Were you wearing armor that you put on when you had buffs, but don't have buffs anymore?

Whoops, my noobness is showing through about the wrong Prof for feign death
I wasn't buffed (but yes, I haven't bothered getting a stat migration so If I need to change my armour I do need a buff), being part Medic I'm used to doing missions without buffs (my missions are only between 6 & 8k though, however I haven't used it yet while buffed on Dant for 27k missions, it's only my 2nd day with it.) and don't usually have to keep too much of an eye on my HAM,i was wearing comp armour at the time.

Thanks to everyone for your advice, though

"1. A statement warning people about the huge HAM cost's using the LLC."
Your LLC must've been made with a formfitted stock and scope, I have 3 different types of LLCs: 2.8 speed sliced, 1002 damage sliced and 985 damage sliced, the 1002 one has +55 accuracy and when I shoot it unbuffed it costs me -123 ham (I think costs are 57/78/50), the others has only +20 and +21 accuracy and costs me -65'ish ham. But damn my 2.8 speed at LLC 4 is FREAKIN' fast!
If you think LLCs kill you, try carbines.

the AR is, well, lets face it it's a giant snot throwing gun (I may as well pick my nose, run up to the enemy and rub my booger on them).
This might be both the funniest and the most accurate descriptionof the HAR ever.

Oh yeah, on a side note when shopping for LLCs, don't buy ones with 100+ action costs.
Well, this is kinda embarassing. I've had the LLC for quite a few months now. Way back when I started the game and was climing the Master Marksman profession, I came across this person with a cool gun and he was doing a ton of damage, compared to me. I asked him what it was, and he told me it was an LLC. I worked as hard as i could and saved up my credits, then I went looking for one of these LLC's.After hunting high and low I finallyfound one I could afford and was so pleased with myself and thought I was a force to be reckoned with. When I armed myself with it, I got a message telling me I lacked the skills to use it, I was thought to myself "What?, how can this be? I'm almost a Master Marksman"
I asked around and found out about weapon cert's and that the LLC was for BH, I was devistated. So it sat in my small Naboo house that I bought for 6k on some distant planet that I was alsoso proud of, until a couple of days ago. To be honest, when I picked it up all I looked at was the speed and damage stats, confirming that I'm still a noob after all this time

I came over from BH and upon using the FT found the HAM costs to be very "refreshing". I had become so used to the LLC costs and took them as standard. It became a necessity when using LLC specials to back it up with Novice Medic w/ Pharma 4 (Stim Ds) and I had to typically pop a Stim-D after about 5-6 LLC Single 2. With my speed sliced FT I find that my HAM costs are a lot lower (firing FlameSingle 2 makes very little dents). But I'm still so attached to my LLC as I found high-level Mobs are typically less resistance to electricity then to heat.
The LLC does have some advantages for me in that I can hit with more accuracy and with greater power using standard shots as an Avenger (BH 0 0 0 4). In regards to speed I'm doing 3 LLC shots to the time it takes to get 2 FT shots off and I'm doing this as a Shock Trooper (Commando 0 0 4 0). The LLC is great for kiting because of the speed andbetter accuracy (Consider 10 LLC shots at 1k-1.2k each compared to 7 FT shots at 800-900 before they break 16m). When it comes to close in I'll switch back to FT (if the heat resistance is low or vulnerable) and start cycling through the DoTs starting with FlameSingle 2.
I'm currently BH 2-1-1-4, Commando 2-3-4-0, Novice Medic 0-0-4-0.The though of losingmy LLC skillsis not very appealing. I'm at a quandry rightnow as towhither to advance to masterinCommando or to rebuild in BH.In the present state going MBH and keeping Commando 0 0 4 0 is a no brainer under the current"rules"... but whatwill thepre-revamp andre-vamp hold for Commando? I'd like to keep going and be a Master Commando but the current brokeness of the profession (Grenades, HeavySupportWeapons, HAR)and the uncertainty doesn't make it look very profitable or fun.

The problem is the weapon switch delay... say you hit him for 2000 damage.... when you switch=DEAD!!!!

No need to switch weapons on unarmed Jedi, just keep shooting that LLC http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=109933

get some FAST tissues, an imperial formfitted stock, and a regular barrel (they're 0.1s faster), add a +41 scope and you're done...
If you have any SP left, get some FSmelee speed boxes, it works with the LLC
My puppy is 2s 820max +90 accuracy, I fire single2 close to the speedcap (1.2-1.25s)

^ EXTEMELY helpful right there. Thanks a bunch. One q, you get the imperial stock from the imp themepark right?
Also, i think I know the answer to this, but can you do any other specials with the LLC besides the singles and cones?
Thanks!

you can do the marksman specials from the ranged support line, at full range:
overchargeshot1/2, surpression fire (post down), Threaten shot, Warning shot
It's pretty cool to post down someone with an LLC

Alright I am making my alt a MBH/TKA 4x3x and some medic.
I plan to use a LLC as my weapon of choice, and I want the best money can buy.
Problem is, I have no idea what constitutes this, as I am new to BH.
Would you kind folks tell me what would be an uber llc(best money can buy)?
Thanks in advance.
