How often have you experienced the Slice breaking, causing the weapon/armor to be unusable? I suspect it doesn's happen as often as it should. The benefits of having a weapon or armor 100% sliced should result in a fairly frequent failure rate, requiring a Smuggler to repair the item. Which should translate to needing to have an ADKd weapon re-sliced/repaired often (since Slice failure has nothing to do with condition reduction).
Now when Smugglers finallly get Smuggler missions, should they get Slicing Components for their loot? Right now there is a cross-profession dependancy - we have something they need and will buy from us, and they have skills that wee need and will pay for. I wouldn't mind seeing us BH keep the Smuggler loot, and Smugglers getting CAs/AAs as well as the Spices that are suppsoes to become loot-only items.
Slice breakage is non-existant. The devs decided that feature of slicing wasn't worth it and left it out, however the description remains in the game stating the "risk" of getting a slice done.
I don't mind BH missions dropping Smuggler loot. Then again I went MBH/MSM for better game content, the loot's a nice bonus
Though personally if I had Smuggler missions I'd probably take on a more conventional Smuggler template.
You have actually made my point. Slices were not supposed to be one-time things like the previous system. Even if you had an ADK on a weapon or armor, a slice was suppsoed to make it better but carry a risk of failure - but not permanent damage. Having sliced weapons and armor should have meant that we would need back-up weapons and armor in case something failed, and then we would need a Smuggler to get things back to normal...an ongoing process where we are routinely searching out a smuggler to maintain the added advantage of having the slice - risk versus reward.
If Slicebreakage did occur, then I bet the Sliceing components we loot would never last very long, and people would have to really think about whether the benefits of having a sliced weapon or armor was worth the risk of it failing during combat. It would have added a level of thoguht and risk to any fight, as we hoped and prayed that our gun wouldnt jam while fighting a Jedi, and that the Armor Break slice would hold jsut long enough to get thru this one last battle.

Yeah, BH's really got the shaft when it comes to loot. Yeah, sure, it's the only profession that can generate missions that even has a chance of elite loot, but it's not dropping precisely what is wanted every single time, so let's get that fixed. You can help. For just 4M credits a day, you can help a starving BH. These poor people have suffered, and there are some BH's walking around in armor below RIS, some that don't have skill tapes and ADK's on every piece yet, a few without it all sliced. *shudder*. Along with your donation, you'll receive period screenshots of your sponsored BH, along with a 4337 speak translation guide to explain that allows you to understand things you see in the screenshot such as "OMFG I pwnzored joo!" Won't you help?

Did u even read the original post?? or did u just figure u would post something negative for the hell of it. The original poster didnt say I wish I could always get the sper elite loot all the time cause its so hard, he said I wish I could get anything other than smuggler loot, and he specifically stated that he didnt really care if it was elite loot. Please people read (if u can) b4 u post.
