I mean by the saber. In ep2 for the very first time we saw that actually you can block lightning bolts. From a "movie perspective" we could guess Obi-Wan was using a sort of absorb (just like Yoda) but it seems another ability to me.
From a "gameplay perspective" what do you think? IMHO it woul be cool but to balance Force powers Heal shoul also have limitations, maybe you can't move and/or attack while healing (see JO SP Heal lv1&2).
I think that if lightning became blockable from the saber as well as absorb it would become even more useless then it is right now. I didn't really like how obi-wan blocked the lightning, it totally downplayed the power. And for heal, i think you should have to turn saber off and sit down to meditate while you are healing. Its more realistic IMO.
Well, i tihnk absorb should put on and then depending if your saber is on or off then it would either block wityh the saber or just take it in the yoda way. Sounds fair enough to me.
I thought the lightening block was great in ep II - imho. I would like to see it implemented - in SP as well - though I kinda doubt it will be.
Oh - and there was a thread started about this - but the title/subject wasn't very clear - I think it was electric saber or something.
moderator plz shut down this thread
