I picked up Smuggler 0004 for now because I can alternate Root and Snare. From what I have heard about Last Ditch I am not too excited about it. Feign Death isn't my style either

last ditch is the TRUE last ditch... jedi call it the Jedi-Slayer(that's why some already whine for a nerf)


if ur low VERY low on health(around 5% for instance) use it and u will do loads of dmg IF(!!!) it hits. drawbacks: it sets ur health to a minimum(below 10) and also drains the 2 other bars, so it is not used lightly, but truely as a final attempt to get out of there with your life.


the more wounded you are, the more damage you do. some smugglers have instant-killed a jedi with it, but that was after they got the crap kicked out of them. with this move, timing is everything


it's my favorite move in the smuggler's tree now. not my most used by far, but still quite usefull when in peril.

I am liking 4000 smuggler over 0004 pistoleer for a few reasons. Concusion shot seems to be reuseable sooner than stopping shot. Smuggler 4000 has general ranged weapon mods, which stack with Commando heavy weapons, unlike pistoleer mods which are pistol only. Also, last ditch is in 4000 which adds more versitility than fan shot, since BH already has spray shot and commando has AoE -- or so we hopefully will someday.

Granted, if concusion shot is going to change its workings someday, then pistoleer might be what I switch over to.


On a related note, I was wondering what pistols you get at 0004 pistoleer and what you get at 4000 smuggler. Since they took out all info on weapon certs in the skills window, its hard to keep track of stuff. I don't envy any grinders these days, as they have no idea what new weapons they can use when they pick up a new box.
