Mainly this template has been designed to fight Elders/Krayts/NightSisters/Nyax/Large Groups of Mokks etc..

I am aware of the Combat Upgrade but i might aswell get up as much defence now as possible and have some fun.

some defence lol.

all you need for elders ->

80% armor, Speedcapped PH, First Aid


rest is a bonus, same goes for krayt, except all u need is compo armor and a headhit/intimidate macro .

Against Elders and Krayts(big ones like giant canyon etc.) forget about melee defense....the tree of fencer is imo useless...elders tent to bypass any kind of melee or state-defense... even as an master swordi/fencer/pistoleer 1040 with capped state-def. they put the triple state-thingy on me...i never saw a miss in my cobat-log...all i saw was a counter-attack from time to time...But if u wanne build a defense-stacker i would go for:

Master Brawler/Swordi/Pike 0040/Pistoleer 0040/Medic 2030...U´ll have some nice state def. as well as ranged migration2...And 12sp left to spend in some usefull FS-Skills...

I have a question thats off topic.

How much defense vs states would a player need to become immune to them?

I was looking at a template like this.

Master Swordsman
Master Brawler
Fencer 0/0/4/0
Pikeman 0/0/2/0
Pistoleer 0/0/4/0
Medic 2/0/0/0

My character is human,so no free defenses for me.

If you're going to be PvPing and or high-level PvEing, you don't need to be anywhere near capped in melee/ranged defense. Ultra-high-level PvE targets ignore m/r def entirely, and diehard PvPers have more accuracy than you'd EVER hope to have in defense.

My template is:

Master Brawler
Master Swordsman
TK 4304
Fencer 2440
Medic 2000

249SP usage

When Phase 2 rolls around again, I'll drop down to Fencer 1440 and pick up the FS Melee Speed line to assure my capping with a Hammer in case the Devs decide to pull a Commando-style nerf on our main weapon.

there is no immunity.. just lowers your chance of getting stated.

i have the ultimate template im going to have one of my toons get. i'll post it later but its pretty original to the best of my knowledge. not a bad template posted tho.

So if there is no "immunity" to status attacks,what numerical value of each def vs state should I aim for?

I'd recommend dropping the 4/0/0/0 fencer in favor of 4/0/0/4 TKA. That will save you 6 skill points. Plus, pikeman isn't exactly the greatest for defenses.
