I play lightside now almost exclusively. Especiall since darkside powers seem to be way underpowered in 1.03 patch... but anyway...
Not realy. Im playing Dark side and its REALY powerfull. Only you need skills to play dark greatly.
Absorb
Not bad force but its only protect you from overuse of power like most of players do. Vs me its not realy efficiant.
Mind Trick
Need to know how use it well. Yes suprise is alway fun to do ;P. But Vs me that power is not realy efficiant cause i hear you neer me and i know most exacly where you are.
Team Heal
Lost of time to use that power since 1.03 nurfed alot all heal power.
Seeing Ability
Poor force. Good also to excape sniper its do a kool move ;).
Protect
Bah can safe your life for some sec. Vs me use it or not you still die ;).
My favorite dark powers are this..
Lightning - hell yea awesome power to have. If you know the right tactic with it you will owns all light jedi lol.
Grip - So so power i use it more to look player agonise ;). But its can be usefull for some situation. CTF TDM etc good force to have.
Pull / Push - alway have this to max lvl. Otherwise you will alway knock down on the ground or drop of a clip. Its not prevent you for 100 % but you have more chance to stay up ;)
Jump - Lvl 3 all the way.
Saber throw - lvl 3 oh yea. Good Vs player who play Light Force or try to escape etc.
