I have found, especially recently, that the triple master template of Master Smuggler, Master Pistoleer and Master Teras Kasai Artist with good Doc-Buffs are GREAT for PVE.

But against other players, you don't stand a chance. Ever. At all. Unless by some sheer form of luck.

Hopefully though that will change soon.

Not a problem for me as PvE is my main focus. If I ever get caught with a TEF after a faction mission (I'm a covert - very cover - Rebel, by the way), or in some other way get into combat with a player (other than voluntary duels), I have failed as a Smuggler and "got caught". If I "get caught", that's what Feign Death is for.

Now, that doesn't mean this won't change for me in the future, but that's my stance at the moment.

Welcome.

Ya, I was kinda sick of my template too....Master Smug, Master Merchant, and some pistoleer and medic. Well, I've decided to drop the merchant, and go TKM. And boy o boy, I must say that I am having a lot more fun. The Sumggler specials are pretty weak by themselves, as I'm sure you know, but when you combine them with some combat professions, it's killer. Look out, Triple master here I come.

That build looks great to me, I went triple master once myself, I couldn't stand the loss of medic

If you have gone through the guides in the 'Important Links' thread that is stickied at the top, I'd say you are ready for just about anything that is out there.

Things may change with the revamp (Hopefully they will) but I think you will do just fine

Welcome aboard and thanks

Thank you!!That link helped me allot. I decided to go with TKM. One more question for all of you though. I want to do Master Dancer and TKM but how would you advise me to set up my stats? What i'm looking to keep enough points in the action stats to be able to do at least one buff in the 3 minute 20 second time frame and put the rest into Mind stats for TK. Any ideas?

Are you human? Basically any other race besides human needs to have a buff (doctor or accaragm) to do this. Probably if you can max out your quickness you should be fine. Throw the rest into mind related pools. Personally, as a Twi'lek TKM/Dancer, I max mind as much as possible and then just keep a fresh supply of accaragm for when I dance.

I'm currently a smuggler (I have been for about 8 months now) and I'm considering keeping TKM, dropping smuggler, and going for Master Ranger. I think if I do this, the thing I'll miss the most is the smuggler community. How is the ranger community? Do you generally look out for eachother like smugglers do? I'm a Wookiee and I think it'd have great roleplaying value if I was a ranger. I like the "living off of the land" idea. Any way, thanks for reading this.

The Ranger community is pretty excellent, actually.

Do we look out for each other, well, yeah! Have a look through the posts in the forum on the state of the profession (our corry has neatly bundled everything in stickies cos we lose stuff round here), then a look at proposals such as The Outdoorsman, The Ranger Hat and the ongoing discussion about who/what/where there should be a Great Ranger Meet.

I know only of one other profession that regularly has a cross server meetup for its members where folk will generate a newbie toon and just go play for the heck of it

Oh, and we like wookiees. They're good for keeping the bothan away from the punch bowl
