I have found that staff is definitely more powerful but harder to learn to control. Dual (2) sabers is great when there are lots of combatants. I prefer the staff though. :)

yes I feel the same about dual
rather wild to control

tried slashing at reborns in SP but each time the damage is different

my guess is sometime both saber hit and other times only 1 touched him

At the very moment I saw SW: episode 1 I knew the staff was going to be it for me if it ever got incorporated in a game. And here it is. So therefore I use. Somehow I never get the grip of dual sabers, they don't feel right.

I am tryin to use staff myself, but it is tough if you don't want to use it lame, ie little to no butterflying, because it has not the porew of red and few speacials, so it takes a bit of work to master. Duals are also difficult to learn, but equaly as good/fun, jsut pick to one you like, thats what I did. I like staff, even if it don't like me.

Those that know me, know I've said this time and time again, I've been a staff user since jk3 came out and joined the academy. From what I've seen of duel, it's just chaos when swinging, besides Zoro, I've not really seen one who's got it down to a science. Staff I've seen many great staffers, and it has a natural flow that goes with it, if your not spamming katas and the like. I'll say staff is the way to go.

Actually, Frosty, choosing between dual sabers or saber staff depends on your inclination between offense or defense. In offensive power, the saber staff, used properly, has the highest attack power and the greatest chance for a hit. However, the dual sabers offer a far better defense, when used correctly. Think about this, then decide which choice suites you best.

And I'm so agreed with Janus.
I used single and now I'm trying to familiarize with staff, tbh because I liked how easily Maul hacked Qui-Gon and almost Obi-Wan too;) (I feel it sooo fake tho about that last move Obi-wan did in Episode 1.:O). I guess the general opinion is that dual are pretty defensive while staff is a bit offensive. Don't mind about the special moves, they're easily counterable with a lunge or a rolling stab. It's just a matter of taste, but staff looks sooooo cool:D

Take care, and hope we'll meet on servers.:)

This is an agrument that will always be back and forth and is only truly settled when an agreement will be made that it isn't the saber, but the one controlling it that makes the difference....

Learn how to use a single saber first, all of the stances. You don't have to be great with it but a basic working knoledge of all the stances will allow you to use the staff or dual sabers to their full potential, seeing as how they both go back to a single saber.

I use dual.

Well if I had to choose between a staff or dual sabers, I would go for a staff. Basically because you can control it more then dual sabers. (dual saber is just hacking away a bit and timing those hacks to not get hit yourself) but a single saber still rocks the most to my opinion :)
