Just checked....its viable., I guess if you added a couple of medic skills to it it'd be pretty good....what, you going for the Han/Boba cross-breed

that wouldnt be to bad, just give smugglers some major content, like, getting a quest off of a NPC that keeps giving more missions to smuggler different things every patch. that way its interesting, and you get good loot and experiance. it wouldnt be to bad at all, and make the smugglers better in a fight so bounty hunters could hunt them.

that would be pretty cool to slice your own weapons and make your own spices

Hadn't thought of that, was thinking more of an 'underworld' character.

Plus I'm not interested in simple 'uber' or FOTM templates, just to win against Jedi, I want to have a bit of fun while I'm doing it. Used to have Rifles 4400 so I could stalk more effectively but it broke so easily in places like Dant it was basically a waste of SP.

I've played this template, was master smuggler and went BHto stock up onslice loot. I worked up the invest tree ok, was able to take down npc marks, and I used this temp to do a lot of the quests. I think the template may be underpowered for PvP. You get Overwhelming shot, which reduces yourtarget's ability toresist states, so that works nicely with confusion shot / eye shot and itshould stick a lot more often.The Smuggler root/snare typeshots, Concussion and Panic, break on damage though it does give you a window to heal / rebuff etc, and if you are facing multiple mobs, confusion willstop themattacking you so you can concentrate on taking one down at a time.Last Ditch is a very powerful shot if you can time it right.

Don't expect to beat a lot of jedi with that template... I used to be MBH / Smuggler and I did fine in PvE most of the time, but I just didn't have enough healing to do good in PvP.

Then Pub 24 came, and I felt weak all over again even in PvE. Smuggler is just weak, as much as I hate to admit it. I don't see how they can justify calling it a combatprofessionlooking at the weak defense you get out of it. Feels more like a crafting profession with a couple mezz shots.... so I'm turning my smuggler into an armorsmith... then maybe I'll try to unlock toon slot #2 and grind a real combat toon.

Smuggler mezzes are useless onhigh end PvE, because most things over level 80 are immune. Why they had to nerf one of the weakest combat professions in the game, I'll never know.

Viable in what?

Jedi VS BH, not too viable

Although Ive heard some crazy things about SL buffs + last ditch

Thanks guys, some pretty useful replies in there cheers.

I think I might just go back to the MBH.MPist temp I used to have, maybe with 4xxx in the smuggler for last ditch.

What I'd really like to see is the removal of the master prof box, perhaps with a corresponding increase in the xp needed to get each box in a tree. Allow for truly diverse templates and unique characterisation.

Cheers
