What can u do against Panic Shot when it's being spammed? It forces u to lose a round in combat (essentially getting u killed)? Or is it like KD just unstoppable?

Hate to say it but if a smuggler gets it off on you, you are pretty much toast if he knows what he is doing.

Don't worry. Once KD is nerfed Panic Shot is sure to follow. If it works nerf it. If it don't work, don't fix it.

I got dueled to death by panic shot, never got a shot off again after it locked in. Now I know the pain of nerfage, but duels suck now, it's whomever gets off their annoying skill first (in fact in this duel I was KD'd for awhile first, but I was ready to do it to them also).

What to do what to do, probably better not to say a thing, too much nerfage already.

Duels are stupid anyway...don't call for game changes because dueling isn't fun for you.

lol i am not, try reading, i dont propose any changes, i ask what can be done, for instance getting out of LOS works....

theres not alot you can do for now but I believe it will only last 5 seconds after the next patch So you should be able to do something once that go's through. But remember that it doesnt always work so dont give up. I have both used it on people and won and tried to use it on people and lost So I know its not 100% effective.

I hope they don't nerf it. only way to kill AT-STs.

"An AT-ST ducks for cover from your wild shooting"

Panic Shot is just knockdown without the animation. Every change/nerf to KD has also been applied to Panic Shot, and sometimes ahead of Knockdown.

I played against a bounty hunter last night. I panic shot. She used LOS to get around my next few shots, emerge and shoot me, it was a good fight all in all. If you're standing out in the open against panic shot, you're screwed.

Unfortunately if Panic Shot does go off your probably going to die...as far as professions go as of this moment i would say that Smuggler is the best ranged combat class, were the one class thats not broken to hell...Panic shot will delay your attack 5-10 sec ( around 100-200 damage in pvp ) Low blow is a ranged knockdown ( also about 200 damage in pvp ) and Last Ditch can do up to 700 in pvp and also has the bonus of stunning your opponent...even though people take Smugglers as a non combat class chances are oyur gonna get owned less ya got some friends...and if we ever get in trouble just FD and can lay there all day.

How does panic shot or the stun from final blow affect the target's ability to heal? If I get panicked or stunned, can I pop a stim or two, and hope that the smuggler doesn't get a lucky mind hit?

As an aside, I know a good number of pistoleers who are no longer going for master, and instead picking up the smuggler line, which is rather easy to do in comparison to the long grind to master pistoleer. So expect to deal with a lot more smuggler specials if you pvp. From pistoleer, get the special abilities for the speed and maybe markmanship for the accuracy, and just use smuggler specials which are all FAR, FAR, FAR better than any of the pistoleer specials.

Panic Shot and Last Ditch are both effective moves, but remember Smugglers get no Accuracy modifiers... If you get spammed to death by Panic shot, I think the guy got lucky....These moves fail to hit quite often.
