from a solo player perspective: Im sure master defenders have soloed stronger things than any pikeman has ever soloed and will continue to do so still. In a group i can see other professions being better than jedi, but solo master defender i dont think there is anything better for soloing or attempting to solo high end things.

I was waiting around at the Storm Lord earlier today, and the group I put together was taking some time, so I got to watch another group go at it for a while. They seemed pretty well put together with a mix of healing, ranged, and Jedi/melee.. Can anyone guess who was tanking?Even though they had a M. Defender, itwas a Pikesman in kinetic layered, AB sliced RIS


Master Defender has been cycled out as the premier tankbecause we have no counter to armor break, and it seems that all high level boss mobs use it quite liberally after Pub 24. I would like to thankthe powers that be for my 80 skill point armor that can be outdone at a cost of ZERO skill points by any normal melee profession.

actually you can get armor break resistance quite easy now for M.Def. It is a quest that starts in the mustafar mining facility and is quite easy (if you call killing a cl 84 jedi easy)


sith holocron : 1 forbidden knowledge


gain immunity to armor break for a health cost


reuse 3600 secs






Yes...and it lasts for 2 minutes I think? Also point out that this is a quest item from ToOW which costs more money. Also point out that you can not use multiples of these...they all work off the same 3600s (1 hour) timer.


Master Defender, after the AI nerf, is as far from atank as a nerf gun is to an AK-47.

The stupid thing is that everything they have added in the name of balance had been against Jedi. I thought it laughable that one of the few things that they have added to Jedi was the armor break ability and then low and behold what should appear in publish not to long after but armor break resistant slices for armor. You have to admit these DEVs are really good at stringing people along getting them to keep paying for subscriptions.

I thinks it's about time the devs made some kind of statement regarding our proffession and the future course of jedi as a whole.As the constant nerfs to our proffession has now become a joke.

I still think MDef is the best tank. I grinded in a group with my alt and our tank was a master pikeman/master doc. Lets put it this way: Good thing for him I was grinding CM and needed heal XP. The Pikets where level 78. I couldnt heal him fast enough at the same time he was healing himself as a Master Doc. RIP pikeeeey

As A Mdef i have NO trouble doing this even if noone heals me.

rotfl.


MDef is still useful PvP, though, with the right foods. For PvE though, forget it.


The devs want Jedi to be PvPers. Always have, always will. It's not right, but that's the way it is.
