That stun baton is nothing, look at this one, buddy of mine looted the bones the other day and got our guildmaster to craft the baton, also we got the best smuggler on Valcyn to give it a 34% damage slice, which was awesome. Anyways, enjoy (not photoshopped, entirely legit). http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=70871

Man, they jumped all OVER Dragon in that thread! Is there an FS thread for removing the flamethrower from the game too? Yikes! I thought Jedi were supposed to be the honorable bunch in Star Wars.

As much as I hate the ease of grinding with grenades, I think in some way it gives the player who does it that way some false hope that grinding Jedi will be that easy as well. Then theyobtain Jedi, and are handed a rude awakening and realize they litterally have 4 months (or more of grinding) to finish their template. That is, without the "benefit" of something like the Endor/Geo Cave overspawn.

Man, another nerf the commando thread? When we're already one of the worst PvP professions in the game?


BAH!


BTW, Xix, when was the last time you met a non-ganking jedi?

what i dislike is this... "Grenades exp" ..yes...well.. so i can grind commando for ..massive amounts of combat exp only to then grind for...grenades exp... i can see how this makes perfect sense


Comabat is in all combat oriented Elite profs and i think we can be assured that it will stay


if this didtn make sense, its b/c i just woke up

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 think lightsaber-size-comparing contests you two started in that thread aren't really the proper way to get attention to a specific profession's problems - especially since most of the players already know that Smugglers can't smuggle, and that it is one of the silliest and most disappointing things in SWG. There are other professions and they have their problems - that's why we have specific profession Correspondents instead of the Almighty Correspondent God who only listens to those people who somehow prove they need the most attention. (well, it might seem that it is so sometimes.. )

I also think this is a good time for a free clicky

That's something of a crock. A good BE is coveted by his ability to make chef and tailor stuff and can make a fair profit if he's any good at all, particularly considering how rare they are, so it's not like they do absolutely nothing. And I think we have a pretty good idea about pistoleer, considering most of us have been one and all our combat specials are pretty lame without some of their mods.

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.

yeah - my brother is a BE and has been for nearly a year now. He loves the profession, the complexities of creating recipes for new animals, and is in great demand for chef and tailor additives (and is now quite wealthy because of that)

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
