Thread: Let me steal your skills then tell you how to do your job

While not quite eloquent or diplomatic I do have to agree with the sentiment that it's unfair that our profession be punished because of a few dabblers who only want one skill.
However, FD has problems separate from that so maybe this will be our way of getting them fixed.

I read the whole thread. I also read the pointer thread. It had this in it:
-
FD is a smuggler skill and if jedi and Bounty Hunters keep abusing it it will be pulled from the game, dabblers are the reason this skill is such a hot topic. Smugglers fight dirty and use any trick they can to survive including faking death. In that context FD is a skill worth being in the game. I hate when people scream to nerf someone elses skills, great idea why not take every skill from smugglers its not like we need it. Last I checked Smugglers were a profession in the game and not one skill everyone seems to love to abuse.

And I read this on page 2:

I will agree with you on this to a point. Jedi should not have the skill and BH's should not have the skill but smugglers in a bounty situation should have the skill. After all a BH's job is to kill and ours in to make money in a under world of the galaxy, staying alive and being sneakier then everyone else is paramount. We fool people all the time when we smuggler illigal cargo (well we are supost to anyway) so we should be able to fool a BH from time to time.

In any event, it it was misinterpreted, so be it; my apologies. Missed one - [The dev's want people to dabble. By useing the % mods and making novice on up have a much, much greater risk of failing you reduce the amount of people using it.]
Moving a skill to the mastery box ensures that it's worthless to all but the Master Smugglers, who at that point will only use it in the grinding or practice of another profession. - the game needs to move away from the "grind" as a master I dont use my skills to grind other profession I use them toplay (i know crazy)the game and so do many other people.It's a bit like adding level 10 certification to master pilot. A neat reward, but it doesn't help the grind because the grind is over at that point. - good then maybe people will play a master toon and not grind professions, content, content, content.
I didn't one-star you. I explain 1-stars when I give them out. And before you imply that I'm a Jedi Smuggler-hater, or a dabbler, do a search on my posts.- ROFLMAO dude you need to not read so much into posts, smoke or take something because you need to chill out. Theaftermy comments should have given you the insight to see i was bustin your chops a little, lighten up.I don't expect much from my fellow smugglers, - if you were a true smuggler you would never make a statement like that, anyone who comes to this forum knows how much we help each other and others who stop in with questions. but I do expect not to have my dedication to the class questioned. - Funny but based on your icon you seem to be dedicated to jedi not smuggler which is cool. But dont come at me like your suprised I think your a jedi first and formost, after all Im not a physic friend. I never cast any aspersions on you or your choice in profession, again dont read so much into things.
That's in reference to this post, and if it's directed elsewhere, disregard. If it's directed at me, I'm pissed. - lol and this affects me how? Really all I said was "one of our" I dont know who it was and I dont care its just fun to bust the person out a little because its so obviously a jedi. Dont protest so much it makes you look guilty of something.
-
One of our little jedi friends one stared me (last page) cause he thought I wanted to remove FD from the mix (i.e. take it away from jedi's and BH's). This is not true, one of the best features of the game is the fact that you can mix up the skill sets to really make a custom toon. I have issue with people using a skill (not from their main profession) on each other then crying nerf. I dont mine the one star just wanted to give a shout out for all the jedi love.

My last comment is that if FD does get nerfed I will not hold BH in contempt or responsible for it but I will lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of every and any Jedi that ever used it to circumvent the legitamate collection of their bounty

The most redeeming quality of this board has been the fact that there was a level of mutual respect.- this forum still is, just cause you and I are butting heads that has not changed. I think you may need a hug.

The animation should be that the other player grabs his/hernaughty bitswhile doubling over, saying "Ooouff" and then falling down rocking back and forth while on the floor. That would be cool!

A little off topic, but sorta related... A bh friend of mine and i had an unarmed duel the other day, after beating him half to death for what seemed to take hours, he heals, and i say screw this and pull a pistol and low-blow last ditch him... the last ditch missed so all it did was inspire him to use the fire knock down on me... and as i lay there twice baked by not only tatoo1 and tatoo2, but the flames that are searing me to a nice golden brown, it occurs to me.... we need something cool like that attached to low blow... your thoughts, my fellow smugglers.... errr Smugglers... or whatever... you know what i mean...
