at the beginning of the cave you can run in there and just hit all your area attacks and you kill them all hehehe. if you survive that is. those crazed geonosians pack a punch.

Is this "slight advantage" a legit feature or is this some exploit? If it's an exploit and we spam the mess out of it "because we can since SOE hasn't fixed it and we deserve it because pikemen have been borked for months" then we are no better than the exploiting Jedi we complained about getting fixes ahead of us.

Just because you candoesn't mean you should.

But it's not just us that gets the "benefit" you know. Plus, the respawn rate is so insane that there is no camping or kill-stealing involved. They respawn so quickly everyone has a chance to kill as many as they can before the tables are turned on them. The benefit can be a curse.

It's not a secret, I just like talking about it as if it was. And it isn't quite right, either. But it's unintentional most of the time.

Well then if there's nothing you can do about it then there's nothing you can do about it. I mean heck if there is no way around it and if you honestly can't help but dish out the damage then live it up man!

w00t go pikeman!

Creds in your pocket bro. Either that or a chance to experiment with those lovely schematics and take on aweaponsmith class as a side class for once. I'm kinda glad the dungeon on a whole "is" meant for a group effort. Melee types are getting spanked because of the Geo's and their great stun sonic guns

Never have i seen so many TKM's lying in corpse or incap form in my time playing swg.

I did it accidentally the first few times: I was attacked by a few of the geonosians, so I did a sweep2 and killed them all in one hit. I hit one of them for 37k. I didn't know what was going on until I realized it's the AoE bug, but it felt cool to be extremely overpowered for a few minutes, 1-hit killing them for 19k+. The problem is that it works against you, too. I got hit by one for well over 20k myself...that's not cool.

But when you get surrounded, what else are you supposed to do? Not use our area attacks? /shrug

wow, i noticed this the other day... for a few hits, usualy 3-5, i would 1 shot 10k ham critters with sweep2, it was realy werid, didnt even notice at first, except that i would normaly cue up /spin2/spin2/sweep2/area2/spin1/spin1/spinspin spin... but i would loose the whole cue after the sweep2 cause the target was dead

havent had it used against me yet... and as i have no idea was causes it, or how to use it at will, i would file this under "bugs" no, if some one found a way to "turn it on" well... then you just crossed over into exploiterdom

still, its fun as heck to 1shot a 10k critter or 3 just out of the blue

its been emotional...
