there should be a new damage type just for Lightsabers, plasma. Everything should be vulnerable to it and it should do heavy AP. There is a can'o'worms have fun discussing.

I totally agree. A lightsaber is not a Wooden Stick. Kinetic Damage. Nothing resist a Lightsaber. Watch StarWars 1 and see them stick their sabers through a solid metal door and cut it open. Kinetic damage is wrong. There needs to be a new damage and nothing in the SWG world should resist it. They can keep it at medium AP or raise it to Heavy. But the point is no Lightsaber will hit Kinetic damage to be true to the Movies. **edit** near everything in the SWG world is Resistant to Kinetic making Lightsabers effectiveness even less.

Well all the movies and books say that LSs can cut through anything and with plenty of ease too. Most things are cut in half like butter. But I'm not saying that they should oneshot Rancors and AT-STs. Although, in the later comic books, Luke kills an AT-AT with it's own blaster fire. But I doubt that there will be any such thing as a Force Storm in this game.

I think the only thing that in the movies that had saber resist was that boba fett armor..Madolonian or something. doing kinetic damage with a saber is retarded, a novice brawler with 80% suit can prolly pown you.

/agree with that... but I don't recall Boba Fett's armor resisting it. I don't think it ever got touched by the saber. His blaster did, and it got cut down in one slice. Vader gets hit in the shoulder with Luke's saber, but it was just a nic.

oooh Jengo Fett. Other than that, I don't remember a saber touching the armor. But that's not the issue.

I dont think they should have to make a new damage type just for sabers. But maybe give them heavy AP insted of medium. That would help a little.
Ive really noticed when im fighting with my friend he can just put on a 80% kinetic resistance comp armor and I do like 30 damage LOL. So reallly anyone with a good setarmor can kick a jedi's butt

The new damage type makes sense though.

Mandolorian components.. especially mandolorian Iron and cortoise (sp) and one other thing that is very rare. Lightsabers pretty much cut through everything else with ease.

They should make it plasma, I agree, or some kind of energy-type resistance.
Also, after they do that, they should introduce a RIS type thing, but with the Sith armor, maybe you uncover it or something, so that players can design a suit of armor that is.. really useless agains everything except saber.
I don't really think it's nessisary to implament that Sith armor, to be honest, though I cant think of the name of it at the moment, just because Jedi aren't strong enough to be overpowered anyways... there barely strong enough to be 'average', most melee profs are stronger atm x_X
