Thread: Is MLS REALLY worth it?
i am mls and no, its because of the pearl situation and post cu saber construction. a pre cu saber and any one teir 4 and last column 4 on sabers can out perform any mls hands down. Its a serious unbalance. When the frs comes back, if it comes back, we dont need to be yelling nerf pre cu sabers we need to say make post cu sabers more powerful. I have dueled pre cu guys that had ls 4xx4 and got out damaged and 4 to one on speed with much less costs.

I think the only two things its got going for it at the moment are the added accuracy and the ranged KD.
Once they fix the speed bug with sabers, MLS will be much better than in currently is.
The accuracy bonus it gives doesnt show up much unless your doing some pvp, and even then the accuracy bonus inst that much of a difference.
Advanced saberthrow is nice, giving you a ranged kd, and a hit thats as strong as headhit or leghit.
Pre-cu sabers are just bad allaround. They are the most unbalanced weapon in the game right now. I dumped all my pre-CU sabers becausethey werent any better than the ones i make now, becasue even before the cu i experimented only on efficancy rather than damage. However i do have it loaded with premium pearls, so it doesnt make much differance for me.
My advice is build a template for fighting, or a template for running away. You are bound to be good at one or the other after a while.

I would never give up MLS but I have a nice pre cu saber. With a saber over 700 max MLS is very nice to have. With a post cu saber with a max less than 600 I would worry more about def as you'll not be able to outdamage the older jedi. mdef/0404saber/3004enh/4000 heal would be nice.
Some of those SP could be moved around a bit but your gunna need force speed 2 for non MLSand force run 1 for when u use AI.

I believe so. The speed and accuracy alone make it worth it, but the ability to do a ranged nockdown is without paralell. That alone has saved me from many a bounty hunter. Drop them while on the run, and just keep running.
If not, take more defense and try to heal/tank instead killing

But it also means kiteing is going to be hard. You can only use one saber throw. And if you keep using Advanced Saber throw, you won't be able to plan a KD attack when you need it the most.
