Here's something to consider, your damage dealt is a don't care to you when grinding with a group. All you need is 1 hit to get the xp. It does matter to the group, but not to you. With that in mind, go with a low FC saber (2nd/3rd gen) so you don't have to waste force and timechanneling all the time. As you advance and your force pool goes up, you migth want to switch to a 4th gen to help the group damage the mobs more. When I started out, I focused on applying armor break and saber swipe (knock down) to the mobs with my 2nd gen FC 7 saber. Both of these allow the rest of the group to kill the mobs faster, so I am helping the group, even though I am not the primary damage dealer. I also used to be the puller once I had saber throw. I still end up pulling a lot when not spinning. But even know with my current 4th gen saber I am often not the highest damage dealer, and rarely hold the agg, which is not such a bad thing. But, I can stand toe to toe with 2-3 level 82 pickets now and not die and I can kill them in a reasonable amount of time by myself when I have to (like when everyone else is running away case some dummy did an area attack on the entire spawn lol).

Good Luck,
