Title: 1st Time Buyer Trying to Choose Post by: Sirian on July 22, 2013, 01:33:25 AM Hey all,
Huge SW fan, big into RP (check out our SWTOR guild website at www.remnantsofhope.com (http://www.remnantsofhope.com)), and I just recently discovered Ultrasabers! Been browsing here daily. Questions if you'd be so kind to help me with: 1) I'm looking to buy a Saberstaff (Consular Green or Guardian Blue). I won't be doing much dueling, but will on occasion. I'm looking for a great igniting effect with igniting/spinning sound effects of course (not so much deflection sounds). Any suggestions on what I should go for? 2) I'd very much like to get 2 single blades with consular green that can interlock to form a saberstaff. I've seen Darth Maul singles - are there other models? I hope to get many sabers now that I've found this place. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

2) The closest to a maul replica would be the manticore, which is a pretty sweet saber Title: Re: 1st Time Buyer Trying to Choose Post by: Vex on July 22, 2013, 02:36:53 AM Check out the Phantom V3 and Phantasm V3. The LE models look amazing, and they can be separated into 2 sabers.

With the sound fonts, you can mix and match from different fonts to create your ideal set of sounds. I have the standard Starkiller on my Bellicose, Yoda's on my Shock and I think I've got the Electrostaff font on my Manticore. It's surprising how different you can make things sound. Title: Re: 1st Time Buyer Trying to Choose Post by: Sirian on July 22, 2013, 09:41:08 PM I didn't realize those two models separated into 2 sabers. That's great to know.
I'm still unsure as to whether I should get UEHG, UE, or MG Title: Re: 1st Time Buyer Trying to Choose Post by: Slua on July 23, 2013, 07:33:19 PM MG for spinning, UE for displaying and performing with spinning, UEHG for duelling
Because even thus there are "UE" letters in UEHG - it is still heavy, and this puts some strain in spinnig (from a point of a spinning owner of double Liberator staff with UEHG blades) Title: Re: 1st Time Buyer Trying to Choose Post by: James Casey on July 23, 2013, 07:46:28 PM For Consular Green and Guardian Blue, I'd recommend standard mid grade or heavy grade blades, depending on how hard you're going to be hitting things.
Title: Re: 1st Time Buyer Trying to Choose Post by: Master Nero Attoru on July 24, 2013, 02:40:33 AM Check out the Phantom V3 and Phantasm V3. The LE models look amazing, and they can be separated into 2 sabers. I second this, especially if you're on a budget and looking to get sound or other higher priced options. Anything in the "double bladed sabers" category is basically a saberstaff, and can be split into two separate hilts. Welcome, and good luck with your purchase! |
