I play on TLJ (The Last Jedi) roleplaying server ... yea. Well anyways, I was wanting a build that had really nice will saves (Some of the highest will I've seen on the server is like ... 90 so yea ...) but really really good at PvP and PvM. The server is supposed to get nerfed, which would mean it would be -alot- better for a caster to come along, but until then, stuff like harm 'n' the like -sucks- due to negative immunity percentages 'n' the like ... Anyone have an idea? Most used are atleast some levels of monk, so if one could straggle from such a thing for uniqueness, that would be a plus, and also there are no prestige limits, so prestiges are alright!

Crazy saves huh? that one sure works at saves. If it's only Will save you might want Cleric or Druid with lots of WIS, probably with Monk and CoT but probably nothing compares to the CHA based Paladin X / Blackguard X / CoT 30 after all, not too bad when you activate Divine Wrath, but other than that it might not be a really good PvP build.

Mages are generally good for the technical side of resisting spells and DC spells because of protection from alignment, mindblank, clarity, spell mantle etc etc etc...
If these are scripted will saves you have to save against than I'm afraid nothing short of the actual will can help, in which case the paladin/bg/cot gets the best of.
Why try to make a Will save when you don't have to?
A Shifter has forms that are immune to Mind affecting Spells.
Mind Flayer, Undead Shapes, Construct Shapes.
Druids have their Elemental Shapes that are immune as well.
Level 7 Palemaster gets immunity to Stun, Hold Monster/Person and Paralyzation.

What type of effect are you trying to protect yourself from?
I don't know if the OP is still around, but here is a build that might fit nicely into the Sith Lord type of roll. Starting good and falling into evil ... you know, the typical cliche.
I tried to build it as a spellsword (heavy on spell), using Paladin and Blackguard to boost saves, as per your request. They aren't as good as the aforementioned Pal/COT/BG, but if you are prepared, your Sorc buffs will handle quite a bit things that are thrown at you even before you require a save.
If you could do with weaker saves, I would consider dropping the paladin for 4 levels of RDD or perhaps Bard for Tumble and Bard Song.
Anyway, I played a variant (Fighter-Cleric-Sorc) through the Lords of Darkness mod, and it performed pretty well. You might consider Longsword and shield for extra AC. It should work fine for PvM, but you will end up falling back on Spells for PvP (Timestop, IGMS, etc.). Of course, I don't PvP often, so take it with a grain of salt.
Oh, and this is a bit of a pain to level until around 10 or so. Also, I just built this on paper, so I'm not sure eveything is correct.
but probably nothing compares to the CHA based Paladin X / Blackguard X / CoT 30 after all, not too bad when you activate Divine Wrath, but other than that it might not be a really good PvP build.
