Which saber type and why?

[Mondon]

Hi guys:D

 

I recently aquired my copy of TSL and have already played through it twice. Both times i have ended up using a single saber with a silver crystal.

 

I was just interested to hear which saber types (single hilt, duel hilts, double-bladed) you have decided to use with your characters and why?

[Xcom]

single hilt (viridian or cyan)

[Drazin]

Dual Wielding Single Hilts.

Red or Violet

 

Because you have the highest amount of upgrades this way.

Left hand for Deflections and Stat boosts, Right hand for Sheer Damage. 2 Attacks per round (Like a double-bladed) along with the added attack from Flurry and the 2 added attacks from Master speed = Mega Damage. Plus is just looks cool.

I totally agree, It truly is THE best build for a jedi. Althought I want a silver and red sabre becuase I've never seen a silver one

Welcome to the Forums Akimb0.

Silver is cool, but alot of times just looks like you are running around with a flourescent tube in your hand. Looks white not silver sometimes.

Still cool though.

[Akimb0]

Thanks for the welcome hm...maybe red/red as usual then hehe. I'll check the silver one out though, does sound nifty.

Single Hilt. Classic. Hey, it has the best stance while you wield it. You could have your other companions be dual wield or double bladed.

[Bubbles]

Conselar should always go single hilt, for defense. You won't be using it for damage anyway.

 

Sentinel should always go double saber or duel wield, to get the most benefits and deal the most damage.

 

Guardian can go either way, it depends on whether you want to be as defensive as possible, or gain the offensive boost.

I usually use two different hilts, the right hand will have Malak's model saber, thank you OE for leaving it in there, with a blue glow-green core blade. And in the left defensive hand we have the regular saber with a violet glow-red core saber.

I believe your sig should be as follows: Give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime.

I used a single cyan saber on my Light Side games, and single red saber for my Dark Side games;)

Consuler should dual wieled as well - more benefits. for going "duelist" with one saber you only recieve +3 defense.

Single hilt green color-Jedi Consular

[Lord_Malak]

I like using Double Bladed, blue crystal...But I'd like to try dual single hilt...

[Feagildin]

I like dual green for LS, dual red for DS. Though I did once use dual violet on LS.

[Juha Avery]

Since im in the grey side of the force i use grey jedi robe and silver single saber.

 

On dark side i use single red cause when some sith lord uses single saber it looks so fraightning.

 

On light side i use blue saber single.

[DigitalAvatar]

Dual lightsabers are almosts always my personal pick, although I also like single-hilt because it's purely classic style.

I fully agree with Drazin about the distribution of upgrade components in the 'sabers. Right for damage, left for deflection/regeneration/other boosts.

I usually like my dual 'sabers to be both the same colour, most often both yellow, or both blue. With a single-hilt, sticking with classic Jedi style, I pick Blue.

Dark Side play-throughs are rare for me, but when I do, naturally I pick red crystals.

First time through TSL I used a silver lightsaber, with yellow in the off-hand.

[Lord Stalin]

Single green/viridian until i get silver. Then red on the dark side. It varies though, I used purple thru out when i was playing as Mace Windu's ancestor.

Advantages of 2 Lightsabers vs 1 Lightsaber and 1 Short Lightsaber.

 

Discuss o.O

[Drazin]

I am not sure there are any.

With the 2 lightsabers you will have slightly better damage in your offhand, but the shortsaber would give you slightly better attack rating.

And with the 6 dual-wield feats of the Weaponmaster, you pretty much have no penalty anyway, so you may as well go with 2 lightsabers.

I dont really think the difference between the two types would be great enough to have a dramatic impact on your ability either way.

 

So my official statement is:

2 Lightsabers look better, thus they have the advantage.

 

Looks > Use

[Mav]

Looks > Use, LOL I completely agree, especially since this game is easy enough as it is.

[monkey joe]

I had a two red/short bronze

 

 

 

 

The bronze was Freedon Nadd's short lightsabre

 

[Sam Fisher]

I think I had: primary= green (using "my" crystal, as well as that one sapphire, ( forgot the name, but it also does HP regen not to mention stat bonus') and my off hand was blue with the same sapphire and jenruox(sp?) or the ultima one.

 

(<----needs to remember the names bad )

[Bubbles]

Bubbles, Light Watchman ~ Silver with Ultima in primary, Blue Short with blaster deflection in seconday.

Darth Bubbles, Dark Sith Lord ~ Red in primary with Katha.

With the fast weapon-swapping capabilities in TSL, I've started using a dual setup:

 

Dual lightsabers (one regular and one short) with crystals and enhancements focused on more damage, higher attack rating and better crit-chance

 

Double-bladed lightsaber with crystals and enhancements focused on higher defense and blaster deflection

 

Works nicely I could've gone for a similar setup using dual sabers in both, but I sort of like the look of the double-bladed one, and the dual-wield feats apply both to dual weapons and dual-bladed weapons it works nicely. Colours vary, but on lightside I tend to use blue, violet or green (I think blue right hand and violet left hand is my favourite), and as darkside, red obviously (can't go any other way as a dark jedi ). I always go Jedi Guardian on my main character, because fast-action lightsaber fights are such a great thing to watch. Two sabers, master force speed and master flurry gives some really nice visuals

 

And I agree with "looks > use", or as i call it, style over substance. Always

[Sam Fisher]

Besides, color is just for show ^^

 

I use the colors to organize my sabers for quick reference
