Thread: Tired of the Deathblow timer......
If they are going to make us sit through a 3-5 second deathblow timer, there should be some kind of cool deathblow tha happens. Think about the name!!! Death....blow.... meaning that you just incapped the poor sap. Now you need to apply the killing blow or shot to them. I want to see some Mortal Combat finishing moves!
I'm a rifleman... when I deathblow somoene, I'd like to walk up, stick the barrel into their mouth or under their chin, and make their head explode.
I'd like to see a swordsman decapitate someone as a finishing move.
Or a combat medic turn someone into a rithing puddle of infectious waste!
Never happen..... but I can dream!

You can also get the cybernetic arm with the ranged deathblow. Won't matter how far they slide with lag, but you will sacrifice some armor.
Ranged deathblow has never seemed to work for me. I cannot fire it while the mark is incapped, and it does not seem kill them when at low health, only incap. It's contrary to the description of the item however. Wonder if they intended this, or if it's a bug. Us riflemen were upset when they took away our /snipershot deathblow.... but they replaced it with a devasting damage special. I'd rather have the /snipershot deathblow though since the practicality of using /sniper in combat against a Jedi just isn't there. It's best used as a first strike weapon unless you have a root in your template.

if theres a incap, check their exact health..you'll see it counting up from at max -100 to 0...thats how u tell when incap running out
thanks for the tip, I never knew that. I agree with the other poster about a cool DB animation. There should be something cool that happens like if you have a ranged weapon they get a shot to the head while lyng down and if its a melee weapon they do some sort of cool spin move then drive the weapon into thier chest. it would be cool to see

I think it sux , they should be able to make bounty hunter timers go faster. I see others timers kill my mark before mine! and i hit it quick-placed a macro on it. I do think the timer varys in speed depending on your profession. I could be wrong on it but thats my personal opinion. I see jedis timers go really fast, im not sure if their is a exploit out their to bypass timers or what but im see people get DB'd in like 3 seconds

Figures...
Another neat and useful feature that doesn't work or do what its supposed to.

Hehe, that made me chuckle. One question though, do you wear a black trenchcoat to school?
Wow.... Now THAT made ME chuckle!
Seriously though. I know those examples I gave are a bit extreme, but if there is a deathblow timer, there should be some sort of animation involved with it based on your profession. It doesn't exactly have to be gorey, but I can't see how it wouldn't be.
