So... Recon armor is higher defence versus energy.
I am lead to believe that Jedi are "melee" BUT do "energy" dammage.
Is this right? SO Recon versus Jedi is best?
I'd ask the Jedi but they are so upset right now, I think I'll leave them alone 
I.e. which armor is best against Jedi??
Thanks folks

Recon armor is the best, HOWEVER, rifle wieldersstill take more damage in melee than other ranged weapons. (I think)

So perhaps you see my question.
Jedi are melee, yet do energy damage (right?) so do I want armor that is good vs. melee (assuming my mixed template gives the option),or armor that is good vs. energy when I fight Jedi??
Perhaps you mean that ranged templates are inherently less effective vs. Jedi, BUT if I happen to be a ranged only template, Recon armor is my best bet vs. Jedi.
Or am I just crazy...

You get your defense from profession trees, in this case you want melee defense, but you won't be getting it from armor For armor, concentrate on finding armor with good resistance vs energy and elemental (depends on color I believe) damage component that lightsabers inflict. Ranged fighters will have an inherently hard time fighting jedi. (hello, they can deflect blaster fire.
)
BTW, damage type has always been determined by the weapon, not profession. Otherwise, I have no idea what you were referring to.

Ranged has no innate penalty to melee. Hell, you can stay prone and shoot at a melee ranged attacker and live to tell the tale now...

I know, that's hilarious . . . I was dueling in theed and I would go --
/prone
/duel
I'm ready
and the people would ALWAYS start laughing . . . but then they stopped about 15 seconds later
