Ok guys, I think I found it: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200rIzs0MckZZsMcRrbz.2 Going to use lightning charge and a focus item that is not a shield, also not generating a lot of threat. I think this will allow me to get out there all saber blazing, without the need for stealth, and at the same time I can blast my enemies with Death field, crushing darkness and electrocute, which will all be instant. Going for this build atm. Thx for the suggestions.

2 Focus items instead of a lightsaber and a focus item. Thoughts?

Hmm, I might try this too.

No that is actually exactly what I want basically, to combine the 2 in equal measure to take down my enemies. I wouldn't expect to take down elites using only one side. =) Ok then I will try madness.

I guess I am just looking for some cool DPS powers to use, like the ones Warrior has - Scream, Push, Smash etc. Adding in Lightning and Double bladed combat moves. A cross between the 2 would be the ideal. And would throw out all the healing and stealth and what not. Straight up combat. Edit: Or here is a more elaborate explanation - I want enough DPS in my force powers to be able to kill JUST using force powers and enough DPS in my melee to be able to kill JUST with my lightsaber. Then I want to combine the 2 with variety and cooldowns for a more interesting combat. But am not interested in fancy stealth / debuffs etc.

Started an inquisitor play through recently, was very fun. The STARTING power pack was perfect for what I wanted. I few lightsaber attacks, a few force powers. I wanted to keep it that way, to fight with my light saber occasionally shooting out powers. Wanted to go balanced Lightsaber/Force power dps, Then BOOM, time to choose specialization: Sorc - zero lightsaber combat, except for starting skills, and some stupid heals that are INBUILT, before actually choosing the heal tree. Assasin - zero force use, except for starting skills, all the force powers focus on adding damage to the saber attacks and some stupid stealth that is also inbuilt before choosing the stealth tree. So sad.

I think what they need to do with lightning spells is make them all instant instead of channeled but make them have a cooldown. That wasy you have a solid burst dps, going through all your lightning spells.

Isn't the most optimized idea, but I am looking just for fun and not hardcore PvP. The idea is - I only use skills that are instant and going for a dps build, no channeling skills. What would be a good talent build for this build?

Some stats seem overall useless. Imo a sith for example should only would have to have Strength, willpower, presence and endurance, and choose between those four. Other characters would have different four attributes.

I just wonder. Why aren't we spending stat points each lvl-up, Kotor style? It would be cool if we could tweak the amount of stats given each lvl like STR, WIS etc ourselves.

Would asking for a toggle, same as helmet to hide a light saber be too much? For classes like Consular and Sorcerer, or just maybe make light saber be turned off until you try to attack with it. It looks silly when you only use the force, but the light saber sits there in your hand activated.
