Thanks for all the great info, I do have one question though. Crystals drop off for the most part NPC's not creatures, so what does a padawan do about getting new crystals withough getting on the terms?
grind out master doc + 2hand sword and go pwn some nightsisters on your alt. I've also managed to buy many off vendors for cheap. The key here is that the dev's say only about 20% of the player base comes to these boards, so odds are there are a lot of vendors that don't know the prices that things go for on these trade boards. But i suggest the sword + doc method, even my BH + TKM is good for collecting crystals too, but i like being able to buff myself while i hunt for them.
Oh, there are some padawans who do their own crystal hunting, they are usually in the MLS + range and go for like 180k on the BH terms, I mean at that point its ok to do your own crystal hunting if you dont mind BH's chasing you. At that level with some enhancer the nightsisters will drop like the harder nyax boys. I played a friend's account that has MLS and actively hunts nightsisters and he let me go kill a few, it was fun but I don't like having to watch my back that much just to get crystals and the swordsman + doc drops the sisters pretty good too.

That formula was also for the base attack and you did not take into account the delay mod for specials.
Normal attack = 1.0 delay
other attacks will be higher and thus slow your speed down, but the net gain in damage is usually worth it.
you are correct, I didn't want to pull the entire LS paragraph from the jedi board, just cite a simple example, but I've also worked out the math for every special I can do and have done alone the way, if I calculate it with the enhanced melee speed mod it tells me i should be swinging faster than I am. Oh, my background is in programming, I am a numbers geek

I plan on finally hitting Jedi as soon as phase three drops (and i finish my mission). Thank you so much for this easy to read resource. I found it very helpful. I would suggest getting all your posts together and updating your original with all the complete info though to even make it better. Other than that, thanks a lot for taking the time to spell this all out.

i'll put that together on my morning coffee break tomorrow. You are right, having it all together would be better, glad to know it helped you out.

Hey wicked I am a computer guy as well, but a Network Engineer.
Interesting on your tests, I will have to run my own as well.
cool, let me know if you find different numbers than me, i really want melee speed to matter but nothing i worked out proved that it did. It definitely helped me swing my pikes at cap when i was master pikeman gong through the village and i can't tell you how great it was for leveling fencer when i decided to grab that to take into jedi instead of pike. But when it comes to the saber, nothing...
