there is a lot of disagreement over these skills as to whether or not they are worth it.
Force armor I reduces damage by 25%
Force armor II reduces damage by 45%
Both of these skills drain your force pool whenever you get hit. Most people seem to agree that force armor is very good for short duration fights, but fights of any length will have your force pool emptied in no time.
Because Force armor I stops less damage than force armor II, it also drains less force per hit than FA II, so this skill is better for longer fights.
Both of these skills when coupled with synthsteak and jedi toughness ( from defender ) make you VERY VERY damage resistant.

Biggest problem with using force armor is the drain on your force power.
Jedi with 0 force=dead Jedi.

it can help in some situations, but first of all you need to make an uber Saber or FA kill you.
im ehancher 4203 and def 4000.

People don't like FA. But when the other Jedi die, i'm still around. And a hotkey later I'm over the horizon...
I like it, it's not something I got on at all times. Just when it starts to look grim.

Didnt test exact numbers due to lack of time but for those considering FA id say go for it.
My temp
Ls 0400 Mpowers Enh 2404 Heal 4100 Nov def
So i have 30 innate armour as a base but with force armour my damage is nicely reduced and the FC is minimal. Tested in PVE and my force bar barely budged from being hit and i was able to happily use powers and lightsaber moves without needing to regen much afterwards.
Did one test duel against a defence stacked melee toon (no ranged available) and after i emerged victorious i was on just over half force thats with FA2 on using powers such as choke and lightning and intim and hitting with LS moves and healing.
Im sure someone like MSNil can provide hard numbers cos shes good at that but in practical tests seems a viable thing for keeping you alive that bit longer.

Could anyone post the exact stats of this skill?
Im mostly concerned about the force drain per damage delt, but all stats would be usefull. 
Thanks

We used to have them stickey'd up there somehwhere but not sure if they still are (2 may be at 45%) -- cant rem.
