Are these working for anybody. I tried them on about everythingthat packs last night. OnNaboo.And the only one to take damage was the one i was shooting at. Everyone else got the weak DOTs. Is this anewchanage. Or is it a bug.

Yes, it's fine for me, I burned about 7 STs that entered an NPC guild hall in Kor Vella, then another group of 8 that came in after them.

For me, it has always been that my target takes primary damage and the others in the cone (the secondary targets)only acquire DoTs, I've never seen the "secondary targets" get the full brunt of the special.

I find that about half of the "peripheral" tagets take actual damage with the dot. So I suppose that's inline with our normal accuracy anyways.

There is a VERY narrow cone area for this to work. I think i saw someone say about 45 degrees directly in front of you. I've never had much luck with it, but have seen the "miss" note come up as well as have it work so it appears it's just very fickle. If you can get the mob's to chase you they tend to line up and all come from the same direction, that seems to work the best for a mid combat tactic.

Has anyway noticed if we get XP for DoT now? The patch notes said DoT is now considered in loot permissions but nothing about XP.



Jedi will be rare and difficult - No
Increased Dev communication - No
CU will balance combat - No
Most of the bugs from launch fixed - No
saintchuck will continue to pay - No

- I supported the CURB, the Devs and the attempt to make SWG a better game and have realized it didn't work so I'm quitting in less than 2 days and won't be tricked into coming back again. Trick me once, shame on you...

Im capped on xp for HWs so I dont know, all I know is I used it a few times today on some rebel NPCs and only one time did I hit a secondary target with the initial damage and that was because there were 3 of them right on top of each other in a door way. Primary target took full damage, second target took half damage, 3rd target only got the DoT.

All my flames have became EXTREMELY weak since the patch; where i used to burn for 1200 to a 1000, now only burns from 200 to 550.

Im not sure if this is how it is, but when i use cone 2(didnt use cone 1 much). i first have a tight group of people, then i target the guy the back, and it seems to get everyone that is in the way of the flame... if that makes sense

The Flame Cone has a chance to his every target in its field of fire. Your targets also have a chance to move out of the way of it. I have seen alot of my targets Miss out on the first damage part but, have the flame tick on them. so later on it start to tick away thier life. The damage depends on the resists Your target has. I seen my ticks range from 500 to 3k on a targets. So, I guess its all random damage as well

Yeah, targetting the thing at the back usually works best. Though I reckon that things at different heights mess Cone up...

I dont know about you but ive hit 11 things with one cone2 before, i have screenshots.



I use cone all the time and i love it, it has like a rly close range to it though.To hit anything other then what your shooting at. It seems if your close to the person or critter your shooting at the cone goes about 8-10 meters farther to hit stuff, in a cone obviously.


Cone2 is the only thing ill use in pvp, i usualy seem to hit quate a few people sometimes, sometimes none, but i have hit 11 people with cone2 in pvp several times.


Bigjimmy, Sunrunner, M.Commando all the way,,,UUUUUAAAAAHHHH!!!!



Everyones a hero of there own story!
