So.....
With the impending CU and the supposed "rebalancing" of uber 2913226374961284612985162856 max damage Power Hammers, what are you guys going to pick up as your new favorite weapon? I know there's notgoing to be one "best" weapon anymore, but which 2h weapon (or at least which sword, since for some we dont know if theyre 1 or 2h) do you think looks the coolest, or that you would just run around with when not forced to switch to better your combat abilities? I think the Sith sword looks awesome. Anyone else?

yeah i was thinking of this last night. since with the new curb, all weapons will hit for kinetic or energy, what is going to happen to hammers? are they being taken out of game? are they just being switched to hit kinetic? Im curious, cuz I am in the process of buying a 908 damage hammer un-pup. it is costing me 30 million since it has a adk on it. what should i do?

I don't think they will take our current weapons out of the game, that would probably cause a large amount of people to be quite upset. Instead I'm pretty sure they will just adjust our current weapons to the new system, not really sure how it's going to work out. Hard to say if they will nerf the damage or what, ya know? Because I can imagine a 900 max ph is still gonna be pretty damn strong depending on what the new weapons damage will be. Time can only tell....although I think the devs REALLY need to explain what is going to happen to our current weapons and armor before they even think about releasing anything.
Right now I've been holding onto my cash and not spending as much in fear that the weapons I might win at an auction will become completely worthless after the CU, and I'm sure many are doing the same. It's still a bit away but really....who knows how the economy will be once it hits.
Oh and for the new swords, I think the 2h Sith sword looks sweet.

actually, all weapons will hit for kinetic or energy (im assuming all melee iwll be kinetic and all ranged will be energy) BUT in addition to doing kinetic or energy, each weapon will do an additional elemental damage, which wont be changed. power hammers will do kinetic, but with additional blast damage. scyths will do just kinetic. stun batons will do kinetic plus stun, etc... so the ph will still be a viable optio with its blast damage.
and actually, the 1000 max "uber leet" hammer will still be "leet". it will just be leet by weapon standards after the cu. if a 1000 ph is 1000 max now, it could have say a 700 max after the cu(estimating here) while the 700 max hammers will have like 400 max. so itll still be good, just not nowhere as near compared to todays standards. so no fear, our ph's will still be quite strong. just strong on a diff. scale.

except power hammers wont do blast elemental damage since they are taking that out of the game :/
however i believe they will make it do anouther type of damage.
