Thread: Defender dabler question
i use to have the template you are going for. Sap rocks, however, the damage mitagated by force armor 2 was more worth it to me in the end. I switched out of sap and picked up fa2 and am doing much, much better in pvp.
Finally what I did was modify it to what I do.
mls
enh 34x4
heal 4xxx
def 2x4x
I haven't lost to a bh yet, but I still haven't come across the 2 best mcm/mbh on our server.

my template is master sabers/4440 defender/3002 enhancer/4000 heal...and it rocks...i am debating going 4040 defender and picking up force armor 2.....

Originally was MDef LS x4x4 Enh 3xx4 Heal 4x2x
Switched to Def 4x4x MLS Enh 34x2 Heal 4xxx
Now Def 4x4x MLS Enh 32x4 Heal 4xxx
First temp was great - tank forever - but low dmg ouput
2nd temp - force armor blows - would rather regen a bit faster after the fight since now MLS can usually finish fight quicker
Now is great - but force armor again is a waste imo - so I will pick up Def 424x only to help against those really hard hitting BH/MCM's we now come across occassionally and lose force armor
And I think your incorrect in your original post saying that melee defence is the only one important - that is a debate on the effectiveness of melee and ranged defence foods - not the defender skill trees
gives you all the possible innate armor without having MDEF, and you block most big ranged shots anyways with this template. it's a nice practical template.
