Head over to the swordsman board it happens there, topic of intrest: 450k xp in 30minutes. Thing is a lot of people dont know about it. I had no idea back a few months ago that the reason I was leveling droves of tuskens with 2hand spin that some bug was giving me a huge helping hand.

Oh good god man, it is not easy to reproduce and this was somewhat of a joke thread showing that it is not only players that can do it, but I am sure you are a NERF everyone except my pet class. Give it a break and let us have a topic without this bulls**t.

I have a screenshot but the text is too hard to read. Anyway, I was in the Genosian (sp?) caves today to hopefully finish the thing for once. I am a master rifleman so I thought a group of 3 or 4 could easily take this cave. Right at the beginning, I was fighting the genosians and was taking them out rather easily. Then I get two or three attacking me and I think no problem as I have nice comp armor and I was buffed very high. Then I experiance this bug from the other side of the table. Here is how the combat log looked in ONE second:
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 2231 points of damage damage!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 2191 points of damage damage!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 925 points of damage damage, but you counterattack!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 1745 points of damage damage!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 2129 points of damage damage!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 870 points of damage damage, but you counterattack!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 2265 points of damage damage!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe misses you!
17:49:21 Crazed Genosian uses Advanced Strafe on you for 2129 points of damage damage!
And I was slain instantly. Note- My armor did not reduce ANY shot that hit me and it is top of the line (he was using disrupter rifle and I have 70% resist to acid)!
So I was dealt 12690 points of damage in one second from one creature.
Now suppose all those hit me (and the one that missed hit me for the average of all of them which is 1810) I would be dealt about 16225 damage in one second from one creature.
Please devs, this needs to be fixed. I lost 5% decay to my armor from this bug and countless others may have or will suffer from this. The reason I post this here is because I often see this issue here more than any place else. Any comments?

First, I find your comment highly offensive. "Riflemen" do not use this exploit "in PvP all the time now." Stop using the fact that a few people use exploits as a reason to condemn entire professions.
Second, I have never one-shot killed anyone in PvP who was not already severely damaged and about to go down already before I targeted him, even when using an AOE shot, and I do know anyone who knowingly has.
Third, using an AOE shot is not exploiting. The AOE shots for any profession are often higher end and,therefore, usually the most damaging, even if you are only targeting one target (e.g., Strafeshot2 has a 5x damage modifier in addition to being area effect, the highest of any rifle special). Therefore, it is unreasonable to expect people to not use their most effective shots because there might be a corpse in the area is simply unreasonable.
What? If I send you a tell during a battle saying, "Excuse me, I need to shoot you with my most effective shot, but I am concerned that corpse to your left might be in my field of fire, could you move a little to your right?," are you going to comply, or are you going to run?
If someone is purposely using an exploit, report him. Otherwise, do not come here and self-righteously condemn someone you do not even know when he was pointingout aproblem that effects everyone in a way that everyone (including exploiters) can see is an advantage to get it fixed. Your complaint is nothing more than a thinly veiled complaint against all riflemen. Grow up.

The only time I've ever seen the bug happen in PVP is during a huge attack on a seven-base setup when there were tons of corpses around.
If they would fix the spawn rate on the geonosian cave, there wouldn't be enough corpses to cause the bug and everyone would stop complaining about it. The only way to avoid it now is by going in the morning when the spawn rates aren't broken, or by standing inside that hall with the spawns (whichtypically gets you killedwithin minutesbecause tons of geonosians constantly spawn and aggro on you). If you stand in the big room (the only safe place to attack things in the hall) when the spawns are broken, the AOE bug is unavoidable because of all the geonosian corpses in there.
