Hi all, I've been playing around with various templates for a good, fun, well rounded character. I don't PvP and I do everything I can to stay off the terms so this is mainly for PvE. I've narrowed it down to these 3:

MPowers, LS 0400, Heal 4000, Enh 4004, Def 0040

MPowers, LS 0400, Heal 4000, Enh 0004, Def 4040

MPowers, LS 0400, Heal 4000, Enh 0004, Def 4400

I tried the stickies and a quick search but didn't see anything on this but are 2 trees in defender overkill and would the ability to live longer (2 def branches) outweigh speed (FR2 and FS2)? I also haven't done much in the defender tree yet but with a force intensive template, would 4400 be better than 4040? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ls 0400, Def 0040, Enh 2402,Heal 2000, Master Powers

Awsome PVE template and works well in PVP. Whatever you decide the aura/force armor combo works great i would try and fit that in.

I know, I know, it's another template advice thread. Just don't post here if you don't want to. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here is the template that I am currently considering:

Master Powers

4004 Enhancer

4000 Healer

0040 Defender

0400 Lightsaber

I know for a solid fact that I want atleast MPowers, 4000 Healer, and 0040 Defender. What I am hung up on is what to get in Enhancer and Lightsaber. I know that improved speed and channel are important, and so that is howI settled on the 4004 Enhancer part. I figure that meditate and FR2 couldn't hurt since I have already invested in those branches. Having a branch in LS would be nice to add to my damage output since the attacks are on different timers, but I am considering investing in improved force armor instead of Lightsaber skills for the extra defense. So my other main option is this:

Master Powers

4000 Healer

0040 Defender

4404 Enhancer

...

That leaves me 13 skillpoints to spare. It would probably be pointless to invest in LS skills with so few SP, so I was wondering what might be a good choice to use those last 13 points for if I decide to go the FA2 route over LS skills.

All in all, I am leaning towards the first template, but I would like to get some input on whether FA2 is worth getting over some extra DPS from a branch in LS. If anyone has played this template I'd appreciate your take on how it stacks up in PvP or PvE.

Edit: Found a typo already.

I have a very similar template. I have Master Powers, LS 0400, Def 0040, Heal 4000, and ENH 0404.

I really like this template, I have had a lot of success with it so far, but I am still learning all my little tricks and such. I took FA2 over the celerity tree because I felt it was more valuable than force run, force speed, and force suppression...especially with Force Aura. I hope this little bit helps, but if you have spacific questions I will do my best to answer them.

the first template with force armor 2 instead of force aura 2 would be best imo, force armor 2 and novice defender and you have a great template, i know somone on my server with that template and some say he is the best powers jedi on the server

i played a variation of your listed tempates...

masterpowers

0400 sabers

4404 enhancer

4100 healer

with this template the only thing i couldnt do is solo a djm. you wont become unstoppable, but you become pretty hard to beat if you can play it correctly. a friend of mine had the same thing but with 4000 healer and novice defender, but i liked healing wounds. i changed just recently out of this template again, but that is something i will only reveal in a PM.

Ok I appreciate all the feedback so far.

What I'm hearing is that this template would also be viable:

Master Powers
4000 Healer
4404 Enhancer
0040 Lightsaber
novice Defender

My only concern with that would be the potential drain on the force pool, but that is sounding like a sweet temp.

As for the template with 0404 Enhancer over the force speed branch, I'd like to know if you have problems with your attack speed and if this is an issue for you.

I have the same template as the first one you listed & I love it. As for switching DEF 0040 enhancer 4004 for nov defender enhancer 4404 I'd suggest jsut a thought for ya. They can armorbreak yoru force armor but they can't break yoru 500 defense & the added chance to for them to miss you & the damage mitigation from aura 2.

Essentially I have settled on the MPowers, 4000 heal, 4?04 Enhancer part. What it really comes down to is should I take improved aura or FA2, or drop the LS skills for both? I would assume aura and FA go nicely together, but would I be lacking too much in the damage department if I went with the heavier defense?

Do any of you guys with just x4xx LS ever have problems with only have an area knockdown? Like are there ever times where you wish you had a single KD?
