Etheric Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Why should class dictate form ? I personally have never understood the need for limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Victus Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Why should class dictate form ? I personally have never understood the need for limitations. Agreed. If I remember correctly, Yoda mastered all forms and he was a Consular? =/ Edited August 25, 2012 by Darth_Victus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryeko Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Just figured i'd add my two credits. For the record Anakin was a Jedi Guardian and a Form V user so limiting it to sentinals would be a mistake. Also basic Form I (Shii-cho) is taught to all jedi initiates... saber forms may not be 100% accurate in-game but it works fine, although being able to learn Juyo on my JG would be fun. In any event nothing to see here move along, move along. Edited August 25, 2012 by Ryeko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have anybody notices that Raven can use Juyo form and his a Jedi Guardian, just fight him as a Sith and look at his buff Juyo is right there so why can he use that lightsaber form but not a Guardian player only the jedi Sentinals can W T F Bioware.

Hessen Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would rather the different forms looked different than anything else, in terms of how you deflect shots, hold the lightsaber, how attacks look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etheric Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lightsaber forms have confused me from day 1. I have a Infiltration spec consular shadow, a melee dependant character and yet aparently this character was abesent during lightsaber training. Don't ALL jedi go through some form of saber training ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only showing the facts guys. cause Bioware had it right back in the beta the Jedi Guardian and Sith Juggernaut use Form VII: Juyo or Form IV: Ataru lightersaber forms by using the skill tree.

Don't ALL jedi go through some form of saber training ? Yes, the basic lightsaber form should have been Form I: Shii-Cho training how did bioware get that wrong in this game thats the basic form for all Jedi's it was also in the Kotor 2 and in the books, the Sith use the Form II: Makashi cause its more better against lightsaber to lightsaber combat as well as defends against blaster fire how did Bioware not see this already.

Master_Dark Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 I just want this game to be accurate a little more then what it is now base on the books and Kotor games cause there change to much from the books, look at Exar Kun he was a Jedi Shadow/Sith Assassin's and his lightsaber forms was Form II: Makashi and Form VI: Niman but he started with Form I: Shii-Cho and thats the basic for all Jedi's in the Old Republic. O and there is no limitations guys just do the research Bioware and see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhaltia Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) If I remember correctly, Yoda mastered all forms and he was a Consular? =/ Not really, when did this happen I would like to know guys cause i never hear about that. It is most accurate that Yoda mastered every form of lightsaber combat, save for the form that was developed by Mace Windu; Vaapad. Also, Master Yoda did employ, most commonly, Ataru form and is considered to be the greatest Ataru form user ever. Yes, he was a consular. I think the entire point is being missed here though. These forms are given to specific classes and talent builds purely for balance reasons. As a lore junky myself I also agree that it seems a bit of a rough decision to do that, but I can't really disagree with it.

LUCASCASADEIS Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 agreed. If i remember correctly, yoda mastered all forms and he was a consular? =/ not realy he didn't mastered in the form of mace windu, dark side and light side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Well, my Sorcerer could really use Makashi All classy and stuff But then again, he is above tools as clumsy and brute as a lightsaber. The force is his weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayla_Felana Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Makashi isn't a main Sith form at all, Juyo and Shien are the predominant Sith lightsaber forms, because Dark Side rage amplifies it's usefulness. The Jedi stuck to Makashi, Ataru and Soresu, because Niman wasn't considered an effective form for the everyday Jedi, even Makashi saw very light usage because of it's weakness at facing multiple opponents and Shii-cho was the most basic and was considered by many to be the training form.

Its off subject slightly but 2 of you are getting the name wrong and its annoying, its Revan, not the bird Raven. And /signed for Consular/Inquisitors getting Lightsaber forms.

In any event nothing to see here move along, move along. Actually Vader was a juggernaut, we saw in Ep2 that Anakin used 2 lightsabers. So I could infer from this that when he "fell" he changed classes as well. It was implied that he was getting good at saber forms in the banter between Anakin and Obi-wan, that Anakin thought he was as good as the masters. So if anything Anakin was more of a sentinel and Vader was a juggernaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
