1. PLEASE PUT YOUR OPINIONS IN THIS THREAD
2. PLEASE MAKE THEM CONSTRUCTIVE AND NO FLAMING PLEASE
I see a few threads coming up with people wanting Master Defender to have a "Armor Break Resistance" special added in light of the AI changes. I don't believe this special should ever be considered wether I was a Master Defender or not (I am not basing this on my templete but as a whole in general). Maybe you agree or don't and that is great. Please express your views on this matter.
Let me explain.
Defender is already nuts with Jedi vs Player and this would onlyfurther throw off what little balance we may be hanging onto if you are a MD (iI' looking at it from both Jedi and non Jedi sides). As far as Jedi vs Jedi it would make Defender a MUST to survive and no 1 discipline should be required that is why there are 5 to choose from.
Let me break it down further into some numbers. Please read slowly lol
Lets say I am a Master Defender and I fight 2 non master defenders. If I had ABR theneach would equally be half as effective against me as and I would be hitting them individually two to three times harder then they are hitting me.
(I believe these are all correct numbers)
Me getting hit with ABwhich isa75% reduction to my armor effectiveness which iscountered by aneffectiveness by 65% with ABRI beleive leads you to something like armor break instead being now 16% effective when applied against you. Against a master defender at 7000resistance(52.5%) this leavesthe MDdown to 5800 -5900 (47.5%) instead of the usual armor break leaving a MD with 2450 (24%). A non master defender may have even less innate thus making your dps ratio even more unbalanced because of this special. This move would make a master defender way to "out of the balance" for most if anot every other profession and class out there. Again, with this in mind you would almost have to be a MD to complete with a MD period.
I hope this may open eyes to the potential downfall of a move like this (putting Armor Break Resistance in Master Defender).
