You can also consider adding as many damage types as you can to your lightsaber, making it harder to resist all of the damage and usually more of your damage will bypass shields since a lot of shields only protect against some damage types and all protect against Energy, meaning if you stack a ton of energy damage on your lightsaber then shields nerf your damage.

    But a lot of guides I read said go all DEX to reflect blasters back at them and have great AC, while not missing and getting more crits. Since I'm pretty sure Lightsabers can use DEX by default in the first one.

    Guardian is feats/melee, sentinel is skills, consular is force powers. So if you want to try Consular take WIS/CHA, use the high tier Stun powers that Slow if they make their saving throw, Scream to debuff further, and spam lightning for damage. CHA makes the other side force powers less costly, WIS gives more force points, and both make your powers harder to resist.
    I was going for a ranged stealth build on a scoundrel I went high on dex and can't remember what else lower str and wis(stupidly) not knowing that you become a jedi I thought the game was going to somewhat neglect the jedi aspect in favor of you and party vs random sith/empire/bounty hunters

    I'm seeing a lot of comments about Justice League being just as bad as BvS, some are even saying it's worse
    I'll wait a little longer then check it out myself.

    It's not great but at least it doesn't have as many plot holes as BvS had

    far cry the problem was when double clicking on the mounted image I'd get application not found I've encountered this problem with quite a few games lately.
    I deleted the image file I really don't feel like spending another 2hrs waiting just to find out if the game will even run or run well enough to play without problems.

    I was shocked by how utterly broken the KOTOR systems were when I played. I had to restart after doing Taris because I realized too late my build would be basically worthless for the rest of the game and the game doesn't explain what the stats actually do that well.

    I'm glad KOTOR 2 introduces that perk that lets you use melee or weapon and have hit chance and power decided by dexterity instead of strength. I don't like tank or bruiser builds, they're too boring.

    That seems to be the agreement.

    BvS is worse because it was trying to do more and fail spectacularly.

    Justice League was originally going to be more of that, and then Snyder had a family crisis and left the project, and then strong woman foot lover and wife cheater Joss Whedon had to basically finish half of the shoots and basically changed what the movie was actually about (backing away from the forth world implications, jokes, Superman not being a miserable sad sack stand in for toxic Randian ideology that basically argued against everything Superman actually was, ect).

    On top of this, WB got cold feet and tried to pull another Suicide Squad with ridiculous cuts and a slob job edit that left vitally important scenes and character arcs on the cutting room floor - or in some cases, never let them get shot because of a shift in focus for Whedon's changes.

    The end result was a movie made by two directors with radically different world views, then further tweaked by cowardly suits unable to can the project outright and begin again (thus the weird color corrections and filters you may notice if you compare it to the much darker and contrast heavy BvS). That doesn't even take into account Snyder's stylish film techniques suddenly being next to Joss' TV style efficient but basic framing.

    It's a mess, basically, but also one that had whatever purpose or point it originally had now missing.

    TL;DR: It sucked but in a more boring way

    Yeah I think the people saying League is worse than BvS base their argument on the movie being made by two different people and ending up being a complete mess.

    That should be a perfectly valid view, but man oh man BvS was a disaster just from the original plan alone. Monster X Hot White Girl With Pretty Feet fetishist Joss Whedon basically changing half of the film to something else was ultimately an improvement, but it destroyed any whole the film could have had. There's more tone whiplash in there than four seasons of Code Geass, an anime about terrorism that portrays genocide with entire episodes about high school shenanigans and crossdressing.
