Well as we all know and surely have experience, the one true way to neutralize the melee class is to dive into the nearest body of water completely preventing them from being able to hit you. It just occurred to me that we need a solution to this. Here is what I came up with:
Hmm what happens if I drop this hair dryer in the bath tub while I'm submerged in it? *ZZZzzzap!*
Anyone see what I'm getting at? If not I'll clue you in. The Vibro lance friends...the Vibro lance. It does electric damage (and we all know that electricty and water don't mix) I'm propossing that we be given the ability (unfeasable perhaps?Let me know what you think) to dip our trusy VL's into the water and "shock" whoever just happened to jump in. I haven't thought any more beyond it but that. Any ideas on how to implement such a thing? A special move perhaps? How much damage should it/would it do? What would be an acceptable range for the "shock" effect to travel? Love or hate my idea lets hear what you think!

All you need is a republic blaster and a Kaadu. Mount the pet, ride into the water and come to a stop near the target, pull out your blatser abd wail on the sissy until he decides to fight. Any ranged weapon will do it but the more accuracy you have the better, obviously. You can't DB them in the water but you can incap them 3 times if they're dumb enough to stay in the water.
NOTE: You can't shoot while the mount is moving in the water but something like the Kaadu can swim fast enough to catch up and let you loose a few shots even if a slow swimming wimp is trying to avoid ya

Hehe. I have Bounty Hunter so I can use the LLC, and if your idea was implemented... *snicker*
Enemy: Hahaha I am in the water and you can't hit me with your lance!
Me: Busts out LLC
Enemy: Oh sh*t!

I now carry a pile of grenades with me after having one peckerhead do this to me.
Just stand at the shore and lob grenades. He'll either come out where you can kill him or stay there and die. Either way he ends up dead.

wow a one star and not even a response to why. Is it because I'm a master carbineer as well? If so what does that matter? Just because it currently doesn't effect me does not mean that it won't in the future. It is after all a real gameplay issue.
