Saber Throw in duels?

[Lightsaberboy]

What's your opinion on saber throwing in duels?

[MysticSpade]

i personally don't like it in duels. even if i can use it i refrain from doin so.

Vader used it in his duel with Luke. I don't care either way, just as long as they don't add healing because then it'd turn into one of those never ending DBZ fights.

[Toa Tahu]

Well I also don't like it,best for duels is to disable:

Heal

Protect

Lightning

Grip

Saber Throw

Deep cliffs

 

Now that is what I call a good duel.

[MysticSpade]

i mainly use saber only and only Jump servers

It's Canon...

Saber throw is canon? Why because Vader threw his saber ONCE to get Luke down from a catwalk? You think he used it as a primary attack as it is being used in this game? Especially with the throw, then pull exploit so that it's a guaranteed hit everytime? Sorry, but Vader used it to get Luke down off the catwalk, not as a primary attack to kill him with.

I dont really mind it... but i dont play duels

 

Glowstick bashing is not my style

[Haseco]

saber throwing in a duel is contradicting the whole idea of one on one combat...in this situation they might as well consider the saber throw as a projectile weapon...theres all the same concepts surrounding it.

I think I'll change my answer. I was in a duel earlier where this guy kept spamming throw and it got annoying.

[Luc Solar]

I think it's "unrealstic". You should lose your saber 70% of the time. (Like...try throwing your saber at Tavion in SP.)

 

I does too much damage compared to normal swings and hits more effectively (especially if used in combination with pull).

 

Spamming anything is lame --> Spamming throw (or the Bryar) is lame.

 

There is a reason why so many duel servers have throw disabled.

 

I want a duel to be fast and furious, not a throw-contest.

 

It seems that often when you get a good hit in, the opponent turns into a chicken. Every time you swing, he/she throws and backs up. Very frustrating. Personally I hate tossers.

 

On the other hand - why should someone stop spamming just because I don't like it? It's my problem, not theirs. But since the thread-starter asked for opinions, this is mine:

 

Spamming saber throw in (NF)duels = a boring duel.

[Haseco]

right on

[FK|FallenOne]

I was on a server yesterday. If you're against saber throw, do NOT join the SF|Sanguis Frater duel server. It's ip is 66.150.29.215:27020

First off it's full force, which I don't mind, but not one saber swing was made. Not one. Each and every "duel" consisted of who could pull-kick-throw the best. Not one normal saber swing/move. It was quite annoying.

Blueyonder has two duel servers. Saber only and the only forces which you can spend points on are Saber Attack / Saber Defend / Jump.

 

They're pretty much the most popular duel servers in the UK.

 

Think that answers the question.
