i hope they don't nerf stopping shot. It is a good special and the cooldown timer last much longer than the effect so it isn't broken. Obviously several well timed guys could keep u perma rooted, but i think a good solution would be to put a "root" timer on a character, as in he'd be rooted for the stopping shot time (30 seconds?) and then everybody who attacks him gets teh same cooldown.

Voritors were shooting at me the other day! I don't remember them ever doing that pre-CU!

really? sweet!
honestly, I haven't hunted anywhere but right outside my hometown on Naboo now that all mission terminals generate missions appropriate for your level. 
Bolle Bols and gualamas galore for me right now!

The smuggler's Concussion Shot works exactly the same but has a much lower cool down time. 
I don't think the improved stopping shot is any better on duration or anything.

Concussion Shot slows movement speed, though. I don't think it actually roots the target.

Uh, well... I use it constantly and it says 'Rooted' everytime so yes it does root them.

I think concussion shotis supposed to break on damage, while stopping shot is not supposed to break on damage.

You could be right. I thought it said Snared when my Smuggler buddy used it the other night, but it could've been the Carbineer using Crippling Shot. -=shrug=-

I think you are right, the description says that damage is supposed to allow thetarget to move again... what a surprise that it is not working though.

Concussion Shot from smuggler does root (and longer than Stopping Shot). The cooldown is nice for CS too.
It would be nice if Concussion Shot actually mezzed, i.e. rooted and prevented attack, instead of just rooting. Concussion Shot would also be nice if it broke on further damage to the target just for balance.

Well for creatures that only to melee damage it's not a problem, and creatures that have a ranged attack seems to only work up to 30m, so I would concussion shot those spitting monsters and move out of the 30m range and start firing. I haven't attacked any NPC's yet though but I would assume they have better range than 30m.

I personally rarely use stopping shot.
For me it feels like a waste of action. In a group we got meleers who are up there anyway so why bother? Solo they can still hit back if ranged at all and even melee they seem to hit me anyway.... I go as far back as I can and still get hit for some reason.

Concussion Shot is broken right now. It's suppose to root, and not allow the target to perform any action, but break on damage. It doesn't stop them from performing an action, and doesn't break.
Root is nice in a group with meleers if the ranged people are outdamaging the meleers. You root the target so the meleers don't have to chase it to hell and back.
