Look at Tanks' response in this thread. I personally think it is outrageous that they would allow one of our greatPvP skills be broken like that, espcially considering you can be shot at and dotted and black-barred while feigning... and now they want to even be able to get you up from it. Thoughts on this anyone?

Great posture up shots will make us get up. Doesn't thisjust completly kill the whole purpose behind using Feign Death?

there is a very simple solution to this, and i dont know why sony did not put it in place with thier re-vamp. being a jedi should be just that a jedi, remove dabling altogether, place the force power on the unlocked character which would be the jedi, with no ability to spec in any other skills.
and if they nerf FD and give BH smuggler killmissions, then we as smugglers are pretty screwed hehe.

funny that their corrispondant is talking about a posture up attack to break FD, wasn't that an old exploit that te devs fixed? so they couldn't break FD?
Did I just se a coro recomend using an exploit?!?!?
for shame

Tanks is pretty much blind to anything that does not involve BH. He's akin to a rabid dog. I'm sure he won't rest untill BH have perma buffs, FD is removed form the game, and BH get their own personal deathstar.

Why not simply put FD into the Master box?
Solves all the issues of Jedi taking it to escape losing xp on death.
Yeah, I know it is a good skill to have while working up the Smuggler line but things have changed, all we are currently seeing is a focus on Jedi. The sad thing is that if they choose to use another prof's specials and it is found that it upsets gameplay, then it is usually the other prof , Smuggler in this instance, that suffers because of it.
If not in the Master box, then why can't the Red Named Ones make all those +'s in the skill tree actually mean something. Sure, let someone who only has FD at first box be raised with a posture up shot, but as we move up the tree then it should be increasingly difficult for it to be effective. At Master Smuggler level, only a Master Rifleman should have any chance, even then below 35%, to actually perfom the posture change shot successfully.
Bottom line is that it is a Smuggler skillwhich should have nothing to do with either Jedi or BH.
DO NOT break our profession further just toquick fix another profession, especially when this scenario was discussed and reported during the testing of Pub 10. This problem should have been addressed before the relaese to the live servers, notmonths later.

Again this shows the Devs lack of respect for anything but their golden jedi. I am wagering most of our devs had jedi back in the guardian system and are so inflated over their own precious jedi that nothgin but jedi thisbh/jedi that makes them listen, if something was horridly broke on jedi and they all used /forcewhine3 theyd be fixed in a week, we are broke since beta and we use /polite suggestion 2 and we get ignored.....
Sad sad sad...

It would never be an issue if it were real smugglers use it. Not &^%*^% Jedi.

Is it me, or should we be encouraging Jedi to dabble in other Profession skills we don't like, so the devs can nerf those? Get Jedi to use Rifleman skills or something, so the BH's complain about it and those other skills get nerfed.
It seems like the Jedi are this great big herd of cattle that show up on your farm one day and then the Sheriff comes by and says he has to destroy your crops so it's easier for the cowboys to herd them.

Just another reason why I don't PvP.
I think the best solution for all concerned is what's been mentioned already. If you give the Master Smuggler the highest ability with FD, it will fix things. After working my way up the Dirty Fighting tree, I really never noticed a difference in how FD worked as I gained skill boxes. So let's make that "Feign Death +10" actually mean something. Sure, maybe at DFI, you have a chance to Feign against NPC's... but against a MBH, probably not.
Ideally, of course. In the SWG reality, they'll just can that ability, and we won't have it at all.
Hey, Last Ditch is a pretty sweet pistol shot, right?

Heres the perfect solution-
Jedi bugger of and play a JEDI
Bounty Hunters bugger of and play a BOUNTY HUNTER
Meanwhile the smugglers continue to use OUR skill....
Now can any of my fellow smugglers direct me to a thread on our board where we have insisted another profesion gets borked so ours works better....?

No, and I'm afraid exactly this is the problem, the word "nerf" seems to be the magical dev-summoning command.

Why don't they just negate the ability to use FD when you have a LS equipped or something like negating FD when you achieve Padawan... I mean, do they have to mess with us only because Jedi use FD to avoid getting killed by a BH?
