Thread: FA2 or Drain?
Ive been MLS,Enhancer 3402, Healer 4000, Defender 4040 and its avery good template for Pve & PvP.
FA II is more effective more Armor less Force Cost.
Drain Force?? what ?? when will u use this?? Only useful if you are gankin a defender and try to get his force so he cant us AI anymore. There is no use for drain Force in Mass-PvP or Duels.
Actually some people use it with the "same attack every second-Bug" this is good tactic but i dont think its fair using this bug.
Just my opinion

Actually, spamming Drain Force every second is an exploit even - not just "unfair". If you see it, report it.

Any other factors that differentiate between these templates that I haven't considered?Cheers,
Basic Force Armor gives +20 to Jedi Innate Armor and draws 30% of the damage mitigated from the Force pool.
Improved Force Armor gives +40 to Jedi Innate Armor and draws 8% of the damage mitigated from the Force pool.
If you only have Enhancer x2xx, your Force will drop like a rock.
Most choose Enhancer 3402 over 2403 because Force Drain has a huge reuse timer and is not very effective unless spammed by several Jedi against the same target.
Thanks for the replies guys. So going on the difference Eskona describes it sounds like FA2 is way better than FA1 and from what you both say Drain has very limited use. So what makes people choose 32x4 then, maybe just they like group PvP drainage, or meditate even? I guess it may be kind of obvious to some of you guys but I just wanted a bit of info from people with some experience of the skills ![]()
Thanks again,
@ Eskie
I think so too. But i see a many BHS spammen their Attacks every second , many Jedi spammin Dervish every second, People shuttin down Base countdown while cloaked, attackin while cloaked and so on.SOE doesnt care about Exploits. Report em u get the standard reply, thx very muchnext idiot please.Nuthin more nuthin less.
Thats why i call it unfair. I hope that he is man enough to play without bugusin.

Most people having only Enh x2xx are MDefs.
Innate Armor is capped at 100, so with 70 from MDef and 40 from Enh x4xx people would waste skill points, and the majority of the damage will be mitigated by the Defender Armor, so the Enh x2xx will not cause as much Force Drain as if it was the only line of defense.
In my opinion any type of Force Armor in addition to MDef is overkill since you only gain maybe 4% or 5% more mitigation, but some think differently

Yes I've heard of this once per second bug but don't really know much about it, only what I've read. Don't worry I've no intention of forming my template around a bug / exploit. I think the only 'exploit' I've ever used was the oneaaaages ago when I was a nub where yourvehicle would repair itself sometimes during storing / calling.I think even the most honest player there is must have used that one accidentally once or twice
