Hi newbie here,

I'm currently using a staff sabre. But I have full stats in dual wielding.

1) Does the staff-sabre use the dual-wielding feat?
2) Do I get more attackes with dual-wielding or staff sabre

Many thanks
kogi

Double-bladed sabers use the two-weapon fighting feats. You get the same amount of attacks wielding two single-bladed weapons as you do one double-bladed weapon.

Also, keep in mind that a Jedi skilled in the 2WF style of combat has the choice to have two weapons that have the same statistics and abilities (the double-bladed lightsaber) or two weapons that have specialized and differentiated abilities (two lightsabers).

Personally, I prefer the two saber method for the simple reason that you get more variability with more sabers. I keep almost all the sabers I find and use them for different situations. For instance, I keep a saber staff with Phond and Firkrann crystals for battle with droids, a single saber with Jenruax and Sigil for enemies w/ blasters, and my power hitters w/ solari/opila & upari/opila. But then my fighting style uses Critical Strike a lot.

That said, I keep Bastila and Juhani with staffs and Jolee with a single saber and maxed out on dueling, because the dual sabers need high strength to have consistent hits. It also allows more crystals to be available to your player.

WARNING: light spoiler:














Both habe it pre's and con's. With dual sabers you have more variability for specific damage and abilites, where with the staff you do almost always more damage.

'til now I used always a staff 'cause I do more damage with it, and I love to split abilities. (I play the PC-Version, so I can use the special focus-crystals.)

But now I play a light guardian and use two sabers.

I always give Bastila a staff, Jolee a single saber and Juhani two sabers.

And I keep a staff special for druid-fighting with the two ion-crystals set.
