If you want pity from me you won't get it. I'm a pistoleer/be two of the worst profs right now. Pistoleer is broken beyond belief and BE has been nerfed down to nothing.
Let's see, you know why they made it so people could db when you FD? because people were exploiting it to avoid death. Why does last ditch has a high ham cost? read the description, it even says that its a powerful attack that a smuggler should use only when backed in a corner, and it will take a lot out of the smuggler. Don't tell me about the HAM costs, or they should change it, because it's how it's supposed to be. Spice is useful to many people to get out of a jam, and if there wasn't slicing then weapons and armor would be a lot worse than they are.
And let's see, as for pistoleer, we only have 2 specials worth using. One of them is actually decent, fan shot, and that's our only good attack. The other one is a weak knockdown attack from MELEE range, that i can assure you is weaker than low blow. Half of the rest are entirely useless, and the other half are weaker than letting the thing attack without specials. The only good thing about pistoleer IMO is the resists to states, but they are only +40 and aren't that useful unless stacked.
And now, BE. We are almost entirely useless. No one wants pets anymore, they're too weak, been nerfed down. Even BE pets that are better than wild are in very low demand. The only BE pets I ever see sell is the uber 3-5K HAM cl10 ones for non ch people, and even then it's not that often.
So yea, I play two of the most botched professions in the game, both worse off than yours.
this guy has some nerve... maybe im off base....what do yall think?

I also think this is a good time for a free clicky
And neither of those profs has anything on us in terms of how they've been treated by the devs.
He does have a point about both his classes being pretty busted, but I don't get that kind of pissing contest response. Is he trying to say smuggler is NOT pretty broken? That we DON'T have it pretty bad? You can make a case that other professions can make a run at us in terms of who's got it worse, but big deal. That's not the point. Point is, it's about time us dregs of the galaxy--all of us--see a little love.
It seems to me that apart from the basic crafting or direct combat/healing profesions, anything with "roleplay content" e.g. ranger, smuggler, squad leader are somewhat lacking, and this is a problem with the game overall - which seems to be (IMO) improving at the moment
