LORlargeB, who are you addressing in your neeless repeated posts? Is there any need of posting over and over again with useless flames? Do you always find it necessary to agree with yourself? Try taking the time to sit and organize your thoughts before clicking on that "submit post" button.
If you were referring to my post then let me answer. No, I am not a full temp yet. However, the only advantage I will get out of the next skills I will be getting is more defense and a bigger force bar. As far as damage is concerned I am currently pretty well capped with what I have. My saber has the best crystals I own in it. I crafted it while wearing a lightsaber experimentation suit. I used food buffs to boost my crafting bonuses. I used near 1000 quality resources on all components of my lightsaber. I crafted three or four lightsabers, putting the experimentation points in different slots until I got the best saber I can craft. The problem with my saber is the crystals.
If my lightsaber could do more damage I wouldn't have a problem, however, when fighting upper level Nightsisters and Krayts, the health regen is better than my damage. That being said, I am able to kill the Nightsister outcasts (level 78). I killed a few today without any luck but I will try again. When I am fighting higher level Nightsisters and Krayts my problem isn't defense. I could stand there bashing on them for hours but it will get me no where.
So if we return to the main topic, there is a problem with Post Combat Upgrade lightsabers. If this is working as intended then there is a problem. There is no way anyone with a lightsaber like mine (and a lot of people have worse) can fight a Bounty Hunter and win. Getting a crystal is a task in itself and having it tune decently is extremely rare.
On another note, look at what the "crystal nerf" has done to the economy of the game. Crystals on my server are running for insane amounts of money. The last time I checked good crystals were a million each. I suppose if I had 500 million credits I could get enough good tunes out of it to have a decent saber but I doubt i'll ever have that much.
I tried to put my saber through a door the other day like Qui Gon in Episode I but it cracked the blade

Can anyone answer how come there were flawless pearls on the blue frog on test center 2, but the Dev's will not put them back in the game for Jedi. You would think if they are on test center, they could be easily reintroduced to the live servers. What are you thoughts on this?

basically IF flawless pearls started to drop from dragons that can be killed as easilly as we can kill them now - then the server would flood with them very quickly. the dev plan is to make them rare and to do that they first need to prevent people from "farming" krayts so that the pearls have true rarity rather than becomeing dsomething everyone can get

Simply becouse they have this idea that jedi would become too powerful if weall would havea decent weapon in place of a flashlight.

correct but the current loot system doesnt accomodate this..
a CLxx dragon will always drop pearls of xxxx quality
so if the devs adjusted it to make ancients krayts drop flawless pearls people would just head out to farm them...
to fix the issue the entire npc difficulty needs to be adjusted (something coming in patch 24) and the loot system modified

Guys, i have a full template with MLS, Enh 3404, healer 4000, and defender 2040 and you know what type of krayt i can solo ? Ancient ? ...nope, Gaint ?? ...nope, Regular ??? ...nope, Juvi ?!?!!...yea... i can solo an juvi krayt 
my saber is dmg 619 which isn't bad for post-cu sabersand i cant even solo a krayt that could drop a pearl at all. Pre-cu jedi knights could solo ancients and get many flawless per day but now... i cant even give the bread crums off the krayt table... and there are worse off jedi then me with 500 dmg sabers... But the truth here is that jedi make sabers that give us about 240-250 dmg base with 4 pearls that can range from 0-120 dmg so even if we did tune a billion flawless to getfour120 dmg pearls then after all that work we'd only have a 720-730 saber which is about theBEST post-cu saber but yet the USUAL gun is 1000 or over... so give us back our pearls atleast

yep - solo you cant - but in a group of 6+ you can kill an ancient inside of 1 min......
also max damage is a poor reference for weapons when your looking at high end pve and pvp - the min damage + elementalis much better stat for comparing weapons

have them drop from ancients only.
limit the number of ancients that RANDOMLY appear anywhere in the places dragons appear now. nothing drops from the ancient that sits at the end of the krayt graveyard.
make the drops random too...not every kill gets a pearl.
this is existing code now....there is no reason it could not be in the game tomorrow.
