Sorry for posting yet another template question. I know how annoying it is to some. But please understand, I'd rather have the benefit of other's experience than to grind a template for months that I'm not going to like. That being said, I think I've decided on the following, although NOTHING is set in stone at this point.


LS: 0424

Heal: 4000

Enh: 3402

Def: 4040

Powers: 0400


First thing I noticed is this template has only 5225 force power max. 250 more if I wear the jedi robe.


I'd like opinions on the viability of this template for pve and pvp against BH/Other jedi. My main focus at this point is PvE and BH defense/avoidance. Also, I'd like to know which might be better, force armor or another line in defender.


Thanks in advance for anyadvice you can give.

I would suggest at least one mastery, Unless your dead set on it I would drop cloak and go Msaber with everything else the same. Cloak is nice but not really needed.

Oooh that's a hard decision. Cloak is my favorite ability yet. But what about force armor vs another full branch in defender? Also, if I do go for MLS, will Imp Force Speed really help much or can I put those 4 skill points into something else?

Or... what if I went master powers instead of having any LS at all? This would let me keep cloak. Still the same question, though. Imp Force Armor or another branch in defender?


Mpowers
Def: 4040
Heal: 4000
Enh: 3402


This would give (Including my FS skills):


Force power max +6050
Force power regen +54
Melee def +170
Ranged def +80
Force Accuracy +140
Force Def +80
Innate Jedi Armor +22
General Melee & Ranged speed +12 each
Jedi state defense +170

You forgot the +10 (+20 ? can't remember...) innate jedi armor at padawan box. Looks like a good temp, you can take some damage with that defense (adds + 40 to innate armor with improved FA).


You won't be a damage dealer, but good support player which can take some damage and heal himself (herself). And in case of a BH, root, forcerun and cloak will prevent you from dying. You just have to be sure of the role you want to play, cause it ll be hard to go solo on PvE with this temp, well against high level mobs.

Thank you for your advice. That tells me a lot.


I'm still not sure of force armor over 4440 def or 4044 def. Any further advice about this particular aspect? Doesn't force armor cost force when you're hit? That on top of Powers being force intensive, is it worth it over 4440 or 4044 def?

If I were you I'd get another full branch of defender rather than force armor.


Even tho they reduced the force cost, you still lose ALOT of force when you're taking damage. It sucks the big one.

Well was mls/mdef/heal3000/ench0002 and change it for mls/healer4000/ench3404/defender2040.

If you want my opinion second template works better with force aura and force armor havent any problem at all ,except that, have root,drain,fr1,fspeed2.Yea force armor eats force but is no so bad i enjoy my current template better than first,my advice is go with what y like more.

All in all, this is a pretty solid template. It's Force intensive, but you'll have decent defenses and some nice side abilities. The main thing to consider is what you want your role to be. Master Powers does not lend itself to being the primary damage dealer, so keep that in mind. While Powers may be fun to play with,it does not have the damage output of Master Lightsaber. If you want to be in the frontlines, go Lightsaber. If you like support, Powers will work just fine.

Mayi make a suggestion? If your not going to get a single mastery you should get all tier 4 boxes to get as much force as possible, imo you could do without that first line in defender, if you want that spin attack from double blade do this template....


0444 Sabers


4404 enhancer


4000 healer


0040 defender


0400 powers


You will have about 5800 max force pool which isnt too bad, and over 6k with a robe. I think this would be a cool template.


oh btw i used to have that second template you posted, (the master powers one) yeah had the exact same temp, After a while you will get frusterated not having any lightsabers, wont be able to kill any jedi, my advice is take the temp i listed above youll enjoy it

Thanks everyone for your advice. I'm not 100% sure where I'm going yet, but you've all helped a lot.
