I am currently a BH and fancy a change soon, I have been thinking DE would be fun ???


But i cant actually see why people have droids other than cos they look kool or hold a crafting station do they have any other uses ?


sorry if this is dum, I have only ever had a MSE droid when i first started and after a few days of it beeping at me i destroyed it


Can you not put build a fairly decent weapon into a droid ?


What else can be done with droids ??

Don't bother becoming a droid engy, unless you have the patience of Jobe. We've been broke since launch and havent changed. Except the Devs nerfed Probots into useless battery sinks.

I'll humor you with a response.

"cos they look kool or hold a crafting station do they have any other uses ?"
They can allow medics to heal outside of the hospital and camps. The can store items and schematics. The probot makes a subpar tank. They kind heal other droids wounds.


Can you not put build a fairly decent weapon into a droid ?
No. You can't.


What else can be done with droids ??
Furniture. If you are not familiar with frustration, this is a great class to learn all about it.

Droids can be used to repair and charge other droids that someone else owns.


DE can teach you a lot about humility. It was recently a great effort with a lot of DE community support to get a dev to appologize for a patch that really hurt the profession. And in just three days it was fixed.


If you want a strong consistent customer base that would earn you a lot of money - just sell the resources.

hehehehe - thanks guys, however i am still into the idea of becoming a DE


Hopefully when they introduce space craft all DE's will play a major role in constructing said craft.

umm


I was a bounty hunter shortly after I started long ago


BH 1 2 2 0


thats as fasr as I made it


then everyone went BH ..


and I realized the lighting cannon was NOT a rifle..


and I then realized I couldnt even be a DE with my remaining points..


and after I hand ground my way out of medic 2 2 2 4


and ditched all of scout


and diched all of ranged support


and diched all pistol, and carbine knowledge


and then realized I NEEDED to be a master artisan too


I finnally ground my way to master de


and once the smoke cleared, I still had marksman 4 0 0 0


and started working on rifleman


decided I would let my droid fight,... and I would snipe from a distance... went for master sniping accuracy first..


then the probot nerf came


so in the mean time while still trying to get to master sniping accuracy.. during my down time wiating for customers.. I decided to HUMOR myself and found a way to heal my mind wounds...


played an instrament


I solo ground my way through entertainment music... and through my many uses as a complete waste of help to a group.. I earned my entertainment healing


so I did the next natural thing.. became a musician.. and over time inbetween customers.. I earned musical exp


musician 0 0 3 0


thats me


master artisan... master droid engineer, marksman 4000, rifleman 4000, entertainer 0404, musician 0030


zero points remaining.. ohh once I hit a good level of rifleman 2000 they nerfed pvp damage no longer one shot people to the head...


now people have asked me why dont I go back to BH or something


you grind that much solo music.. and even think about repeating the DE grind.. or trying to be a DE without master artisan


if they give us some new tree we need to function.. bye bye marksman.. bye bye rifleman.. hello lonelyness I think I am going to cry, i am a de or i die.
