im deffinatly going AS, im grinding slowly but surely, but would it be worth it to go master smuggler, so i can pre-slice all of my armor, my main is mbh, so getting
slicing stuff isnt to big of a problem, but can i even achive as/smuggler/ some merchant... and is it even worth it..
and one have any feedback, input, ideas, thoughts... please post htem here...thanks

The great thing about this game is that you can pretty much do whatever combination you want. I think your template there is a great idea. Not only do you slice your armor, but you can also get factional armor without having to buy points off of a smuggler. Well, I guess you can do the same thing in space w/o a smuggler, but it makes it that much easier. I like the idea. Plus, you will have a CL and not have to worry about a lv 18 butterfly chasing you around your shopincapping you.

It is a nice idea, i do see 2 things you are going to have to worry about.
1: getting slicing components, since these are loots now you wont be able to acquire the quantity the quantity you would need to slice all of your components.
2: there are a lot of different types of slices now, no longer can oyu just give them all an effectiveness slice and throw em on the vendor. Some people want armor break, some want hardening and yet others want the decay reduction. Although you could just offer slicing on any custom order for a fee, that would probably go over very well.
the best part though, CL 54 WOOT.
I hate Vortitors, really really hate them, yet they seem to like my factories.

i just had this combo myself and found it not to be the best thing in the world anymore. Pre CU yeah that would have been a really good combo but with all the different types of slices there are now it is nearly impossible to keep up with things as well as loot. I am a firm believer of making myself self sufficiant. I went back MAS, MMERCH, TAILOR 0/3/1/0, Master Artisan. The other thing the 30% reduction in cost is good however unless you are a human the combo is still going to be a little pricy.

I'm AS+ MS and I like. I 'm human and dealing with imperial armor, so it's a great advantage really. Other great thing is that I have CL55 and can wear some of my armor

I have MAS/MSMUG/Artisan 4x42/Merchant xxx3
My main in a Jedi
and hes alt is MRanger/MBH/SLx4xx
So just about all my play has been in direct support of my AS.
I keep questioning myself about making my MAS a full crafter again,
because I find myself not using the smugler side that much. Maybe
finding a Smugler friend to help me when I need it in that department
might be feesable.

Smuggler is a good choice for something that gives you combat level and some practical benefits. For me, it's the ease of buying faction points that made me go smuggler. I'm 4440 smuggler (level 41), not master because I also wanted 0004 merchant. I haven't had too many requests for slicing, however, the most popular slice hands down is armor break.

I plan on going MAS/MS/4000 merchant.
My plan is to slice each piece of armor I make 25% ab resist (takes no components), then throw it up on the vendor. I think it will attract some serious attention.

I'm pretty sure that one of the next publishes should make it impossible to put sliced goods on a vendor - my plan is to stock up on faction points and then drop smuggler to free up some skillpoints.
