Thread: Why dont our sabers compare to elite weapons?
Aalob Alarios I would also like to see there being a difference between the sabers again, as it was Pre CU. I would like to see the SAC adjusted accordingly, for example;
1 handed Lightsaber, should have a SAC around the same SAC asa pistol, after all they are both one handed weapons/lightweight. This would also be the fastest lightsaber
2 handed Lightsaber, should have a SAC around the same as that of a carbine, the weapon is larger and requires more physical effort to use. This would be marginally slower than the one handed saber, but would deal more damage.
Double Bladed Lightsaber, should have a SAC similar to that of the current ones, for example 96. It is the largest of the three types and therefore uses the most action, but in turn it would also deal more damage while being the slowest of the three.
As it currently stands there is no real benefit to using any of the three, and as I see it there are still lots of Double Bladed Saber users out there, including myself. I used to use a 1 handed saber, however, I looted some good DB LS accuracy and speed tapes and so went back to using one.
What's sad is a lot of Jedi are worse off than I am and people wonder why Jedi don't want to fight. My F-FWG5 has nearly the same minimum damage, my rifle more. You would think that tuning Quality andPremiums mostly I would have gotten a better saber, but no. This -expletive- system guarantees if you're not a powergrinder you're -expletive-.

Yeah, but I'm Pre-CU as well and my max is 575
To you and the BH above, I've tuned over 300 crystals and pearls, and your min damage still beats my max
What a -expletive- system.

it is not all about max dmg look on min dmg and see that most wepons dont have alot more there
again my rifle is 670 - 690 min depending on the stats on the powerup, 82 sac, kinetic damage, 1.33 mod speed, also 1350 - 1370 max depending on pu
my saber has min dmg 629 so as you see it is no hugh diffrens and mine is not capped either i miss about 17 dmg
yea i am very lucky i have my saber but i have worked very hard to get the pearls
i hunted 4-5 weeks pre cu 3-8 hours a day just to get prems and i got around 5-60 prem and alot of quality
Successful: 2

I dont want jedi to be uber my any means, I would just like to have comparable dmg to other professions. Truthfully, since there are so manyjedi now I dont think we should have an advantage over any other profession at all. However I do believe that jedi masters should. Also, there needs to be a cap on jedi masters so we dont have 1k of them running around. Jedi knight should be trial based. Any hire should be voted on for the light and pvped for the dark jedi.

if the prems start drop again then i am sure your dmg on your saber is enought sure i would like 1-200more dmg but i think it might get unbalanced then but some extra dmg on the hilt like 50-100dmg and prems and flawless dropps again it would solve mostly

Sorry you can't do that. You can not just "add" elemental damage to your min/max. It's completely different. Look at the combat spam. You'll notice something, elemental damage does not scale with specials.
Back when I used to play my Jedi constantly I would see maybe 100 extra damage from elemental.
i know it is not added it do dmg by it self but it is still about the same
Fought a BH yesterday, AB stuck...used powerhit adn my best damage against him was 678. I am MLS with 698 max damage saber.

about the same as what? I can tell you if I had a saber that was 846-934 you'd have some people crying. You would be able to get 2k hits for sure with a saber like that.
