So today, I finally finished my capital world on my Jedi Shadow. For a change I decided to go neutral with my alignment as this is something I hadn't attempted before.
So, I made my way to the commendations vendor to get myself kitted out for the journey ahead and BOOM! The only two double-bladed lightsabers available were locked to either light I or Dark I. I then (still horrified by this discovery) scrolled through to see if there were any other weapons I could use. I came across a tech staff (correct name?) which had lightly lower stats then the alignment locked lightsabers, but was still better them my current.
So I bought it and queued for a warzone to see how hard my new, shiny metal pole hit. I then when to attack a opponent with shadow strike, and nothing happened. I then (after dying) checked the tooltip for the ability to discover that it requires a double bladed lightsaber.
What were you thinking BioWare? This Gand is not happy!
P.S this was written on my iPhone, so I apologise for any stupid auto corrects that were made.
