not in the ega yet, and didnt get to play the beta, but was wondering what the best skills for a jedi knight/sentinel would be. i was thinking about focusing mainly on lightsaber damage and wasnt able to find any post in here related to the same thing. cant wait to play!!!

thanks for any info

if you want to be able to make crystals etc for lightsabers you want to take artifice as your crafting skill, then archeology and... I forgot the other one that feeds it but yeah there are many posts around that give the information you are looking for.

 

EDIT: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=530 there is a good guide here.

Well I wanted to do crafting lightsaber parts, so I have archeology (for getting crystals, etc.) and artifice. Does treasure hunting help crafting artifice? It seems like crafting only really needs one skill to get stuff...

You will need items from treasure hunting whicih you cant get from archaeology, if you want to be able to make everything from artifice without buying any mats. However, most of the items don't require the special mats from what ive seen.
