I was thinking about Jedi skills and the thought came to me that it would be kinda cool if powers had some kind of block, comparable to lightsaber block. It would be a simple mod for powers, force block if you will, that does the same thing as lightsaber block, only for powers.
Of course, it would be a lesser amount than lightsaber block, and would probably be best if it were all at the master box. Also it would probably be good for it not to stack with lightsaber block, for I could see that to be potentially imbalancing.
I don't think this is unreasonable, nor unrealistic. Most of us know that some Jedi can block blaster bolts with their hands.
No, I'm not master powers, so this isn't about me trying to buff up my template. I also realize that this will never happen, nor see the light of day, nor even be considered. It was just a fun idea to kick around in my head and something I just thought would be pretty cool. I was tossing it out here to see what people thought.
Agree, disagree, comments, observations, conclusions, love letters, rude remarks?

I agree and being a MPowers I don't like to rely on my opponent missing so that I am not hit everytime, but I think it should be more of a dodge maybe.

Something I thought of that has gotten positive feedback on the forums was about adding Dodge mod to Powers... I mean did you see the Emperor move in EP3

Did you also notice he was swinging a lightsaber around too.

Lightsaber already has the block option, so does Defender's Force Valor. Those are an option for ANY Jedi. Why do we need another tree consumed with block? Should we also add an option to Powers that allows you to heal, or run faster?

No Powers template is competitive in pvp without at least some saber.
My templae is...
Master Powers
Ehnacer 4004
Healer 4000
Defender 0040
LS 0400
LS is essential to have because you need more than one attack to be able to compete. Heck half the time i'll justalternate Lightning & Headhit, & it actually works well against jedi & non-jedi adding chokeintimidate & aura of as I gocourse. The dodge mod would help out soooo much, & redusing the animation root & zip bars would be nice as well. 
To be fair though i'm asking for all this stuff & I already win about 65-70% of my Jedi VS Jedi fights & 90% of non-jedi fights. So I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much lol.

Thanks for the criticism.
However what I had in mind was it being a completely different mod, and not stackable in any way with lightsaber block. That is to say, you couldn't get both and them both work. Only one or the other would apply, whichever you had more of overriding and cancelling out the other.
Also, why put block in powers? It seems like a good thing to put there. We've seen lightsabers block blaster shots, but we also know that powerful jedi canblock it by sheer use of force power.

What I am saying is that being a Jedi should be considered a mixture of all the professions. If you master something in this game, just be prepared not to have the same abilities as another profession.

It should not be a block it should be blaster mitigation power of some kind that allows a weilder to absorb incoming blaster fire to some extent, Or maybe a power that allows one to create a barrier to deflect or absorbincoming blaster fire kind of like block and force absorb.
this is a big maybe because if you remember vader has armor and robotic hands

Again, don't Jedi in this game already have these options in other disciplines? Why are we talking about adding something from Enhancer or Defender into the Powers tree? I think quite simply if you want to master something, be prepared to lack alot of other jedi traits.

Yea they will never do anything like thatplus there seems to be a movment lately on these forums to keep us nerfed, we will be lucky to have anything fixed.
With that in mind, imo it would be a major help to powers if weaken actually weakened the enimes defences and health, its a big waste of a skill really 
edit: i know it does lower health by a very very VERY small percentage but its usless.

I see what you're saying, and can agree with that.
