Best Lightsaber

[Darth_Nihlus]

1st choice: single, traditional, manouverable, powerful

2nd choice: double bladed, good for taking on multiple opponents

 

i DON"T like two because how do you use the force if your hand is wrapped around a lightsaber? the animations for two lightsabers using the force is wierd. i prefer my single bladed (maybe with an extra blade that can come out the bottom like Exsr's)

[vaxen83]

If character was using single saber and took dueling feats that give attack bonus to singe weapon attacks, bonus is also added to unarmed attacks with Handmaidens and Mandalorians. (Apart from gaining +3 to defence with same feats).

 

Can also help with reducing penalty to defence from using Critical Strike as combat feat.

I dunno Secura uses duel wielding, so its probley considered Cannon as for the praticbility its huge you can saber throw one and still have a light sabeer to defend your self with ^^

[Gecon]

Well, if you go for

 

- single long lightsaber

- long and short lightsaber

- dual lightsaber

 

does NOT depend upon "good" and "bad".

 

- single long lightsaber is good if you don't want to concentrate on lightsaber useage at all. And Kreia can only use that variant of a lightsaber anyway.

 

- long and short lightsaber, well in KotoR2 specifically one has the problem of getting any short lightsaber in the first place. The second problem is of course getting propper updates for both lightsabers. Otherwise this is the configuration of choice for anyone who does a strength focussed Jedi with Critical Strike. With focussing on Strength, the Stun ability of Critical Strike becomes much more effective. And with Critical Strike, you potentially can do more damage than anyone else, if, and only if, you are working on maximizing your Strength.

 

- with KotoR2, long and short lightsabers, preferably keen, are ALSO a good option for people going for Power Attack, because they get a crit on 19 and 20 (or even 17 to 20 when keen), because the lightsaber then does 3x damage.

 

- dual lightsabers for anyone else, for best guaranteed damage, and lowest cost in respect to resources.

Lightsaber and Shortsaber combo. Both with pontite lenses, Superior Fencing

Emitters and Ultimate Diatium Energy Cells. (10-40 dam and 10-38 dam resp.)

 

Crystals: Lightsaber - Double Barab Ore (using upgrade exploit) and Kaiburr

Shortsaber - Exile's Crystal and either Double Pontite or Double Hurrikaine.

 

+4-24 fire dam, and either +2-20 cold dam or +2-16 unstoppable, +5 LS/DS, ow!

 

The ultimate uber sabers... Mwahahahahaha

 

If being good and not exploiting the games flaws (like any good sith lord would)

then simply remove the double from the crystals...

 

+2-16 fire dam, and either +1-10 cold dam or +1-8 unstoppable, +5 LS/DS.

 

Add Master Flurry, Master Force Speed, Paralyse and Sneak Attack, with plenty

of strength enhancing goodies and what do you get... around 300+ damage,

in one turn of combat, may your poor, hapless, enemies rest... in... peace...

 

Laterz...

10-40 and 10-38?? Wow both of my lightsabers are at 15-43, and that's not even modifying them all the way, and the damage is actually for one of them is 21-49, and the other is 26-54.

[Dam13n]

The first damage statements were pre crystals!!!

 

If you work it out Lightsaber - 14-64, and Shortsaber - 17-63

 

And I didn't add in the strength bonuses!!!

[daronlarth]

Without the crystals, I think mine would be a LITTLE lower than that, but not very much.

I go through the Dark Jedi with one slash, maybe 2 at the most.

[Diego Varen]

Lightsaber for me, since it is the classic Lightsaber and it looks less clumsy.

You got me as far as max amount able to deal, but my lightsabers can't do less than 21.

[Dam13n]

It comes down to personal preference, I like the

variability aspect, as I'm ever optimistic, though with

strength bonuses I would estimate that my lowest damage

would be about 20-25, depends on my items.

 

(although I have to say the lowest these sabers usually get

is around the 40 mark, and they don't go that cough:low:cough

very often) :joy:

 

In way of contrast the saber I give to kreia is completely different

Ossus Dueling Lens, Superior Deflection Emitter and Superior

Telegorn Jolt Cell with Jenraux and Lorrdian crystals, for uber

deflection, to keep her alive and casting force powers, to further

boost my exiles killing abilities.

 

Laterz...

[daronlarth]

Lol I don't care too much for Kreia. She's a "meatbag" and I don't ever use her unless they force(no pun intended) me to. Besides, she's not really that useful to me with only one hand. Now Mandalore on the other hand,(once again, no pun intended) give him two really good blades, and he's a killing machine.

[Dam13n]

There are parts of the game where kreia is useful, although I

agree she is a meatbag and I don't use her often.

 

You kind of have to take her on the mission to the onderon

palace, where you face rank upon rank of cannon fodder, having

kreia on jedi support is very useful, and most of the enemies have

blasters - hence the deflection being useful.

 

I prefer Mira/Handmaiden/Hanharr + Atton/Bao-Dur/Mandalore,

depending on the mission and my alignment. DS with Mandalore

and Hanharr is just awesome! They are sooo vicious!

 

A little off topic, cough:sorry:cough, god I hate that word... No

true sith would ever use it given the choice...

Two Single Blades...Most crystals and most upgrades, if you have 2 weapon fighting, then the attack damage will raise dramatically and less chance to miss

I agree, but only on KOTOR. On TSL, it lacks Lightsabers, which annoys me.

Well, I'll put it for you my old friend. TSL lacks Lightsabers compared to KOTOR. It was very easy to find a Lightsaber of any kind in KOTOR, while in TSL, it was impossible to have more than about four Lightsabers in TSL, since:

 

1. Your PC's Lightsaber

2. Vash's Corpse

3. Vogga's Storehouse

4. Random location.

Eh, strange...I'll check my savegame to see how many lightsabers I have...

 

Yeah, you were right. Seven Lightsabers in my account, and let me count...Mira: 2, Visas: 1, Bao-Dur, 2, Kriea, 1, I, 2, Atton, 1, But it's still too few constrast to K1.
