I just got the game, and I want to make a weapn master end-game, but what stats/items/quests should I do. Also where do I get the title?

Items/quests - no matter, best lightsaber junk is either random, or you make on your own wiht workbench. Best crystal is on(spoiler) Dantooine

Be sure to be LS, at least about 3/4 up the scale, when you get to lvl 15, then talk to Kreia and pick the w.master option.
Best feats: I would go with toughness, w. focus, and two-w. fighting lines (as I did =) ). When you are w. master, continue with newer better two-w. fighting. The rest is irrelevant, more or less. I also went with conditioning...
My items: In the end, I wore Dominator gauntlets, GNS Strength Enhancer, the best strength implant there was (don't remember the name), two dorksabers (duh...), and some robes with Strengthening Underlay V (or was it IV?).
For stat-s, I started with Str 15, Dex 14, Con, 16.. the rest don't remember. Make sure to pump con to 18 at lvl up-s to get best implants to work their magic on you. Then go for strength. The only skill I pumped was persuade. If you get 2 skill points, pick treat injury as well.

Ok, then take all the crit strike and power attack stuff for the future and damage feats when w.master

Basically all you need is high strength decent dexterity and enough const to get the implants you want (i'd say 16-18) i chose to get 14 wisdom and some minor charisma so that i could land statis field with some consistentcy for solo parts of the game and to keep my Master Heal doin good...you just need to get master flurry two-weapon fighting lightsaber focus and for weapon master advanced lightsaber focus and advanced 2weap fighting also you might want to get toughness and conditioning...for force powers i had force wave statis field master heal master speed master force armor and improved knight valor...once you get Force Enlightenment and all your buffs go up just from this you get to be insane...for example Vs. Darth Sion i kicked on force enlightenment and my first flurry dealt over 300 dmg total...he total 2 swings per life bar to kill...weaponmaster is simply Kotor2 on easy mode...you can kill ANYTHING easily with a good double-bladed lightsaber....nihlius sion and kreia were all very easy fights using maybe 1 life support pack at each one

Well too late for duel wielding device I just killed HK-some number and I dont wanna do it again. I can beat it single weapon, might not be as easy, but I don't believe in using double-edged lightsabers if you are good since it was created by Darth, I know it was somebody but I always forget his name gotta go check my SW RPG books.

Hey, Jedi also use double or two weapons... I believe the Master you find on Onderon uses two (might be mistaking) and Bastila in KotOR 1 used a double-bladed. (though that's no really good example)

Exar Kun, not "Darth Somebody" first mastered the double-bladed saber.

Brockaine22 · Post by **Brockaine22** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 2:00 pm

Exar Kun...one of the top 2-3 most powerful sith lords to ever live created a double bladed silver light saber and slew his masters with it...but Bastila used a double bladed yellow saber and the Master on Nar Shadda i can't spell his name used a double-bladed purple saber master Kavar also wields 2 blue sabers....double-bladed are not meant for darkside they are meant for pure offensive forms of combat...if your making a defensive weapon master soemthing is wrong with you

j/k j/k hehe

Single Saber with Master Duelling (not to be confused with Master Dual Weapons) is actually a really powerful option. I think that it is underrated, mostly on account of the powergamers who are only interested in megadamage attacks. But you can still tool up a hideous Master Critical attack with a single blade and with Master Duelling you can have an even more amazing AC.

Not that I was ever worried about my AC towards the endgame. As a LS Consular/Master with Handmaiden's little upgrade I was pumping all of my massive DEX and WIS bonuses towards my AC and still wielding dual sabers. It could range from 45-50 WITHOUT BUFFS depending on what equipment options I used. I decided that AC 45 was "good enough" and that I could afford the minor AC hit to wear Dominator Gauntlets (otherwise I'd have been wearing some nice DEX bonus gloves). Otherwise I could pick a slightly different set of equipment and easily bust a 50. In that range, you're nearly untouchable by anything. In that range, I could pick a lovely full-offense Force Form instead of some weasely defensive Lightsaber Form.

I'm not trying to say single -bladed are neccesarily bad but a weapon master or marauder is supposed to be full offensive hence double-bladed or dual wield...the current char i'm working on is consular/sith lord using single-bladed either red or bronze depending what i find and i'm gonna use master crit strike and get master dueling and jedi defense eventually...i figure its a good way to mopup after lightning pwns an entire room hehe

Its a good plan. Thats basically what I did with a Consular/Master. I'd Force Storm the hell out of the opposition and then mop up with Master Flurry Master Speed and a pair of sabers.

I've come to the conclusion that LS characters can be buffed harder than DS. LS gets Enlightenment for cheap buffs but pays extra for Force Storm. DS does the damage cheaper but gets charged heavy to use any buffs. I'll take the cheap buffs and pay extra to do the mass damage.

ah yes but will you need to be buffed if you can kill a group of enemies in a single storm?
