bpphantom, why 2 bleed? I didn't think that they stacked anymore...is it for the initial damage done with the shot? Please edumacate me!

I drop a Health Shot 1 followed by a 2 on the mob partially because they actually hit the intended pool now.

Since they "patched" bleeds I'm getting the usual 1/5 of the initial damage = the bleed damage (1000 point hit = a 200 point bleed). I'm also still getting the stacking. Double bleeds land and I see two numbers coming off each time it ticks, (unless I actually miss, specials don't prevent the bleed).

Well if the health shot stack was still working,it wont now once a dev reads this!

Wait,hang on a sec my mistake...

Forgetting the Devs dont actually read the smugglers forum so we should be fine

I understand your point, but I think as a community, we have tried to maintain a little more mature method of communicating. Please try to not get so upset that you react in this manner...and we all want Panic Shot back.

I'm not happy about it. I did read somewhere that Crafters may choose up to 4 lines of specialization, so if this is true and Droids are one of those, then maybe there's hope.

Don't quote me on this, though. I'm having trouble coming up with the link to the post I based this assumption on.

It is still very early but from what I've seen a lot about DE will stay the same. We may have to be Shipwrights and Merchants too but /shrug.

Hopefully this change will bring droids to the Iconic status they deserve. Other than Jedi is anything more Star Warsy than droids?

I know it is Off-Topic so forgive me; what I am outraged about is the removal of hybrid characters. Entertainer/Crafter - gone, Combat/Crafter - gone, Entertainer/Combat - gone. It just makes no sense to have just one dimensional characters in the star wars universe. Sorry for my off topic rant.

Agreed. I guess they're thinking is that it works for EQ, so why not SWG. Problem is, there's no pure non-combat roles in EQ, so it doesn't really apply.

/sigh

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it pans out. Or do what the original poster is doing: bailing.

Thats my biggest concern/issue so far as well... can't really judge anything else until I've tried it.

I'm enraged. I never really visited the forums to shout how I dislike the changes but the moment has come. No decay on droids have effectively lowered my sales. No decay on everything? Hmm... I am going to give it a try and then (perhaps after a week) cancell ma subscription and delete SWG folder.

I don't want to be a Shipwright. It's that simple. I've been a MDE/MArch since i finished grinding my first toon. Now I'm told that if I want to be a DE I cannot also be a Arch...but I can be a SW??? Where is the logic in this. Going further, keeping in mind that every trader gets Master Artisan/Master Merchant:

WS/AS...makes some sense(but so does AS/Tailor) 266 skill points

Chef/Tailor - All of a sudden Martha Stewart is a Star Wars personality? 266 skill points

DE/SW...I've already made my point about this. 266 skill points

Arch...period. No partner class, no extra skills, nothing. 203 skill points

SOE cannot possibly have a clue.

Worst thing I see is the rigid split-up of the crafting professions. I can pretty much live with not being a combat class as long as that means I can walk up to tough mobs and not have them kill me, but limit my ability to decide what type of crafter I will be - no more MDE/MA/Novice Architect/Novice Shipwright

That's a good point SmokingFrog. I think this might lead to Architects being one of the rarest Crafters of them all due to the lack of flexibility.

My biggest issuse is how it just showed up, its like buying a car and on teh way out the salesman going oh, by the way that model doesnt come with breaks as u roll onto the freeway.

In the same vein it bothers me that people that don't care about droids will be making them. I was always a good feeling seeing a DE; I knew they loved droids - they weren't in it for the money, they weren't in it to be cool; they were in it for the droids. I suppose it is really minor and petty of me but I don't want to be in competition with people that don't care about what they are crafting.
