most damaging lightsaber

[Sorapis]

uhh i was just wondering why i can make a vibro lance 7-52 damage and the best lightsaber is like 7-39 i have 99 in all my stats so i dont know what im doing wrong can anyone help?

Hmm, been a while since I played, but yes, some crystal/lens variations yeild very high results. I wish I could give you some specifics, but I'm a little out of touch in this matter, sorry.

[Marka Ragnos]

well, I guess a telgorn jolt cell 3, pontite lens, fencing emitter, barab ore ingot, and personal crystal would be best. but it also depends on your character.

Ankerres Sapphire and Kai-bur crystals with ultimate diadum cells and adegan lens would be another option. Upari and opila crystals will do also.

thanks for the info

[Benjamin Korr]

Oh yeah, and the Pontite crystal is pretty nifty as well.

[mr_raider]

Pontite lens, ultimate datium cell, expert fencing emitter + your two best damage crystals.

 

Your personal crystal is NOT a good damage crystal, since much of the damage is alignment specific and not multiplied on criticals. It is better as an off hand crystal.

 

Barab Ore Ingot and Pontite would be my choices, but if you can't find them, SIgile+Upari, Solari+Upari or Upari+Quixonite are good choices.

Lightsaber forms like Contention add to attack mods against Jedi/Sith wielding lightsabers also, which will increase your hits with saber weapons.

Do Melee weapon specialization feats add anything to lightsaber damage?

[DeathScepter]

no they don't add.

[Purgatorio]

Why the hell not!

Lightsabers are melee,are they not held in the hand and used to bash thine enemy?

Well thank you anyway DeathScepter,now I won't waste a feat.

[Marka Ragnos]

you don't bash enemies with a lightsaber! You cut them to ribbons!

[Purgatorio]

I was referring to something from Orlando Finto Pazzo.Is smiting better?

Ribbons.... I am not really one for interior decoration.I prefer the direct approach of chopping the top off the egg after bashing it,rather than making an omelet then cutting it to shreds and adding it to the stir fry.Though it probably would be better than making a sith into a sandwich.....

But that's not the point,I wanted to know why the melee specialization feat does not add to lightsaber damage.

Because you use Lightsaber specialization for lightsabers instead of melee specialization...

I know tis is a little off topic, but what the hell is a vibrolance?Is it a force pike?

Name Crystal (up to 5, plus up to 3.5 more for the STR bonus)

Synthesized Bryothis Lens (1)

Beam Gem Lens (1)

Dragite Lens (2)

Pure Bryothis Lens (2)

Improved Beam Lens (2)

Enhanced Bryothis Lens (4)

Vibration Lens (4.5)

Improved Vibration Lens (7) (but is -1 to attack and defense)

Pontite Lens (7)

Fencing Emitter (1)

Improved Fencing Emitter (2)

Expert Fencing Emitter (3)

Diatum Energy Cell (1)

Ultimate Diatum Energy Cell (5)

Telgorn Jolt Mk III Energy Cell (4.5)

 

So, for max average damage: Double Lightsaber+Name Crystal+Barab Ore Crystal+Pontite Lens+Expert Fencing Emitter+Ultimate Diatum Energy Cell=13+8.5+9+7+3+5=46 (or 18.5-73.5).

 

This is one area where dual wielding comes in handy ... put your name crystal in your off-hand saber, you get the most damage with your primary saber (up to 15-66) and all the benefits from the crystal (including more bonus damage from the pumped up strength).

Aggression form for lightsabers extends critical threat range of sabers, with penalties to blaster fire deflection. (Probably will get it as a Marauder, Assassin, Weapon Master or Watchman)
