Thread: Why no one uses Powers
I'm going that way myself at the moment, changing from 3000 Heal/0020 Def.

Ah, the Great Dark Force Wielder template

It would be nice to see this template more. It relies entirely on skill, not on who has the better saber or more skill tapes.
Damn your teeth, Keln. I've been trying and trying to justify keeping saber in my template, but I think you just pushed it away for good.

How do you fair solo in PvE?

Pretty good actually. I can't tank very well, but I can root with the best of em. If I was in a confined space with, say a NPC Jedi Knight...I'd probably be screwed. But I have killed lesser krayts, and Kimos, DWB SBDs,and hoards of gurks, and all kinds of things with this template. I don't usually die in PvE anyways. And getting away in PvE if it gets bad is cheesecake for my template.
Honestly, my template is better at group fights. Alot of my high end attacks/states are area/cone. For instance, I can't KD, intim, or stun without it being area attack. They are good ones, but I run the risk of aggroing everything within a certain radius...so I can't use them solo'ing sometimes. I've had a couple dozen NS after me because they were intimidated by me (ironic, I know) and it wasn't pretty. And I had only aimed at one ![]()
Anyway, I hope that answers your question.
Maybe if BHs had counters for sabre throw, dervish, armor break (ok, they do on that front and look at how controversial that is), power attack... Imagine if you are a MLS, and a BH (or anyone else) could counter pretty much all of your moves, use them to refill their HAM and/or reflect the damage you deal out right back at you. Sounds horrible doesn't it. Welcome to our World, the World of MPowers being negated by a set of novice skills practically every single Jedi has.

Well i was wondering how it would do against BHs, but more interested in how Powers or Master Powers would do against other jedi once the FRS came back. I'm guessing it wouldn't be that good...
vs other jedi you'd have to have group help
vs bhs i hear mpowers template totally own any bhs that come their way
if by 'KD, run, cloak' you mean 'totally own' then yes. BH have MUCH better melee/ranged def. they have really nice energy armor. all kinds of root/snare/kite. usually MCM. just as many heal/stim d/kd recover/etc macro's as you can imagine (granted jedi have the option for this but BH get the jump of you when your not running them).
Mpowers is slow from warm up timers (which basically root you btw), weak due to lack of any defense and the fact that the damage is not that spectacular, and is only gonna get nerfed more in the future (cloak cry babies to thank for that).
