I have been hearing things that defender is better than enhancer, and enhancer is better than defender. What is better? Why? I want to pwn BH's when they come for me and not get killed myself. So far i am 2/0/0/0 healer, 0/0/2/0 Def, 2/2/0/2 Enh, and 0/0/3/3 LS and novice powers. Master LS and MEnh? or MLS and Mdef?

the way I look at it, enhancer is very nice..... the only problem with enhancer, all of the benefits are active, in other words, it takes a combat turn, and force power to activate them. Defender, on the other hand, has quite a few passive benefits. My particulat template, mpowers, healer 4000, enh 4002, defender 3440, seems to work good enough for me, the single mastery leaves me a little light in force pool, but it (defenses in defender) leave me open to concentrate on damage output, and aura.

I'm MLS MEnh Healer 4400. I really have no problem with BH (pre-CU jedi with good LS though), but I can say what I use most with BH in Enhancer tree is :


  • Force Suppression (root)to keep them in my fighting range - a BH more than 6m from me is a BH firing at me while I can't do anything to him (apart from Saber throw but not the best damage dealing attack)

  • Force Run when they put snare on me, really helps to keep the good range to fight them

  • Force Speed of course

And I think that if I'm really in difficulty Stasis will come handy, but atm I m using it in PVE only - when fighting several NS stalker it does help



Of course, Force Armor will never be as good as the total innate armor you get in Mdefender, but BH are ranged and don't have armor break, so that's enough for me. You don't get aura too, and with my BE clothes I musthave in total70 melee / 50 ranged def, which is poor, but once again, I can fight with that.


In my opinion, Enhancer has got some handy skills (forcespeed / forcechannel are really great) and others are fun skills (root / snare / stasis ...), and I find it funnier to play than Defender. And if you really are bad in a duel with a BH, stasis and forcerun to regen force and heal yourself, and you're back to the fight.


My point of view from a Menhancer, sure some Mdef will give theirs

Master enhancer is worth getting just for stasis imo very useful move good for using on a targe then using the time to regen a bit (or to turn on all that protection)

True, but usually I already got Force Armor / Force Speed activated when fighting, and most BHs I had came while I was on fight.But must agree that Force Armor can take a lot of force if the attacker can hit you hard, good point.

MLS/MDEF if you actually want to WIN the fight. MLS/MENH if you want the guaranteed escape. I'm MLS/MDEF and I've never lost in a one-on-one fight witha BH. Admittedly I have a pretty good saber but that just makes the fight shorter. Even MBH/MCMs go down pretty easy against a MLS/MDEF template - they just can't do enough damage to you and eventually their mind runs out and it's over.


This assumes you know how to pvp in general - if you're not a real pvp'er then MLS/MENH is a safer bet.
