Exactly, that's what it feels like we're missing. The only thing I can think to explain things is that double bladed lightsabers are supposed to only be 5% better than single bladed so the 6% extra damage on Shien balances things out? Never really compared them side by side to know. But I'm sure it's more than that, skill damage differences etc.
I was thinking a two handed saber could make up for that because Bioware would have to relook at Guardians and Juggs, make a few new animations and rebalance some things.
