3sec of delay for another heal. And bounty hunter combat medic takes only 3-4days to complete while opening jedi needs 6months and 2months needed to grind it. Also my bounty hunter doesn't need to spend 100millions to lightsabre crystals, and not chased by other bounty hunters. I can earn money easily and jedi's are dependent on bounty hunters for supply ofattachments.Jedi are good at one thing but...running away and cloaking. well thanks to burst run foods i got no hard time on catching jedis with forcerun.
Well open armor for jedi's once more. It won't unbalance game but moreover balance it. Make it like teras kasi armor. If jedi wears armor he loses all other protections which jedi armor and force armor offers. Also the game will more look like a star wars movie. Cause in star wars there is no restrictions to jedis for wearing armor ( two villains also are wearing armor like exar-kun,darth vader). Whena player hits padawan he must be able to wear battle armor without restrictions. This will give jedis more options and freedom for their character aspects.

I'm for this idea. Can you imagine if I was able to add say the protection of an all around 6k RIS suit on top of my 7k Jedi Innate armor? I would be one tough mutha....
you'd only get 10k. thats cap. ask anyone with mdef/0400 enh. it should give 11k worth of resists but no.

its called defender
The SP for defender are becoming more and more worthless. AI is worthless, force valor and force aura received a big nerf. So all the skills except the defense mods and inate armor on it are broken.
lovisa wrote:Jedi do not wear armor not in movies or ingame .
but we mayby should get like +10 iniate armor in paddy box and some melee/range defens like +50
that is more then enought for a jedi to survile
Incorrect. Darth Vader wore Sith Armor, Exar Kun had armor, along with several other Sith and Jedi. They were specially made to not interfere with the force when worn on Jedi/Sith.
Only in SWG are Jedi prevented from wearing any armor. I think we should have the choice on special Jedi only armor if they continue to break defender skills they way they are. And it should work like TK, so armor worn doesn't stack with innate armor.
