I usually use two lightsabers. Is there any advantage to using a short lightsaber in the off hand? Thanks.

You hit more frequently with a short one rather than a regular one in the off hand (+2 to hit).

There's also a crystal that drastically increases the amount of damage done on a crit: excellent for use with a short lightsaber.

Use a short saber in your offhand if you think your to hit is a bit low. Later on in the game, your to hit will probably be high enough for you to substitute in another normal saber for the extra damage.

Thanks guys, that helps!

double bladed lightsaber is the best

Useless for a critical strike build.

Could you explain that please?

Well, just went through the endgame with increased difficulty and a double-bladed lightsaber complete with Mantle of the Force, Upari, and Solari. That combination pretty much rocks.

If you're using critical strike then you don't want a double-bladed saber, because their base critical threat is 20. Regular lightsabers threaten a critical on a 19 or 20. Critical strike acts as a threat multiplier, so with a double-bladed lightsaber, you're essentially cutting your threat range in half, which is simply no good.

Some day I might actually learn the rules, but I was using Master Flurry.

Well then you're definitely better off with a double-bladed saber...
