Force Armor line worth it for a DEx based jedi?

Recommended Posts

It seems that there is some type of cap on how much DEFENSE bonus you can receive from force powers. Is this combined with the Defense your getting from DEX? Meaning you can only have a certain amount of defense ie a cap? Or can you get as much defense as possible from DEX and the cap is on the amount of DEF you can get from force powers combined (Valor, Speed Armor)?

Just tried it out on a sentinel and with my wisdom gear I have a Defense of 43 (all buffs) when I put on my DEX gear i have a DEF of 47 (all buffs)..what do you think Hassat? So force armor line or no!?

Not sure what you're asking.

 

Also, what armor are you wearing. Armors which allow Force Powers to be cast still block WIS-to-DEF (definitely seems like a bug to me), which might have upset your expiriment if that was what you're using.

I'm wearing Jedi robes. Basically what I'm saying is if your going to get master valor and speed on a dex oriented Jedi is their any point in getting the force armor powers if you will probably hit the cap with just master speed, valor and your dex defense.

Ok so after testing I finally figured it out. With all THREE buffs you get a MAX defense of 10 (all master versions of course) no matter what. My character naked had a base defense of 29 with all three buffs running she had 39 as intended (2 master valor + 4 Master Speed + 4 Force Armor). With my wisdom set up she had a defense of 33 no buffs with all three running she had 43 ( 4 from VALOR because I am equipping my lightsaber this time + 4 Speed and only a + 2 from armor=10). In my DEX set up I had a base defense of 37 so again with all buffs running I had a max defense of 47 (mind you its a slacker DEX set up because its not the way I build this Sentinel but you guys get me!). So no matter what its a bonus of TEN from all three so if your going to max Valor and Speed which are better its only worth getting the first point (force aura) to maximize your AC from force buffs!! We all know that saving throws are near useless in K2 so getting the other two points is crap nation. The only two bosses that use force powers are pretty much unresistable unless you get force immunity which are points better spent imo as it is more effective then saving throws!

never mind my math is off....fully NAKED I get 12 points in defense. With gear on whether is my WIS set up or DEX set up I only get 10 for some reason...I give up. Just going to take the first rank of it for the extra 2 def i know ill get no matter what.
