mattpopper Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I prefer the non bland look of vibroblades to sabers! My main hand is The Chopper and my off hand is MD-5 Shock Viper Vibroblade. The combo looks more menacing. What do other Marauders out there use/think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

direblaze Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 PvP sab0rz. Not much of a choice since you cant remove mods... you can get high end mods for vibro weapons from raiding pve content, rare thought. IM BORED with sabers, i mean they all look the same, they only thing that is different is the hilt which you cant see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CutlassJack Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Real Pirates don't use flashlights. Love vibroblades, even if most of the armstech ones are main hand only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadoken Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There's a couple (rare) times in pve where I've noticed a mob will pop a shield that reduces energy damage (only). In those cases, a vibroblade (because it's kinetic) would actually do more damage. That being said, it's incredibly rare and I don't know if there's an equivalent kinetic only type defense some have as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eroex Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 come 1.2 i get my vibroblades back /yay The problem is, you cant get an augment slot in the offhand vibroblade because you cant craft an offhand one. We will still be stuck with a lightsaber if we want the extra stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattpopper Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah, I dont get main hand only... In real life I hand you a knife and say "now you must only hold this in your off hand". Doesnt make much sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltonz Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So, what options are there for moddable vibroblades? I am planning on modding a set in 1.2 just for the novelty, and I'd like to be ready now. Any drops or quests you recommend? The image for this one makes it look awesome, but I have no idea where to get it: http://www.torhead.com/item/6P8fxr1/paramount-freelancers-prototype-vibroblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldserpent Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I could have sworn that the Shock Viper vibrosword you can get from Taris commendations is not only modular, but you can dual-wield them(mainhand/offhand vibrosword). That's actually what I'm planning on using for my marauder, since I'm getting burned out on sabers. Plus once I get Vicious Throw/Deadly Throw, it'll be fun to lob a hunk of edged metal at someone with impunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAl Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Screens? dont have any, but the taris commendation blades are the ones ill be using (at least until i find something cooler lookin) The problem is, you cant get an augment slot in the offhand vibroblade because you cant craft an offhand one. We will still be stuck with a lightsaber if we want the extra stats. i think i can stand missing an augment slot in order to use my blades, but missing the dps/exp of the pvp saber is too much atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, I just like the look of the Chopper more and wish that could be in both hands! But the Skeletor main hand sword, and Cloud offhand is still a fun combo!

Audenlol Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 For mainland and offhand chopper vibriblades there are 2 options. 1. Taris comms 14 eAch. 2. In Ilum at the base (where dailies are). There is a green modable vibrosword for credits that are mainland and offhand. The same vendor also sells a different look of vibrosword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAl Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Columni and pvp and rakata sabers hilts cannot be removed. In 1.2 they will be. right, which is why i need my pvp sabers for their damage but once i can pop out their hilts and put them in a vibroblade i definitely will plus im full light side ... why do i get red sabers ... BW failed with that whole color restriction thing on the pvp sabers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokai Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Sabers all the way. This is Star Wars, we are Sith! Red bladed sabers or you are a smelly Jedi! interesting fact... sith actually use to use vibro weapons was only because they faced the jedi that they adapted the weapon, so actually using vibro blades is far more traditional sith then a light saber x3 least pretty sure way i read it.
