Unless force regen rates are changed to regenerate the force pool as fast as health, action or mind (which I doubt they would be), then I'll still need channel as my template is force-use intensive.

I have not had channel in my template in months. It is simply not useful in a fight. It is so many points regened per 10 seconds last time I checked and it pretty much seems to regen at a static rate. Along with adding robes you would get 1 more point per second. IF we get an FRS back then the higher you go the higher your regen will be successfully making channel obsolete imo.

Well, some comparions might be needed both before and after Publish 24 is pushed to live.

1) How long to regenerate the max health pool number after channeling to full force from given percentages of available force (i.e., how long after channeling from 25% remaining, from 50%, etc.).

2) How long to regenerate force innately, with and without robes, from those same percentages of remaining force pool.

If, after Publish 24, it takes less time to regenerate force innately than it does to regenerate the max health pool number after channeling, then I'd be willing to consider spending the points elsewhere.

But until that's proven, I'll keep using channel.

doenst matter if you have channel or not in your template...it matters if you can play with or without it. had it for a while but if u have double master and two teir 4 sklls plus robes you get 7200 force which is alot. if you fight conservative, which is the best way to fight a bh, you should never burn through that much in most cases.

I'm not worried at all about Bh's. Im in a great guild on a not used planet with an out of the way city that we actually hunt out of. So i dont see myself getting to much vis cept for some really really random passer buy and if a Npc happens to spawn near us mid fight.

I'm more interested in slaying other jedi.

Really can't answer this question until we find out just exactly what the devs mean by "fixed" when Pub 24 comes out.

Almost impossible to play without Channel.

As a matter of fact, it's about impossible to play on BRIA 'cs SOE is refusing to update the 4 year old hardware and outdated software that is unable to manage their corrupted database.

Youcan avoid Channel if you have 3-5 Jedi around with Transfer Force.

Pick me !!

It was my understanding they only "fixed" regen stats on the robe being applied correctly. But as I said, only my understanding and IS subject to being wrong..

necessity? Never

Nice to have - in some cases yeah. Some templates are more force intensive then others, but I'd never sacrifice something you want to have just because you think you need channel.

I've never needed channel in PVP, fights are always over before I run out of force. PVE, well you can see more of a need for it here as hunts can last quite a while, depending on what you're doing.

Don't get me started on the robes thing ( brushes dirt off old bloodied padawan pajamas)

Channel is a necessity. W/o it i would just not be able to function. its mabye only not needed if you have a 8 FC saber.

if they would give us the 24 frs skill points back channel would be the first skill i would aquire without a doubt becuase it is useful since they screwed up our regen rates. but until that pig flies i can live without it.

since bh can aquire mandalorian wine which has uber health health boosts, would love to see a jedi force food or drink introduced to the game. would make a great quest item or at least a quest for the components.
