[member="Ignis Imura"] there is many different forms of sword fighting yes i agree with you there and there is slight differences in light saber fighting but i still stand by the fact that if you learn how to sword fight properly you should be able to use a two handed light saber effectively, most of the light saber fighting in the star wars saga looks a lot like sword fighting to be specific it look a lot like rapier fighting and that's very interesting because the fact there is no originality in light saber fighting. OOC in the star wars movies , comics and cartoons light sabers have broken many times exactly when they were needed a good ol sword does not have that problem. more strength and have heavier blows gives you more cutting potential and in real life there are not many swords that actually have very weight to them there mostly even weighted all well balanced for a certain purpose, there not clubs heavy blunt over cumbersome objects. >>>you need a metal that not everyone can get so easily. Contrary to your beliefs and thoughts, Light saber resistance is not as easy at it seems. On the site it's easy to get because all of our characters are "snowflakes" and thus find it more easily than the average person in the galaxy<<< Not exactly true there is a lot of canon metal, describe in star wars that's not only common but light sabers have very little effect on it on the other hand you are right there are a lot of ""Snow flakes"" on here and i do believe items should be harder to get and force users shouldn't just be able to pick any rank they want but that's how this site is. snow flake character defeat the entire purpose of rp creating a character and growing with your character, honestly whats the point in rp if you can have all the best weapons and all the best gear 2 seconds into a role play it is majorly over powered. Any other kind of breaking was done by something other than light sabers. In which case, everything has a limited durability, Even the swords you so highly note of, can break. << i can not argue this point everything breaks light sabers and swords alike if things were indestructible rp wouldn't be any fun and everyone would be OP. It appears we both have different points of view on this topic,It was said that the orbalisk armor's durability was such that lightsabers had a hard time penetrating it, making a wearer basically immune to light saber attacks.Song steel,Vonduun crab armor was protected by the same energy field that an amphistaff carried, generated by a power gland. For this reason, it could withstand the atomic-diameter edge of an amphistaff, and even a lightsaber.Any weapon made from Cortosis, Any weapon made from Phrik, including Electrostaffs ,Any weapon made from Songsteel,Any weapon made from Mandalorian Iron,Z6 riot control batons , Amphistaffs. Anyway i will wish you a good day and i will end it here.
