This is just my reason but I'm goning to share it with you anyways.


If we got lightsaber damage back that went through alldefenses and armor.What it wouldn't go through is innate armor, some foods, and shield generators. We could also get rid of the armor break attack from lightsaber and that could set balance between saber x4x4 from the other sabers, that would give more different templates. Last it would not force people to use the banes heart and sunrider's dysteny crystal, we could actually see more colors.


This could give us an edge against the BHs too but i dont know so...

Its actually fine as it is.

LS damage caused more animosity and honestly didnt give us much benefit, roughly 50% energy recon and the ability to armour break and extra elemental damage compared to ls damage where you have ADK'ed 60% ls resist PSG's.

Current system > old system.

The thing is, shield generators don't stop that much anymore.

You cannot replace 1 without the other.

How can you say that its fine when all a bh has to do is get it ab sliced. That cuts a minimum of 33% of our sabers efficiency off the top. You bh have to quit coming here and posing as jedi. No other weapon is even close to the design of a light saber but you think its alright to lump it into an existing catagory. Thats just a lazy programmer who dont want to be bothered with actually doing their job.

infact PSG does nothing vs a melee or saber attack - they only work vs a ranged attack

the issue is ab slices and recon which when combined with healing makes a character able to tank a jedi untill he or she runs out of force.

To get a damage type that bypasses all armour would mean reducing the damage of our weapons. Either way itll add up to the same thing but giving lightsaber damage will just mean BH save money on armour and can wear full BE clothing suits.

You CANNOT cut and paste something from a completely separate combat system...no not even that a totally separate game and say thats fair. LS damage was for the days of 90% resist armour and it should remain there, the issue is not damage type the issue is pearl drops and availability. Get a decent saber and hit BH for 800+ and then tell me we arent ok with what we have?

Focus on the pearl/crystal fix dont move on to something completely pointless.

To be honest i prefer the company of BH to most jedi.

At least they are realistic and decent.

I don't recall Lightsabers having Elemental Damage in the movies Turning our Elemental Damage in to Lightsaber Damage may be interesting though.

I love when they cry AB slice...my first response to any BH have he AB slice or no is always AB...then head hit then choke then KD then power attack...trust me it works.

Indeed, choke is most satisfying especially on CM's.
