I've been search for anyone who has done some testing and has some real data on the matter...but is MLS REALLY worth it? Or should I just get MLS, make good sabers, then respec away from it? (Yeah I saved my respec token!) Thoughts? Ideas? Point me in the right direct to some other threads?

I wouldnt waste the respec. Its not that bad to grind up enough xp to get to Master LS and get back to ur origional template if your just looking to get an extra 30 dps on your saber.


I actually am in the middle of grinding up xp to go to MLS just to make a couple of better sabers then coming back to the template that I know and love.

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.

the only good thing about mls is group grinding using dervish, which should not be a master level box skill. dervish is way underpowered, hits for about 400 and costs an insane amount of ham and force. mls is pretty much a joke now because of soe programming. every other combat proffesion has an uber shot that can almost incap a jedi in one shot, we have a crap shot thats not even good in the game for pvp. That needs to be addressed.

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.


So sadly, what holds true in life, is also truea long time ago, ina gallaxy far far away: "Its not you, honey, your saber just isnt satisfying me anymore". And apparently being a dancer didnt help then either.

The pearl situation is pure BS. You will be owned by pre cu players and you can't make a saber worth a damm. The are doing this as population control. I'm sure good pearls will pop up after they see people getting away fro the MD MLS combo.

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 you have a good saber, then go MLS, you'll be a killer, maximum offense.
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.

i can say yes, especially if you have a acrappy saber.

if you have a good one like me, combin it with force speed 2 and its deadly agaisnt most bh/cm,

dervish is lovely for PVE

saber trow, is a high damagin 32m kd

and you can make sabers alittle better and efficient


the speed and acuracy are a big plus
