Alot of nice stuff...

I'magainst the change to Panic Shot though...

As it does damage, you make it effectively worthless if we accidently doubletap the special, as some mobs affected by it, would no longer be.

There is also a fundamental differance in actionbetween someone yelling at you, and someone shooting a blaster at you.

Yelling at me just makes me wonder whther you have brushed your teeth lately, or why on earth you would be screaming in my face, effectively delaying me, but if you hit me, I'm going to hit you back, immediatly.

Panic shot is blaster fire... I'd be dodging that and praying it didn't hit me and I'd be much more effectively delayed.

I was fine with the warcry stuff, though I wish it would be changed to AOE instead of a cone effect, and I'm a Master Brawler...

Just please don't make another smuggler special useless.

Completely agree. I would like to have some clarification here as to why the Developers (note, not everyone playing) think this is a reasonable change.

Warcry is like the kihap (yell) in martial arts. It is meant to surprise your opponent and allow you to take advantage of that moment when you throw them off guard.

Panic shot is an attack that is basically like wildly firing at the target. I'd sure as hell be ducking behind cover and trying to keep from getting hit, hence my interpretation of the delay.

Made droids, vehicles and turrets immune to the delay effect of panic shot.

Changed panic shot to not switch your combat target.

The delay effect of panic shot will break on damage to the target.

For a profession that "Needed the most love" as recently as a month ago, the Smuggler profession has taken it hard in the ear on this one.And now there's mention that knockdowns are overpowered. So which is it? In addition to a useless Underworld line, an obsoleted Spice line and a deteriorating Dirty Fighting line, is the oft-promised"Smuggler Revamp" to be a title-change to Slicer? Could we just do that now and save ourselves the wait (until after the droid invasion, the combat revamp, the space-expansion and the destruction of the second Death Star)?

Please unnerf panic shot, it's the only reason I play this game.. i'll end up been another **edit**ty rifleman or tka without my lowblow/panicshots

Panic shot is a cone effect though. Worthless if you are fighting one person, but good if you have multiple enemies stupid enough to stand next to eachother.

Have you ever used panic shot? it's the only decent pistol shot in the game 1v1

Is the "armor hole" bug (caused by a hit to the slot for eyeglasses) still an issue?

Can we get an answer on this one? It cost me two tracked deaths this weekend when I was hit with the 'Mok Chou' attack for 3000 and 4500 pts respecitively, wearing 80%Kinetic Full suit of Adv. Composite.
