And the wep is only usable by 4 pets out of 40 pets in the game... only 2 of those 4 are actually dps pet. The wep is not good for a tanking pet... And te drop rate of the wep is at least as high as any other PC wep. Again, something is wrong somewhere...

Agreed... the whole question was if is working as intended or not... But not sure if you are aware, there are a few jedis who actually use Force Katana... (which is pretty much a vibro blade)... And what about the Siths ? And the Sith Swords ? They are made of crystal right ? Yep, so is the Electrostaff, they have all the slots a normal Lightsaber does, including the color stone...

But then again upgrading your companions is meant to be apart of this game aswell, tunnel visioned Theme-park vets might not agree with this. You can't say for sure it is working as intended. As stated b4, jugger and marauder can use the vibro sword, only makes sense for an assassin to use the electro staff.

1. Yes, False Emperor drops a Vibrostaff. 2. No, after you leave the starting zone, Vibrostaves are no longer your weapon, period. 3. Yes, this weapon is a companion weapon. See, the thing is, the developers didn't want to put on this weapon: "Requires (INSERT BOUNTY HUNTER COMPANION NAME HERE)" "Requires (INSERT SITH INQUISITOR COMPANION NAME HERE)" "Requires (INSERT SMUGGLER COMPANION NAME HERE)" "Requires (INSERT JEDI CONSULAR COMPANION NAME HERE)" "Requires (INSERT JEDI KNIGHT COMPANION NAME HERE)" ...etc Because that would be stupid, and had lots of implications. So, they left off the "requires X companion" (x8-16) so that you could just choose who gets it and not worry about it. Its completely coincidental that you can use the staff. Staff is companion weapon, that's it.

Staff is companion weapon, that's it. Only 1 point there... I was NEVER able to use the electro staff in the starting area. I gained the abilitie the use it, at the same time I was given my double-bladed lightsaber... that is when I first became the Sith Assassin... And assuming you are right... Why can Jugger / Marauder use the Vibro Sword with all their abilities ?

Im really laughing rite now, you need to submit a bug report, complaining isn't quite the same. Now here's what seems to be the problem info gathered from your post, they instead of making it a companion only forgot to add the tooltip and req's, and somehow this confused you so badly you had to seek help from a GM? Then you could not explain to him that it was a bug report you were trying to issue to him, in which he would have directed you to the correct place... But regardless of all that he answered your question, it's a companion only wep... It's bugged so you can wear it but complaining that it doesen't work well on your toon is foolish considering it was not made for you.

Why can Jugger / Marauder use the Vibro Sword with all their abilities ? Read the replies. Someone with a Juggernaut or Marauder or something gave a listing of five main abilities they use that require lightsabers.
