  I just looked at Bandon's lightsaber.  Wowser can that thing do some amazing stuff!  But the Bondar crystal isn't actually that great.  By the time you can get Bandon's lightsaber, a DC 10 saving throw is easy peasy for your enemies.

  Yeah, that's unfortunately true. The reason why I still use Bondar with this build is because there's no reason to use attack/damage boosting crystals when you're exclusively using force powers and never swinging your saber. Then again, if you're never swinging your saber then Bondar will never stung anything. I suppose it ultimately doesn't matter what crystal combination you go with for this build so long as one of the crystals used in Jenruax.

  Yeah, you won't be getting many stuns out of it even if you do use it regularly as a weapon (but even a single stun is devastating if you bring Mission ).  I just looked at Bandon's lightsaber in more detail, and it's an Xbox-specific glitch, so I would just grab MotF and use the two FP regen crystals instead, or a jenruax gives +7 deflection if the defense is still needed.  Sadly another +4 from solari is not available to the Forcemaster because he's a filthy dark sider.

  Edit: Forgot to say, the +7 and +4 blaster deflection would be using Heart of the Guardian.  Mantle of the Force still gives the +7 from jenruax, but the solari adds a large attack bonus and the usual damage against dark siders instead of extra blaster deflect.

  Can you even still get Mantle of the Force on Xbox anymore? I mean, it might have been an awesome coincidence, but I found Heart of the Force crystal in the prologue I believe of KOTOR 2,

  I don't know if it's still possible to get the DLC on Xbox.  It might have become a PC exclusive thing by now, which really sucks, because Tam sells some amazing items.

  Yeah, he does. XBOX live is gone for the original, so now its PC only. Luckily, I have KOTOR 1 and 2 for PC

  So Taris is pretty hard with this build. Do you recommend doing the side quests like arena and bounty hunter quests, or just get off Taris as fast as you can?

  Personally, I went for the sidequests (although I held off for as long as I could on them) but there's no problem with focusing on getting off Taris.

  Maybe I'll wait until I get the Jedi and the wookie and then clean up before I leave. Just me and Carth right now and it's a struggle

  Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what I did back when I played this.
