Ok i know that Melee defense capps at 800 but is there a cap for Innate armor here is a few basic questions i want somekind of solid answers to.
1. so is Improved FA actually usefull with master defender? i mean will it actually reduce the dmg taken and hence reduce the force taken from you when you get hit because of your already high defences?
2. IS this really worth it? I have seen armor trees to represent your armor with innate defences and I am curious if those cap or if they can be driven to the max with no capps
Currently I am playin with Powers 4000 LS 4040 Mdef Enh 1002 Heal4000 I picked up powers because while i could tank any Bher i could not do enough dmg output to keep him on his toes long enough before i ran out of Force. Powers seems to deal the kind of dmg needed to be effective in that dept and having enough LS to be effective there too. Also i dont even really notice a difference in not having master sabers to make it worth while(been there done that)
Please any answers to these questions thanks....

if you have MDef then anything over basic FA is a waste since Innate caps at 60% reduction which you already have passed with Mdef and FA1

well i dont already have fa1 its 0100 thats not in my temp but i guess a better question would be where does master defenders innate capp and would fa1 actually reduce the dmg take with master def

MDef caps innate at roughly 54% mitigation you can pick up the other 6-7% from FA1

okay quick clarification here, are we talking FA as in Force Armor, or as in Force Aura?

1. NO Improved Force Armor (FA2) is a waste of points with MDef.
2. In my opinion Force Armor (FA1) is waste of points as well. You would be much better served if you picked up either Enhancer 2xxx or xxx2 with those points, instead of the additional 6% damage armor mitigation. You will loose force per hitwith FA acitve as it mitigates damage. Remember when you activate Force Aura (xx4xDef) you will significantly reduce the damge coming in due to the Accuracy vs Defensive modifier, so there is no need to worry about that 6%.
