Handmaiden suggestion

[Angry Sherpa]

I just turned her into a Jedi and I'm leveling her up. I was just wondering if she's best unarmed or equipped with a lightsaber.

It's been both ways for me - I just check the damage done either way and go with whichever has the pretty higher numbers.

She has the Echani Strike and Unarmed Master, but I'm not sure I want to pass up the benefits she could get from dual sabers.

I found if you left the Handmaiden unarmed and activated knight speed she did some pretty heavy damage.

Unless you put good crystals in the saber she'll use, lightsabers would be better (I still go by the damage numbers though). Problem is that usually all the best crystals are in your saber :D

 

Also, doesn't Melee do physical damage?

 

So my two configs when using her were Blaster Rifle (cos Dueling also helped Melee) and then normal Unarmed Melee. But I also gave her the Force Deflection thing since she wasn't going to use a saber.

Dueling doesn't help with rifles. It only helps when using one single handed weapon or using unarmed.
