Jedi and bounty hunter tweaks

[Icefallen]

So i know that most jedi go mls because the block is just too strong not to. so why not change how much mls block gives? why not reduce it to +15 and give every other mastery +10. That way people can still get the 85% block if they go double mastery, but doesnt completely gimp the other mastery builds without master ls


Bounty hunter adhesive grenades vs jedi should actually only immobile the target, not freeze them. the description says immobile after all.

I floated this as an idea Ice.

It's stated that powers are a glass cannon. However even with the very nice tweaks to speed and force cost (to a degree) it's still not up to DPS. Going through the FRS will improve that though. Ancker adds to the post some very nice thoughts from her tests of powers. At the moment force cost and speed is not viable to LS.

If cannon is to be used as a benchmark, look at when Kylo Ren holds a blaster bolt in mid air. That can be seen as a 'powers block'. It stops the blaster bolt dead in its tracks, making it safe for the force user. The same as LS block does.

Personally I would love it if powers truly was a viable alternative to lightsabre. Details are of course in the above link. They actually touch closely on the theme you described.

Giving saber block to non-combat force skills doesn't make sense. It's a skill specific defense measure. That's like asking to move force defense to saber so you don't have to go master defender to get better force numbers. The devs continue to work on balance for Jedi. There is no overnight fix otherwise Sony would have gotten it right years ago.

Powers has come a long way in the last 6 weeks and is still working toward being a viable alternative. It's not there yet, but down the road sure. Anything can happen on Awakening.

Fair enough i had some other ideas but that one seemed like the easiest suggestion to try out.
