Thread: can a post CU saber ever be better than the top pre-cu sabers?

So then why are people complaining? Is it just that they are too impatient to wait a few months to get premo's back to make the sabers have better stats? Do they just not take the time to learn to craft or get good resources?


I mean if you're getting that kind of stats post cu, I dont see why there are people complaining...

YES YES YES, SOE needs to stop and start balancing (making stronger).




I just hit a bunch of buttons and hope everything works out.

I think if you have a decent stockpile of pearls/crystals for tuning then you can get a very good result. With the best resources, buffs, foods, drinks, MLS and a suit you should definetaly be able to get a better base lightsaber than a pre-CU crafted one, it all comes down to pearls at this point.

Hi Medaus, can you confirm that weaponsmith buffs work for jedi?

I'm afraid I'm not sure, I haven't read much on the matter, sorry.

Last time I tried was Friday and the only thing that worked for jedi was an artisan buff to craft the lightsaber tool kit to 15.00.

Absolutely un true.


My guild all chipped in to assemble a saber craftting suit, maxed out saber experimentation as well as weapon experimentation just in case. We keep it in a special house for the whole guild to use.


I still have my pre CU saber, but I never use it. The post CU saber I built with the suit, the insp buff and experimentation ans assembly foods and the experimentation FS line completely blows the old one that I built with just MLS, experimentation foods and the experimentation FS line.



The only reason pre CU sabers are better is because of the pre CU pearls and crystals inside. And even then, it's still possible to get those great tunes off the low grade pearls and crystals, it's just not as likely. The other day, for example, I tuned somthing like 50 crystals and got a total of 2 good tunes out of it. but it's still possible.

Ihareo, what did you put your experimentation points into when you made your pre-cu saber(makes a big difference). And how did you get the weaponsmith buff to work when you crafted your post-cu saber cause it doesn't work for me?

Oh the weaponsmith bonus doesn't work, but we didn't know that at the time, and besides, you never know what the DEVs are going to do. Besides, it's alwase good for the weaponsmiths in the guild.



What I did was make a saber for each style of combat, and each color crystal. So I have a saber set for efficiency AND a saber set for damage. I use the Efficiency for long fights, such as grinding, and the Damage saber for things like boss and BH fights where the extra SAC and FC doesn't matter so much. I also have a saber for every elemental damage type.


That's 4 saber's total. Each with a different elementl damage type. All of the sabers are awsome. but only one has decent pearls

A lot of the bickering would end if everyone would pull their pearls out and THEN compare numbers.



When you state that one saber is beter please stae what about it is better.Is it damage,speed efficiency?



Othersie this turns into a giant saber piiiising contest.

Most people that made pre-cu sabers put most of there points into lowering fc. Some people made sabers that they put most of there points into damage/speed(speed caped easily pre-cu), but never really used them cause the fc was too high but kept them anyway. Now all pre-cu sabers when converted into the CU eventually got 100 SAC. So make a post-cu saber experiment to cap out damage and put the remaining points into speed and or effeciency. Now magically wave a wand and make the SAC 100. It's the people that kept these useless high damage pre-cu sabersin post-cu they became amazing cause of the 100 SAC. That is what people are upset about. As far as I know there are very few of these around because in pre-cu lowering fc ruled. The thing is the people that do have them have an amazing weapon(damage wise)with 4 perfect pearls. Post-cu sabers can get as low as 95 SAC but then your damage is lowered. And as far as I can tell for every 3 points of damage on my base saberI can do around 30 points of damage more when I hit(saber head hit). So if a pre-cu sabers base is 270 and post-cu is 250 your talking over 200 damage more a swing(saber head hit)with a difference of 5 SAC. Maybe they deserve it, that is under debate?

A 12pt post cu saber gets very close to a pre cu saber, check my stats against a friends both made with the same resources.

My sac was 2 lower, Damage 3 lower, speed 0.03 slower, with the new buffs im sure it will get better.
