Jimsee Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hello Readers & Bioware. I'm wondering why Sentinels are allow'd to use Vibroswords, but can't use a lot of our abilities with them? This comes out after ive been running around getting some Vibroswords, couse i don't wanna run looking like 80% of the server. But what are the idea, what were you thinking when you make a class able to use a weapon, but can't really use it couse of abilities req? Hope anyone can answer this.. ! Or tell me if there will be a change SOON, so we actully can. /Jimsee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baelish Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 But what are the idea, what were you thinking when you make a class able to use a weapon, but can't really use it couse of abilities req? It's not just Marauder, there are Smuggler/Gunslinger abililties that require you to use two weapons, so you can't opt for single-blaster (though you can't put anything other than a blaster in your off-hand, so you'd be gimping yourself anyway, and Trooper abilities that only work with Assault Cannon, when the Troop can use Blaster Rifles. It's about 'signature' weapons. Jedi "should" be using Lightsabres, so their abilities are predicated on having them equipped. Commando are "supposed" to be using Assault Cannon.

Tenacity Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If you're trying to use just one vibrosword, the issue is probably that you need to be dual-wielding to use most of your sentinel/marauder specific abilities. Assassins/Shadows cant use electrostaves because their class abilities require double bladed lightsabers, though - kinda sucks =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsee Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Just to clarify Jedi Knight's abilities, atleast some of them states "Requires 2 Lightsabers" So again why the heck are we allowed to use Vibroswords then? id just find it funny.

AdamLKvist Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ? Vibroswords works for sentinels. Unless they broke it with a patch. Electrostaves for shadows on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are able to dual wield vibroswords and use all of your abilities. At least you WERE able to like someone said might have broke it with a patch but i doubt it.

Jimsee Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 The most fun is that you guys think i write this post without thinkin... I bought 2 Vibroswords yesterday... Now comes the fun.. SOME of our abilities don't work.. These: 1. Zealous Strike (Main Focus Gain) 2. Merciless slash (Hardest attack) 3.Cauterize (Flame Dot) All 3 are abilities we use a lot, that doesnt work with Vibrosword, Funny enough the Tooltip states that it needs "two lightsabers" So again i don't really care if it worked before or so... This is how it is now, and i wonder WHY.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohamsie Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It makes sense for Cauterize at least, since lightsabers generate heat and I imagine vibroswords don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
