Why the heck does the Juggernaut hold the lightsaber so stupidly?

[scoutlab1991]

I was so pissed to find out that the Juggernaut holds the lightsaber like an idiot instead of normally in both hands like the Jedi Guardian. It reminded me of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed or how gangstas hold pistols - you know, sideways. Even Darth Vader used a two handed stance when holding his lightsaber. At LEAST what they should have done was to make Soresu form trigger the "Im evil, hurr, durr" stance and have "Shiro" stance trigger the normal, 2 handed swings. Im not a programmer, but I think that would have been cool and not to hard to implement. Its dumb how stances are just buffs instead of actually making your character actually change how they fight. Who agrees?

Because one hand is better than two.

theyre idiots who think star wars fans will merely tolerate it and teh mmo playin gangstas will be all over it?

They need a hand free for all the force choking dude.

I played a Jugg for most of the beta weekend and it didnt bother me /shrug. I think I actually preferred the Jugg animations to what Ive seen of the Guardian animations.

believe that is a vibroblade with a yellow glow >.>

back on topic, the sith juggernaut is based on Darth Vader, answer me this, how does Darth Vader hold his lightsaber?

[DaGhostDS]

He fight like Vader or Malgus which are the base inspiration of the advance class.

Jedi knight fight like Obi-wan, Luke or whatever.

They are

I don't see anything wrong with how he holds the saber. He is just holding with 1 hand instead of two. Lightsabes have no weight to be held with both hands. *shrug*

That black\yellow lightsaber is result of the pre-order bonus crystal thingie. Horrid haha, but just a plus.

Its a Vibroblade, read the thread.

It does look kinda ugly as a Lightsaber blade, but it actually looks decent as blaster bolts.

call me crazy, but i dont think the npc preordered the game

Jedi's are weak, they require both hands to put the power needed into their blows. Sith show their power by using the same force but with one hand then use two when they feel like destroying things. Bioware obviously thought Sith Warriors would be too overpowered if they used both hands all the time.

Lightsaber combat is a bit more complex than you think.

Nice, i like Sith Warrior's animation. It seems more aggressive than Jedi Knight's, which i actually also like in a different way.
Does dual wielding for Sith Warriors also have that "aggressive" flavor to it?

Also, which ability is the one that triggers the baseball "home run" animation?

One hand for the... you know, the goodies.
