Generic Tapes for Jedi (and other profs)

[StepoKedur]

Hi all

I'm wondering (and I'm sure I may have asked this before!) what skilltapes a jedi can benefit from (and to a degree other profs can).

For example, melee defence and ranged defence work for jedi and other profs.

Of course, no matter how many tapes you have, they can only add up to 25 - if you have +40 tape value for melee def you only get +25 benefit.

So as an example, can dodge benefit say a 1h LS user? Or is that classed as a melee skill for some things and an LS skill for others?

What have we got here, knowledge wise?

It's my understanding that skill mod effects are all limited to +25 max. So even if you had two +40 tapes for melee defense and put one on pants and one on a shirt, which looks like +80 you'd really only get +25. I'm not sure if the Professions window in the UI with skills list is reflecting the +25 cap or not, I have only tested it with Def V. Stun (which correctly caps on the UI at +25).

For dodge/counter/block/acuity: 2 things: I believe Natural skill in these categories on live were capped at 125 (anything over this is non-effective) but can be modded by another +25 by using tapes for an effective total of 150. At some point I believe they changed it so it was hard-capped at 125 regardless of tapes, but I'm not 100% sure of when.

It is my understanding that avoidance skills are limited to having equipped weapon type they come with. So Dodge=Pistols/Fencer only, Counter=Carbs/Swords, Block=Pike/Rifle and Acuity=TKA

If I recall, that Melee/Ranged Defense and Defense V. States are the defenses that don't account for the weapon you're using.

LS Should have it's own skilltapes unless I'm mistaken, If I am please someone correct me.

The only skill tapes that exist for Jedi and work that I'm aware of are..

Lightsaber Assembly
Lightsaber Experimentation

There was a time in live were Jedi tapes were a thing, however if I'm not mistaken it was during the CU. Things like +force power, +1h LS Acc, +force intim acc.

These are what I was remembering, I know it was later in the game, but wasn't sure when I remembered getting them other than that it was before NGE (Because that's when I stopped playing).
