I know the pain.

HOLY SHI errr MOLY.....

There's the extended combat dialogue, in case anyone was wondering what wonderful string of events lead up to me getting the crap slapped out of me.

Good god you got shafted!

Just to set the record straight he alowed the BH to get with in 15 meters. We better get use to it because it is way to late for SOE to fix the weapons now, there are way to many out there. I know my guild has stock pilled the comando weapons, and LLC's just in case.

I dont care about the special damage seeing that I alowed the guy to get that close and in a way I deserve getting killed that easily. What does bother me is the auto attack damage. No way should a weapon do upwards of 800 with auto attack with some people doing this 1 per secound. Only saving grace is they have crappy accuracy so you all best be running and gunning. I have fought BH's (LLC)and Master Comando's and have never ever feared them in a one on one fight, they just cant hit me. They are scary in group pvp though.

The fact that people have stock piles the weapons is only proof that they should be brought back to a point of balance and that people know this should happen. Yes 800+ on normal shots is WAY too much. 4k+ on specials is even WAY too much. Especially when you get no pentalties for using the weapon such as taking 434236542 damage from a melee hit if you are holding a rifle in your hand.

Yes, yes he did get very close to me. That can happen when you are STILL LOADING AT THE *&@^#@!!!!! SHUTTLEPORT!

I think that was the most annoying part of it all.

Am I the only one wondering why it says

"Aran Starhunter uses YOUR lightning rifle to fire a concentrated blast of lightning damage on you for 3611 points of damage!"

Also, why would the client display that you are incapped before the message that you took damage? I swear this game doesnt make any sense.

Kjeldor, yeah, I have noticed that, too. Every screenshot I have seen of someone getting hit with a LLC says "uses your lightning rifle" for some reason. Grammatical error on the part of the Devs.

And the death-before-damage is probably because I was still loading at the Shuttleport. That and the fact that there was other fighting in the town and it was laggy. Yeay!

I got hit for 1600 un styled by one of those.

Commando in my guild can solo AT-STs (faction pet type) and that's with minimum investment to get Flamethrower.

Have you noticed the alarming number of people with Flamethrowers lately? Walk around town and just keep an eye out for what weapons people are holding.

It used to be that everyone was packing either a DX-2 or Scatter Pistol. Gone are those days.

I see Doctors and Entertainers tugging around guns like Flamethrowers now. Droid Engineers are torching up across the galaxy. People basically know they are able to just BARELY buy into Commando or Bounty Hunter now and they can be Combat Gods.

Bad trend.

Flamethrowers suck, but there is a counter. If you stay near a lake or something, you can run in water, and it gets rid of the poison. My guild was running around Moenia, and a guy was continually PTEF flaming us. (Personal TEF after we kill him) So whoever got hit would just run into a stream.
