The original concept of Jedi knights back in the 70's wore armour. It's nice too see someone else exploring the use of heavy armour. I was wondering if anyone else has found a build that doesn't rely on these powers but is still focused on physical attacks. I am curious to hear if anyone else has tried it this way and what they thought.ДЄll my builds prior to this have been heavily reliant on Force Speed, and to a lesser extent every power that goes into Force Enlightenment, while such builds are extremely powerful they're a little boring. So while it was fun to see how it worked I probably wouldn't bother with it again (it actually worked very well for the Handmaiden and Bao-Dur though). I got nothing from that assault armor that I couldn't also have with the special force sensitive armors other than 7 or so ac points (I wound up with a Dex of 14 or so but assault armor has a 0 dex bonus), which would have been more than made up for by access to the various powers. Overall the armored build seems superfluous, especially with the armor that doesn't restrict force powers. Though one thing that came as a pleasant surprise was that even though I was wearing heavy armor when Kreia used buffs like force speed they still applied to me. But as time went on and I got deeper into the game I became more and more vulnerable to every enemy I was facing, my ac capped out at 39 (with no buffs to help) and the amount of damage being done was exceeding the defenses offered by energy resistance and barrier, I found myself using heal after every fight (ended with over 400 hp, they were hitting me but not hurting me very quickly). Early game this setup made my character a tank, no enemy that managed to even hit me really managed to hurt me, made my rather slower attacks more acceptable. I only chose force powers that were usable in heavy armor, my go-to powers being energy resistance and barrier. I spent 2 feats to get the heavy armor proficiency (was a sentinel base) and stuck with the Mandalorian Assault armor as soon as I found it. It worked fairly well, I focused on strength (wound up with more than 40, +17 modifier after all items and bonuses were counted), but also wound up with 20+ in constitution and wisdom before the end (again with items). I also tried an armored character for the first time since my disastrous first attempts in KotOR 1, figuring that I now knew enough to make it work. I also tried a number of other 'new' things, like seeing if the skill based characters could stay on par with the other characters if they had enough components (something the RCM finally let me test), turns out they can. ago), first time through with the RCM (Kudos btw, can't believe I took as long as I did). I just finished another playthrough of this game (literally 15 mins.
