All the speeds are good to get. Master Speed can make you a machine of destruction. In the robot room just before the final Malak fight, I had my guardian put a master speed on herself, and all I know is that I killed 84 robots in all...(with several uses of speed of course)

Exactly. The fighting is greatly improved. But there's another aspect, too. It makes you run faster. Extremely usable in large areas, such as Dantooine and Tatooine to name two.

Never used the speed powers meself.

My favourite LS power was Destroy Droid

That one is also extremely useful. Against droids, that is. Agains living beings, I usually go for Stasis Field and then chop them down (JG) or Force Lightning (JC).

Speed isn't a light side power, btw, if that's what you thought (that's how I interpreted your reply)...

Isn't it? I couldn't remember if it was neutral or light

Neutral. I'm almost entirely positive of it.

[Celestine]

aww, its been so long since I played the game.. but now I'm dying to go back and re-play the game. LS guardian with master speed sounds awesome. I haven't try it myself before and look forward to playing one.

I also think healing is neccessary. When I play DS, I have one of the LS jedi learn it, probably Bastila.

Speaking of Vader, force choke (upgraded to kill) rocked

[Dalis'ilhea]

That is a very useful power it even kills those big bug things (one on Kashyk, others on Korriban) so now I'm going to see if they are immune to light and neutral power (which they are) AND dark powers (apart from kill which works)

Light side guardian or sentinel is too easy imo. I was two-shotting Malak... I didn't even bother killing the prisoners, and barely had to heal myself in the final fight. Pop knight speed, Power attack him twice in a row, thats 45x4 damage per round. He runs away to heal, I toss one heal on myself if needed, and chase him down. Twice I played through the end as a fighter-type, twice the final fight left something to be desired. o_O

After reading this thread, I have an urge to play again though... as a consular this time.

Here's a screenie of my stats before the Star Forge... The light side robe is too fugly there imo, but it does add some more +wisdom... I think I had defense of 32 and Wisdom of 18 with it? Not sure.

It also rocked because my guardian's str was 28 and she dual-wielded sabers, both with Solari and Upari crystals. I knocked malak out in one master power attack

I can certainly see why...

Seriously, I can't be fun to have a character that can take out the final boss in one blow. Takes all the sport out of the game.

Btw, unless you have strengh-enchanting items, I don't think it's possible to have that much strengh, if you don't cheat or use an editor, of course...

The same thing goes for Arian, but he's probably got some equipment. I'd be fun to know what.

[Mongoose87]

I loved the force whirlwind. I would take three jedi in my party, and just have them use it one the three most powerul ennemies. Very effective. I never found wave as effective.

[The Amazing Maurice]

I wasn't keen on whirlwind meself but wave can save your life on the SF. Have your PC cast it and it gives you the few seconds you need to heal and regroup. Very useful power IMO.

[Mongoose87]

I was severely handicappedon the SF, because when I went throught the Sith Tombs, the one with the crasy geezer did something funky to Juhani and HK-47's AI, so they stopped doing anything. Including following me.

[Arian]

Nah, never cheated. Played it fair and square. The best equipment comes from that orbital store... around that planet. It's only in the PC version.. Yavin? Something like that. Best prices there too, easy to make some solid cash.

Yavin it is. Yavin 4, I believe...

You can get it on XBOX as well providing you have XBOX Live.

Stasis, and later Stasis Field, worked on the tarentateks, for my Scout 4/Light Side Consular X.
