in my opinion no. sap doesnt do enough for me, especially in PvE. if you are going to drop def 4xxx or x4xx then drop x4xx because the ranged def doesnt help jedi at all the way it currently works

I heard its good against MCM/BH.

you might want to consider it if the changes in the test center goes through...In the test center the combat medics and docs are getting higher mind/action costs which will kill a bh's offensive and healing skills. If they play the way they are used too, this means that mind and action bars take greater hits (some up to 3 times what is being used now). Sap will be a great benifit if the bh are spamming attacks and heals because of the extra costs. Sap is great if you use it right. I apply it in the beginning of a fight because a bh tries to kill you fast and he expends alot of mind and action right off the bat. Then i just wait till he gets low again then reapply it. Then just wait him out. Works every time. Alot of bh are saying the fights will take longer, which is bad thinking on their part. If they cant spam attacks, we dont have to use up force defending which actually gives us more time to and force to plan better attacks.

Mind cost is still the same on TC but action cost indeed went up 3 times more, bacta shot is like 15%, spray is I think is 20% and toss I think is also 15%, sap may become a use again on those guys.

But prepare for a new "FOTM" BH template after this.

i got improved in mytemplate and it kills bhs also jedi in duels in 1 on 1 its worth in mass pvp or pve useless

I hit a MCM with it as soon as he attacked me (and missed, fortunately). Don't think he noticed because he just went through his usual rigmarole of applying paralyze, trauma, etc. After I had attacked him a few times and he was in a healing pattern he had less than 1/4 mind left, and that was less than 2 minutes into the fight.

So, it's nice.

Useful against Jedi only to hamper their action really, as mind is seldom a concern for them.

I almost have the xp banked to make the change (drop def x4xx forsap) but i'm a bit concerned because i'll be losing 1200 innate armor. I have read that all you need is improved aura for defense.

sap is kinda like menh statis - in that 1v1 its a killer move - however in large pve/pvp it much less effective

I'm thinking about dropping either def 4xxx or x4xx for healer xx4x. Would it be worth it to lose the melee/ranged defense plus innate armor for improved sap ?

Keep Defender xx4x if you can. The +500 defense is priceless!
