Favorite Saber Styles

[Benjamin Korr]

Boy tough call. I voted for Soresu, I used it alot because of its awesome blaster defence, but I am also very very fond of Makashi, and Niman. Juyo is nice sometimes too, but I wouldnt say its my favorite. And Ataru can fall of the face of the galaxy as far as I'm concerned, cant stand that form.

[Sturm]

who cares force powers pwn sabers anyways

[Xard]

Meh, force powers in kotor's are just spamming. Run-storm-storm-run etc. That is why I dont play consulars much. And in k2 Guardians a lot of fp too

[Sturm]

not as much as consular + sith lord best combination for FP

[Xard]

Yeah, but I like saber combat more.

 

Back to the topic anyway

[Das 3ntchen]

i dnt rly care becse im jedi master and use force froms but i think yuyo is the best

[DeathScepter]

you mean Juyo

[Dark Lord Shawn]

I like shien.

[Jedi Brute]

I only use one, to make the game a bit more of a challenge. As soon as I am trained in them obviously.

 

Jedi WM/ Sith M : Juyo

Jedi W/ Sith A : Shien

Jedi M/ Sith L : Shii-Cho

 

I dunno why I do these, but I do.

[Sturm]

hmm, ill try them

[DarthMalak]

hi can u use the form juan or not cos it is cool!

[DarthReliguim]

DjemSo, Ataru,Makashi and Juyo are the best

[vaxen83]

Ataru works well, especially as either a Marauder/Weapon Master. Would usually use Determination for Jedi Master/Sith Lord.

 

However, against Jedi/Sith with sabers, Contention helps quite a bit.

 

Generally like Contention and Ataru.

makashi :D !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Unabomber]

Depends on the style of character. For example:

 

Critical hit specialists: I'll use Shien, simply because you get a very nice boost to the damage you do on a critical strike (3X instead of 2X), and if you have master critical strike, you're going to do the most damage. Ataru or Juyo will increase your chances of making a critical hit, but that's really not too significant if you have master critical strike.

[JediKnight72]

I never really bothered much. i only used the ones for lightsaber and lazer blasts

[vaxen83]

Would use Determination if unable to think of other forms for saber fighting.

[Ferr.M]

I'd say Makashi is my favorite form... I only ever got Shii-Cho, Makashi, and Soresu...

[GreyJedi]

Niman in my opinion is the best style. It has no weaknesses and no strengths bringing balance. Most people will say juyo because of the additional attack, but you sacrifice 4 defense and have a -4 to force saves. Niman is overlooked because most people see the +1 to everything not that great, but instead of lowering one of your areas like blaster deflection or force saves you gain a little in every area. The only downside to using Niman is that you don't excell in any particular area. Niman is for skilled players only because most noobs will need the extra attack or lightsaber damage to get them through the game, but using Niman the entire game efficiently is a challenge and in my opinion the most rewarding.

[Enha_Dyone]

Shii sho, simpliest and usefullest technic...:D

[Ferr.M]

My lightsaber form depends on which position I'm in.

 

If I am surrounded by people with blasters then I use Soresu, if dark jedi or just random bad guys are around me then I use Makashi, and so on and so on.

 

But again, Makashi is my favorite.

[darth maddison]

I use which is best at the momment in the game.

[Krookie]

Never changed it. Honostly. I never really thought I had too.

[Purgatorio]

Niman in my opinion is the best style. It has no weaknesses and no strengths bringing balance.

Technically I would have to agree...but I have never got Niman form in a play through, that I know of so it is probably a consular form.

[DeathScepter]

Sentinel, Jedi Watchman, and Sith Assasins will get this form.

 

 

Niman is a good form to use.
