first strike is pretty much the only way, make a macro for it so that when it blows, you can shoot off your highest damage specials hoping to incap the jedi before he even realizes he's under attack

too bad they didnt make those big number countdown before they blow up, that usually gives it away

if you are about to kd him and you have him maybe 3/4 health down you can get it to wrk, just make sure you have the bomb droid hidden behind a building or something

I always find em most useful in ambush first strike.....Since I am freelance and unattached to the GCW my droids always look white. I never name em so they always just have an innocuous title like An R2 Unit...

I used to leave them somewhere where the jedi is going to go, mission or ticket terms are good... You can juggle things sometimes so the droid is hidden by the term....I have used mouse droids (less damage) under mission terms and R3 in ticket terms....

I then put myself somewhere discreet like the nearest public building or cover somewhere nearby if you are rifle man....If you set the timer and hit a knockdown attack at 2 seconds then you maximize damage...

you mean when countdown is at 2 sec?

I've yet to use one in combat and let me explain why (within this rant is a tip, trust me)

Do you have an example of the macro? I was thinking of putting the droid on follow then KD'ing the jedi and then snare (no root)

I managed to use one for my first kill, went very well. I saw my mark was heading back into the townI was in, soI took my helmet off, gun away, and ran aroundthis jedi-padi grinding town acting like i was trying to train a stupid med-droid (one nice part of a new toon is that a lot of people will look at the bio and go 'ahh, stupid noob' and promptly ignore me, i'll trade passing respect from others i won't meet in real life for times like this anyday). I have a med-droid that looks almost identical to the bomb droids i use, so i just swapped it out when the time was right. So when the jedi started their ritual /hug/lick/grope crap, i drug it over by them with the timer going, threw on my gear, managed to get perfect timing on the knockdown right after the bomb, 4 shots and my pvp rating finally got back over 1200. The droids arent easy to use, but they shouldnt be, make it almost too easy.

i dont bothre using bomb droids id rather use a combat medic droid 35% more healing and 100 damge a second, there awesome, my droid actually incapped 2 jedi yesterday

I dont bother with bomb droids , I only use combat droids, they are very useful if your target goes into water , which a lot of mine seem to do, i got one about 2 days ago, my driod incapped him in the middle of the water when he was trying to get away, and i just /deathblow. 226k sweet lol
