a 2 spec niman-disciple sentry is the current only way to get a well rounded movie capable Jedi at the same time non force sensitives mature. I think the question is limiting as in it excludes specs like sentry, armorer etc. Don't get me wrong, there are some nice talents in this tree, but it's just not much of a game-changer compared with the other five. The bottom row of 25-point talents is the worst of any lightsaber tree (Parry and Center of Being?).
Shii-Cho: No Reflect, and no special attack talent that lets you add Force dice to your lightsaber attacks. But this is a game that rewards offense over defense, so Soresu is slightly less powerful than some of the other forms (but only slightly).Ħ. Resist Disarm is probably the most useful 5-point talent in the book.ĥ. You can knock someone out real fast from strain with these talents, and the critical hits from Makashi Finish are crippling with a high FR. Makashi: Brutal for one-on-one lightsaber battles, but this tree suffers from lack of versatility. Disrupting Strike is very good in one-on-one combat you can really shut your opponent out of the fight.Ĥ. Shien: This is a close contest with Makashi, but Shien is more versatile, since it has both Parry and Reflect. Good defensive talents in this tree as well.ģ. Force Assault is fairly worthless, but Draw Closer is great-it means you'll never miss an attack once your FR gets above 3 or so, and with the high damage bonus from the successes you can punch through cortosis armor. The only way to buff your saber skills without skipping a chance to advance your FR. Niman: The Force Rating pushes this one into the #2 slot for me. You also have access to both Parry and Reflect in this tree, which means defensive versatility.Ģ. Advantage from Hawkbat can be used to crit, activate saber swarm, or even recover strain if you're running low.
Ataru: Saber swarm makes mincemeat out of enemies. How would you rank the forms (in descending order of overall power)?ġ.
