...then why don't our Vibro Knucklers?
*random thought #73 for today*

Because "vibro" doesn't mean "electric shock".
Vibro axes, vibro blades, they don't do electric damage either. The theory behind a vibro weapon is that the vibration increases the cutting power of the weapon. The vibro lance just happens to deliver an electric shock when it penetrates the enemy.

lol, that is kinda wierd. it would be cool if the vibro knucklers, vibroblade, and vibro ax, did electrical damage as well. seeing as how no that many mobs have electrical resists(i think).

Until a dev says otherwise... i consider the Vibro Lance to be bugged.
And when he says otherwise, I flame the hell out of him for being dumb.

Speaking from a WS point of view, the vibro lance isn't broken. ALL the vibro weapons use vibro-blade units. But only the vibro lance also has acontrol units in it for the electric shock. It's designed that way. None of the other vibro weapons have those.

"i thought vibro was the material that have high lightsaber resistance and so u can duel a lightsaber..."
KOTOR tossed in some nonsense about that in some of the weapon descriptions, but that's not what vibro weapons are.

Might I point out to you that the Vibro Lance has always done Electricity damage, is an AP1 weapon and is nothing for a TKM to be jealous about. The only timea pikeman uses this weapon is when fighting droids, be they Droideka, SBD's or any otherelectricity vulnerable mobor whenwe want a little more speed and accuracy than our Long Vibro Axe, in all other situations this weapon is nearly useless (all mobs thatare 100% kinetic resistant are nearly always 100% electricity resistant). Our LVA outdamages our VL even when the mob is 80% kinetic resistant and only 30% electricity resist.
TKM have no reason to be jealous of a pikeman at all, I have both. I use pikeman in PvE for it's area attacks and I use TKM in PvP because pikeman just doesn't cut it there with all the defense stackers.
The Vibro Lance is not bugged and is working as intended, it's been like this since the beginning of the game, go ask on the pikeman boards. Do research before you post crap like this.
