Question for clarity. Would Energetic Shell be the Jedi taking the combined damage of 5 troopers, including whatever targets them? My concern is that even with the 80% damage reduction this may be too situational to use. Right now, I use the ability often on my Jedi and have been involved in almost every event in the last month or so. It definitely needs work and the concept here feels like a natural progression of the ability. I feel like most events are main server, where there are tons of droids in close proximity. Naturally, I'd imagine this would be used to front-line or tank blaster fire, but could a 900 HP + Armor sentinel survivor use the ability?
To be clear I'm +1ing this because overall I think these are all great suggestions! If the Energetic Shell ability has been tested or the numbers look good enough, then I'm for it. If not, then I'd like to see the ability be 80% damage reduction and also shield more than just the Jedi, but also a small wall of a few meters next to them.
