Green or Purple or Bronze. (That bronze color really was quite nice. Shame they had to bork it up and make it yellow.)

If the special crystals didn't do the extra 5% elemental damage and so that all the colors has the same amount of elemental damage then: What color would you use?
I am curious as I asked around in my guild and I got some interesting responses, so I figured I would ask here as well.
Also would you be willing to sacrifice the extra 5% elemental damage and have the special crystal do the same amount as the regular ones so that you could use any color you wanted?
In answer to my own question i'd go first.
Light Green and yes, I would give up the extra 5% if it meant I would have the same advantage as a person with Sunriders or Banes.
(Yes, I am aware that there are a lot more pressing issues that requires attention, but this is just as valid from a role players point of view)

If I remember correctly Sunrider's and Bane's adds 30% elemental. My saber is 705 max damage with 211 elemental and I use Bane's. If you do the math that is 30%. In that regard they are the way to go. If they all were the same I would choose dark purple. I used it through the noob days....since Pub 9 when I got jedi.

I only use Dark Green. They can take their 5% and insert it anally because I am not using a powder blue or pink saber.

aye, the regular crystals are 25% and the special ones are 30% (that is why I asked if you'd give up that 5% and have all crystals only do 25% rather than some doing 30%)

I know but my saber elemental went from 176 to 211.I considered that a big enough jump to make a major difference.

Actually, if they fixed the colors so that they actually looked orange, brown, etc, then I think a LOT of people would give up their banes & sunriders and the 5% bonus.

In pve, I still use my dark green b/c it makes me more unique then all the other jedi I roll with.
Btw LinkyTriforce, I love your saber color mod, it owns.....although I wouldn't ever use it, its against the EULA *cough*

I think you guys should check again. the elemental damage for sunriders is around 160 and banes heart is 211. they aren't the same

You should check again, b/c they are the same.

Where are you getting this from?
They are the same. They both add 30% of max damage to your saber as ED.
Regular add 25% of max damage to your saber.
I would not give up the extra 5%, but would rather have the other colors brought up to the 30% if they are to be the same.
Of the colors available I would use Dark Blue, Dark Red, or Dark Green
I like to switch because I get bored with one color after awhile.
I would use some of the other social colors preferably if they were in the game.
