Thread: Best Weapon For Smuggler
Hello,
I was wondering what are the best weapons for a smuggler to use. I use a tangle pistol right now but it doesn't seem to hit very hard. What sort of damage should a Master Smuggler be able to do?
Thnx.
I have a ton of stuff on my plate, so this may not happen for a while, however...
I am currently M Smugg, M Pist, BH 0040, +3 SP destined for FS Ranged Sppeed 3 for +9 I should be able to use for faster cooldowns (or Luck for slice component drop increases? Ha!).
Its a nice build, but the idea of a weapon-basedAOE added on to things like Concussion Shot... M Smugg, M Pist, BH 0020, N Commando, +2 SPlooks veeery tempting.
I'd kill whole villages irl just to get 1 more SP to pick up BH 0030, actually 
! But a weapon-AOE'd resistance debuff + Weapon-AOE'd Range KD + Weapon AOE'd Concussion Shottruly sounds like a great way to increase my usefullness, both solo vrs larger groups.
Imagine standing among a crowd of prone NSs as you take your time to draw off and kill one at a time... or being able to have your team quickly ID who's the singled-outtarget when all the others are laying helpless on the ground...
I'm a MSmuggler Pistol 0444 and BH 0034 (I think. I'll check on that when I get home. lol) I keep a DL44 for energy and a kash stalker pistol for kinetic in case a mob has a high resistance to one. I got them both ADKed, sliced and Puped. They're pretty nice.

I would say it would depend somewhat on what other profession, if any, you have. If you were a smugg/pistoleer a DE-10 and Featherweight FWG5 should be your weapons choice. If you were a smuggler/rifleman an advanced laser rifle would be good. Unlesss you're a wookiee, then use an assault bowcaster. The list goes on.
It also depends on what you're doing. If you pick up novice commando, you can use a launcher pistol to stop an entire group of bad guys in their tracks while you wander away. Nothing more pleasing than selling some faction, freezing the 3 uncloaking jedi, with one shot, who came to gank me, then booking for the starport and launching into space.
I have pistol 4-0-0-0 and BH 0-0-2-0 and was contemplating dropping the BH down to novice only and getting commando. Now that it has been suggested by another perhaps I will do that tonight.
Thnx.
I like the renigade pistol. it makes a cool sound lol. plus it's the strongest pistol i can find right now and aford

From my experience, Crosyk is right on. DE10 for energy, Featherweight FWG5 for kinetic. Make sure both are damaged capped (around 966), and have a SAC lower than 70. Slap on the pup of your choice (dmg for me), and you are pretty golden. I do carry an assortment of other weapons as well, depending on what I may find myself facing, but those two are my old reliables.
i am master commando master smuggler i use a 507 dps flamethrower and a 467 dps proton rifle and i do just fine
