I mean what does it do, reduces damage, but is it a good reduction and does it last long?
i would just like to know, im considering grinding it but not really certain yet.

The good: It makes a good difference in how much damage the jedi does to you and has a good long duration
The bad: it seems to miss alot, doesn't do much damage and even when it hits the state seems to be resisted often

I can never get it to land. In fact I have such trouble getting it to land (even when the enemy target is more vulnerable to state effects due to shock and overwhelming shot) that I've moved it to a secondary toolbar and generally don't bother even trying.

Intimidate Shot Rocks!
I use it all the time. It helps to have a Warcry/Intimidation +15 Shirt. It makes the Intimidate shot stick more often.
I notice a huge reduction of damage. I use duelist stance and intimidate shot. Throw in some Pikatta Pie and synthsteak and you don't really need to wear armor.

I love it when it lands, too bad you need some smuggler or combat medic for it to work well

That won't be helping at all, there isn't any intimidate mod anymore.

Intimidate is a 20% damage reduction, thyroid rupture from CM is a 25% damage reduction (well, actually, it's an attack speed reduction, but the net result is 25% less damage taken). Between duelist stance, blind, thyroid rupture and intimidate it's like fighting a pre-CU intimidated mob. Works quite nicely.
Though truth be told, most of time I just stick a thyroid and leave it at that. The duration is much better. I only break out blind/intim when it's a real tough cookie.

i find stacking that and burst shot gives a 100 or 200 or so damage reduction :-p
i wish it would be better
there should be a master box intimidate that is a cone, or throw it in carbineer and call it crowd control or something heh
its nice to sit back and use burst shot on everyone, like i said, about 100 point damage reduction

Stun still seems to be to be -10 to Defence and -10 to Accuracy.

intimidate + blind really cuts down damage you take from jedi (or other classes), as you'll be missed more often...And still get 20% less damage when you get hit
