I've been searching the CM forum but between search being down and the specific nature of my question I haven't been able to find the info. So...


I just came back tothe game a couple of weeks ago asa Master Smuggler/Master BH. Since I came back after the CU, I didn't get in on the respec. So I was happy to receive the token respec, however this meant I couldn't try before I buy, so to speak. I love Smuggler so I wanted to kept that but BH was getting boring since I had no desire to hunt jedi. I was always intrigued with CM so now I'm a Smuggler/CM. This is great except, unless I'm missing something, I have no more offense!


I've been trying to find a guide to playing a CM but have had no luck. Just so I'm understanding this correctly, if I do a deuterium toss is it normal to only do 200-300 points per tick? That seems quite low. Is there an enhancement I can buy/use to do more damage?Could any of youlist your 5 most common skills that you use in nearly every fight (PvE or PvP, though I mostly do PvE)? Are any of you Smuggler/CM? If so, any suggestions on playing this template?


I realize BH would've been better in terms of maintaining my offensive firepower but I just couldn't give upSmuggler for some reason. I've always related to it and wouldn't feel right not being one.


Thanks in advance for any help.

That's about right, enhancers can add more to the tick but it seems random.

I use all the CM abilities, they are all useful. Top 5 would be Electrolyte Drain, Shock, Deuterium Toss Enhancer and Neurotoxin Enhancer.

The pistol correspondant is smelly and so is some guy named Xil. I swear, they give us our own pistol and some newcorro camps on our side of the forum. No cookies for joo!


Go with rifleman. If you want the root you should have points left over to get it. The snipershot is still good even though they are sorta nerfing it.... *grumble

Heheh, unfortunately for you I've been a CM since I started playing SWG so you'll have to put up with me being here for the forseable.

CM/Pistols is good, but CM/TK is excellent if you are very group orientated. With the right food, you can now tank lots of creatures and heal indefinitely. And of course, you can last forever in PVP if you know what you are doing. Damage is not great though, but it's decent with some Katarn Knucklers.

Still, CM/TK is a fun and flexible combo.

Either is good.
