How much theorycrafting will be in SWTOR?

I'm curious as to how much customization there will be in the endgame. One of the aspects I like about WoW is that you can spend tons of time on a site like EJ and with either spreadsheets or online simulators to really min/max a character. I also wonder if the game will be similar to the KoToR single player games where you would be walking around with a few lightsabers in your backpack, each one for a different purpose like anti-droid etc.

At launch it looks like theorycrafting may be slightly limited, since they are currently having problems with the Combat Log doing...interesting things, so it's temporarily disabled.

Down the road, with all the secondary stats you can mod into armor, I can see a lot of theorycrafting going down, especially if they keep with the philosophy that most equipment pieces will be modifiable to get most of their stats.

Yeah, the combat log being disabled right now severely limits the possibility of serious theory crafting. Though, I seem to remember reading that it will be enabled again.

There is plenty of theorycrafting to be done in SWTOR. For a glimpse at what's already been done, I recommend visiting the forums at sithwarrior.com.
