Thread: Dual Wield Saber Proposal

Well I got really bored in a dream last night, so I decided to dream something else up. Anybody have any ideas comments?


Dual Wield Proposal
-------------------
Available Only to Master Lightsaber, and only in the Master Lightsaber box.


Crafted like a regular saber, but you are actually crafting 2 lightsabers, 1 lightsaber will be the damage (main) lightsaber, while the other one will be just for looks. (It will only have the option for a color crystal and will have a damage modifier of +1 (to make coding easier).


When the Dual Wield Saber is in your inventory, it actually appears as two Lightsabers side by side as opposed to just showing one saber. On the Radial Menu you can right click and you will have the options
1. Equip
2. Examine
3. Open Main Saber (The Damage Saber)
4. Open Secondary Saber (The non damage Saber)
5. Destroy


Since the Dual Wield would only be available to the Master Box, the skill modifiers would have to be done 1 of two ways, evenly distribute dual wield mods throughout the Lightsaber skill tree, OR put them all in the Master Saber Box, including the actual crafting of the weapon.


Another idea, that could go in with the Master Saber Box, would be to have the jedi either A.) Level out another 3.2 mil to train the skill to use dual sabers, or B.) A Quest on Mustafar that you have to complete and be trained the skill by Obi-Wan, or at least given a schematic to craft the dual saber.


------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that Dual Wielding could be a super fun and very easily coded addition to the overall gameplay of a Master Saber Jedi. Anybody else have any thoughts?

sounds nice, i would like to use 2 lightsabers with 2 different colors. That would add more fun to the jedi game

I have often dreamed of dual sabers, it would be sweet. However I dont know if i like the idea of the 2nd saber doing no damage. Perhaps the 2nd saber could also be a damage dealer, but when you have 2 equipped your defenses drop substantially. I think that would be an effective way to offset the tremendous power you would have. Just a thought.

or maybe we can get some cyborg arms in addition to our normal appendages and weild like 6 sabers? and then we could use the spin attack with 4 of them?


actually that would be cool (the 2 saber idea, not the 6 saber one)

I'm dying for them to add dual wielding to the game, but from the devs' standpoint it probably needs to encompassmore than what you've outlined. They won't put in dual wielding just for jedi, it'll also be for master pistoleers (and possibly TKMs?). Pistoleers were asking for it long before any jedi players were. And while you and I (and probably many jedi) would be happy to dual-wield sabers "just for looks", the pistoleers really do want to wield two separate pistols and have all the advantages/disadvantages that would normally be associated with that style of combat (in most games it usually means higher speed (dps) and lower accuracy).


The crazy thing is that entertainers are the first dual wielders in the game.

I've always wanted two sabers for the look. I can care less if it do extra damage. I just want the look of swinging 2 sabers in combat with really cool animations. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better animation than a jedi swinging two sabers and that's why I like it. So for looks, I'm all for it.


As a damage dealer (whether defenses drop or not), I don't think that would make it in this game, especially if it was only for one profession for only one specific occasion. It would not only be a lot of extra coding, but it would introduce more /bugs than what we have now. I mean the devs can't even get the defenses and speed working right, why have them try and attempt to make dual weilding do damage with both sabers.

this is a great idea, and i have one to compliment tthis.

switch saber from 2h saber to double bladed saber, darth maul style during his first fight w/ obi won on tattooine his dble blade saber was a 2h , during the fight in the theed reactor room it was a dble bladed saber.

I think this also should be a master light sabers box as you would need mastery in both 2h and dble bladed saber skills, as well as saber-tech.

so i would run around w/ a 2h saber at which point i could ignite the other half and make it a dboule bladed saber for uberness. prolly have same stats and mods, and probably a warmup/cool down timer to ignite or retract the other blade, im saying this would be purely for show, but this added to the game and duel wielding saber abilities would give MLS something worth having even if its only for looks, cause damnit, monz would look sexy w/ two sabers

having 2 sabers i think should also drop defenses but also maybe we could slip in a saber based defense inthere at master level box, something less defense but compensated like -25 defense w/ two sabbers but +20 from additional saber defense so the net result would be a -5% defense reduction. And i think if you have 2 sabers you should have double accuracyand maybe a lil less speed since you gotta swing two glow bats -10 speed. imo

Well why don't they remove the saber tech branch and make it the dual saber branch? then move the LS experimental bonuses and what-not to each of the other boxes in the LS tree

if we had +saber crafting in each box a master light saber would have a lot of experimention points and this could compensate us in the short term cause most of us are post cu jedi w/ somewhat gimped sabers, mine bein 650 max and 404 mod. no tapes, servers best 44% station, weapons crafting droid bespine and pollyon all the way, pretty much as good as i get w/ crystals ranging from 88 to 107. funniest part about my saber is i looted that 107 post CU crystal at the corsair canyon it was a 700 condition poor crystal i was about to delete but i said what the hell lets tune it and sure enough its the best rock i got
