How do I get off the notification for this thread??

Seriously ... its a thread about the Soldier/Guardian build..... no others. Its not Ultimate PvP Build, or Ultimate in your dreams build. Its just a soldier/guardian that looks sexy and kicked butt with zero intelligence or preperation needed.

I ...

Dudes ....

I was just talking about a tank-build mindless no macro-manage meat masher. I wasnt suggesting which jedi has the biggest balls in a PvP hypothetical deathmatch. I wasnt talking about which would kill 25 rancors 0.005 seconds faster than the other build.

I was just trying to advertise ...

Havnt tried multiplayer.

The only tangible advantage to force powers is their area-of-effect disabling. When the enemies aren't tightly packed together (say, if they're ranged attackers ), or there are less than six of them, or one is especially strong (i.e. a boss), melee always comes out ...

Only reason I can think of to take only 2 levels of your first class is that you intend to play a consular. You get more force powers, and more force points. There are no other advantages so for sentinel and guardian id take lvl 7 or 8 in your first class for the feats / skills etc.

Hmmm well you need to try Scoundrel/Consular

Played that one first time through :)

Done these:

Scoundrel 8/Consular 12 (LS)
Scout 8/Consular 12 (LS) - Did not finish, stopped on builder planet....
Scout 2/Consular 18 (LS)
Scout 2/Consular 18 (DS) **Utter ...

There is armour that gives strength. But as I've already said, the strength bonus it gives is absolutely pitiful compared to the extra damage you inflict from master speed's two bonus attacks.
.

Its not about damage. Its about stuns. STR gives more stuns.

Anyway ...

even though I disagree about using heavy armor you want to use the jedi robes because of all the dexterity you get to dodge.

Defence? Why? They hit so rarely and even then for such ****y damage i dont care. Heavy armour gives STR! More stuns ...... oh yeah.

This ...

Because ultimate implies a quantifiable criteria against which a class of objects can be measured relative to one another. In this case, as you admit later, it's just a very good build you happen to like.

It is quantifiable. I like it LOTS

But as this thread's title contains the words "ultimate build," I felt obliged to speak up.


Ok I concede that. I actually meant ULTIMATE in the context of easy to play, no macro management and in the end just damned sexy :) With this build the game was a no ...

i have to say that DS soldier/guardian was easier than LS

Easier as in combat was easier or easier as in easy to keep DSM?

I found DSM hard to keep. I had to act childish and money mad half the time. It got easier towards the end, but for the first 4 star maps it was ...

I have to admit, I laughed out loud when I read "get the whole idea of defense out of your skull," and then two paragraphs later, "start thinking armour!"


Then you missed my point. Armour looks cool and give STR :) Defence is for consules :)


Look: armour sucks ...

Small note:

I played a scoundrel / guardian build side by side with this as far as the second star map. What I noticed was that the small bonus the soldier had on Attack bonus made a huge difference. Even level one with a mere +1 attack bonus I found he hit noticably more often than the scoundrel ...

Ok, forget all the crap you learned when you played through as a consule :) The hack n slash game is ten times easier! Hell, you can probably go make coffee during most battles.

First of all : Strength! Strength and more Strength. Screw Dexterity. Get 18 str at the get go. Then con. Get the whole ...

Going for my 4th run through the game and ive decided on a scoudrel/guardian. I was wondering whether to have dex 16 and str 16 OR dex 12 and str 18. I figure ill end up in robes eventually so would the dex bonus be worth it. Its a toss up between 2ac and 1 damage :)

Advice?

Oh and im playing ...

Dont get me wrong, its still a superb game. Especially as dark side :) Jolee is kinda funny if you are light side, but Canderous and the Psycho android are without doubt the best duo to go adventuring with if you are bad to the bone! TK-47 has all the best lines and noone is whining at you when you ...

Listen, no game is going to be perfect. I've almost completed my fourth time through and I've found the Dark Side no more difficult than the Light. In fact the Dark Side has some pretty cool force powers.

Its not techinically more difficult to play DS but its ...

Actually they at least have a sense of humour about it. Later on on Koriban someone complains that dark side followers these days just seem to be mindless thugs rather than the true evil men of the past

Its just too hard. I give up. I keep getting light side points for doing things that are just basically polite. Its like unless I extort some schmucj for 50 credits (when I have 60,000 already) Im a good guy..... forget the fact that I only really did the quest to further my own power and the thrill ...

I justified it by thinking of the pre-jedi bit as my bad youth. Now im a trained jedi trying to suppress my rage and bitterness etc etc. Now I just pick fights with anyone who gives attitude, that seems enough. Oh and I lie like mad to the council :)

But I dont have to slap small babies any more ...
