Modding Jedi Master Luke

When the game uses the term base stats, it means after mods but before in-game effects. It's confusing because prior to that term being prevalent in game text with JKL, people on the forums had used it to describe pre-mod to illustrate that percent-based mods don't compound off of other mods. But for JML, "base" definitely means after mods as he enters the battle.

When I unlocked him, I posted a picture for my guild on Discord with the caption, "Here he is in all his curmudgeonly glory."

If you use him at lower and higher protection you can see that the damage does go up with higher protection.

I agree with you ... base protection is (should be?) prior to adding mod effects, so the protection mods should not affect the true damage from Inherited Teachings. But JML is a tank, so maybe they are all stacking protection on him to soak damage.

I have mine modded with a speed and health set - Focused on protection, speed and offense. I had a blunder some weeks back where I accidentally sold all my mods so I'm trying to do the best I can with what I can buy and what I already have. At first I went all health focusing on protection but I was too slow to compete with the other GL's so I changed it up and went with a speed set.

I think they (maybe Doja?) explained it last year that base protection is the protection value at the start of battle, before any abilities’ effects are applied. So that would include modded protection. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think TVF is right.

If you run him as a leader, speed is key to defeat JKR lead. You have the speed advantage thanks to your leader ability but you absolutely need to go first. JML's lead is interesting because you'll win against JKR's lead 100% of the time as long as you go first and know your opening moves , you'll give a harder time to Rey and you'll enjoy ultimate goodness, which you don't really need but is always fun to use.

Potency is a very good option; you want his debuffs to stick.

About primaries: Protection is more offensive (teachings) Health is more defensive. Crit damage triangle can produce some impressive Efflux, especially paired with Grand Master Training from Hyoda and Jedi's will from your younger self.

All right. I can increase his protection by almost 30k and only lose 2 speed. Thanks, everybody. His health takes an 18k hit, but that seems to be a fair trade.
