Got 1 of the new rocket launchers finally (thanks Zina). Went out to hunt my favorite mob on Corellia for hw xp, war grondas (2480xp, 3k when grouped). So I am doing them 2 at a time with the launcher pistol, using pistoleer and smuggler specials and take a few RL shots in between. Even though they are slow, I still miss alot ( only have hw1) so I decide to only shoot them when they spawn from the lair and lay down. So I take a single shot on the lair with the launcher and \peace. 1 war gronda spawns next to the lair, on it's side, so I que up the RL. Blammo, hits for 4.5k. I am estatic. So it tries to get up, I take another shot, buyaka, another 4k hit and dead gronda. While laughing, I see4 more grondas apear and now I am on the good foot trying to run and figure out **edit** is going on. So I kill these 4 using the aforementioned tactics. So I go back to the single shot, hit the spawn with RL technique. This time same results, a high dmg hit and 2 more grondas spawn. This time a lag warp happens and before you know it, they are on me deathblowing me. I am like **edit**!! So I am about /bug this thing when I decide to look at the combat tab and there I see what was so obvious.Since the war gronda was close to the lair when it spawned that the lair took the dmg as well since it was in the blast radius. The combat tab showed 2 shots for identical dmg on thelair and the war gronda with the same timestamp.I read somewhere that radius dmg didnt work so I didnt expect it to happenbut belive you me, it is in there.

Yeah happen to me with grenades a few times, toss one in a group your fighting and you get nice added bonus of being beaten up by anything else that just happend to walk by or whatnot.

At least you didn't blow yourself up. Note: I have not blown myself up.... just hurt myself a bit.

I'm still wondering why you're using a 30 charge wep on war gondas?? Those things are precious! Once that ore is used up on Naritus you won't be seeing too many of those around.

I use the RL and HPC on grondas for practice for when I get ready to tackle At-St. Not to brag but I have a ton of credits so the 80K i paid for the RL doesnt bother me and I got plenty of the HPCs. I just wanted to see the if the skill mods where working too. At HW1 I should have +40 speed/accuracy with RL and +15 with HPC so I wanted to compare the hit miss ratios of both with little dangers to myself but still get good xp for using them.

ahh...good answer.


I'm thinking to try them on a kimo, but after I build up the accuracy a bit. No AT-ST's until they remove blast defenses and keep them from lighting on fire.
