My point is that your AOE mez will turn into a waste when the PvP battle is not coordinated, which it almost never is unless it is staged between 2 groups in advance and in a location that is not immediately accessable to outsiders. I don't disagree that MEZ >>> Root.

Be careful with depending on Concussion Shot. The future does not bode well for Roots & Snares.

Yea. I heard that the devs were going to make roots and snares break upon further damage to the target, which would completely NEUTER those specials.
Read me clear here. When Concussion Shot is turned into a mez, then it should break on further damage, but not roots and snares.
As far as depending on Concussion Shot goes... considering that Commando damage sucks, that is pretty much the only useful purpose of the smuggler/commando combo. My own council I will keep on how I use Concussion Shot! *Yoda grin*

In large scale PVP a commando/smuggler throwing out concussion shot has become priceless in my experience. Soon i will be testing my idea of spamming last ditch (what is the timer on LD? 45?) with jedi healing me.if it works, AoE and all, then well... we will have a new FOTM.
Anyone else caring to test try this out. First make sure you eat all the accuracy and actionstuff you can, duel a friend to get your health nice and low,type /wookie, equip a rocket launcher,/kneel,do a /aim followed by /fanshot, equip your lightning rifle or acid launcher, /aim again,/lastditch, have your jedi or doc friends heal. Rinse and repeat every 45 secs or so. Post results here.

First of all, it looks like the elemental damage is only in the AoE, which doesn't take a damage multiplier due to specials like Leg Shot, Body Shot, Last Ditch.
You will only hit your primary target with the Last Ditch, and considering that you're doing it with a commando weapon, don't expect that to do too much damage.

And thus you have discovered the secret to our power. One commando may be a neusance, but put two or three in a group and watch out! And with 8!!! with all sorts of states and power attacks among them!!! Now, if only we could get our AOE do more than apply states, then Commando will be great once again (albiet in mass groups). Of course, it goes without saying that this will immediately be followed up with a massive nerf when a group of 8 Commandos completely destroys a group of 8 Jedi through superior tactics and skillful application of their profession.
This jedi is also a person to. If I see 8 Commandos comming in my direction. I'm goin the other way
that area root and passive state effects of commando are a pain to deal with when you guys roll in bulk. This I know from TC before the CU went live.

CS' only use once it is nerfed is to get away from people...
i believe the combat-commander in the FS village sometimes say that you can get some R&R... i wonder if he meant root & run with that...
