Thread: 80-85% Armor or 60-85% Lightsaber block, What do you prefer?

Hmm well can we have somewhere in between?
I would like to have some block, but some armor so that I don't have to heal myself every 5 seconds when fighting a big PvE spawn...
I wouldnt mind something in between myself. Id accept 60% saber block at master lightsaber (40% at Lightsaber Techniques 4) if it blocked melee attacks as well.

Since the revamp and the removal of the Jedi's ability wear armor, we have all seen are Lightsaber blocking ability against ranged attacks increased. Many people (mostly ranged classes) feel that this makes us way overpowered (melee classes however arent minding it at all).
So my question to my fellow Jedi is this-
Would you rather have your 80-85% resist Composite Armor back or are you happy with Lightsaber block?
The thing is, the lightsaber blocking did not increase. Jedi guardians pre patch 9 had the same blocking chance AND they could wear armor.
We don't need armor back, we need to be able to block melee attacks too. Maybe not at the same rate as ranged attacks, but we need some melee defenses. Right now a Jedi who doesn't take Defender is a frail thing, easily decimated by melee hits if he cannot run away. While I don't think this should really change, I do think that until the combat balance happens, Jedi need some secondary defenses vs. melee attacks.

it take block over armor.
armor = encumberance
You do know that our Lightsabers do not use HAM for specials.... right?

How about they give us what they promised and let us have resistant robes.

I think he is refering to the regen on your pools not so much the saber cost

i would have prefered theyremovedthe 97.5% offensive against jedi vs jedi fights, so they can be a victor. Though kept the nerf for jedi vs non jedi fights. That way everyone would have been happy,and wouldn't have had to cancel my account. Though basic common sense like that is beyond the grasp of a Developer.

I really wanted resists in the robes too but the problem is, I really hate the robes. We went from Composite Clone Jedi to Bright-White-Padawan-Robe Jedi, not a huge improvement.
IdrisTychomentioed that Guardians pre-patch had the same saber block and they could wear armor. That is true but the majority of the Jedi were not Guardians and even at Padawan (old system) i'm pretty sure I didnt have +60 saberblock or anwhere close to it (i think it was +15 but ive spelt since then). The day the revamp hit i received +60 Lightsaber block. I guess i was speaking about my (and other low level jedi's) revamp gains and not every single Jedi as a whole. The majority of the Jedi before the revamp were not Guardians (or even Knights) and didnt have access to the amount of saber block that they have now.
