Simple solution would be to not allow the MLS def abilities to stack with defender. If a defender goes MLS they shouldn't be able to have such a advantagious ability as 50% blocks and/or +250 def AND be able to use their defender skills. I'd also say the same needs to be done with the enhancer abilities with defender, though allowing them to stack (possibly at a slight decrease?) with the LS abilities. I'm not fluent in the power of enhancer defense buffs so either a whiner or an experienced enhancer could correct me on that.

That's just it... the developers will never allow anything that acts like armor that will *not* be breakable using ArmorBreak.
Thus Saber Melee Block, which is actually Saber Melee Armor in your proposal, will be vulnerable to ArmorBreak if this design is implemented by the developers. If you want it to be invulnerable to Armor Break, then it can't act like armor.
That means turning it into the melee equivalent of Saber Block: a straight percentage chance that the melee attack misses when it should have hit. And the developers won't allow a 54% chance of a straight miss; they'll end up reducing it to 25% at Master. At best.





Well the melee block is a 52% chance of a 20% reduction per attack at MLS. Think of it as a 50/50 chance of a free intim, if you will. You are right though, it does act as unbreakable armour, that was the intension, a small unbreakable damage reduction ability for mastering sabers. Now as as for it being changed to a melee saberblock, well 25% chance of 0% damage > 52% chance of 80%...

You could be right, who knows. Honestly though, this is my vision of how i would like it to be, not my vision as nerfed by the DEVs. If they knew how to present Jedi well, would i have even needed to write this post?

Nice idea but restricting some specials to certain saber types... I dont agree with I really like the fact that I dont have to keep switching weapons just to preform certain attacks anymore... this unfortunatly would bring that back. But nice all the same particularly like that getting titles idea.... I miss having a title

Ok, time to get a little geeky

Vaapad is actually form VIIb, it is Mace Windu's personal extension and completion of form VII, Juyo, which you'll see is the form granted at MLS. I thought it better to leave out Vaapad because it was a style only known by 3-4 people (in my knowledge) and even more rare than Juyo. Also, guys would then be asking for Shatterpoint and all kinds of crazy finishing moves

that would be tight, but then every other prof would be able to to or we would pwn em lol, i loved the moves in academy, i still play multiplayer with my friends when they come over, jedi master lvl comps with master force or no force is a blast

hmmm, well I see that if stun does what it is supposed to do then polearm becomes extremely unbalanced as a fourth tier box special, every bit as unbalancing as armor break if improved armor break is moved to master in your system.



Stop action regen vs armor debuff seems like a toss up to me.
