Thread: Worth the bother?
I recently started a new toon and I really want him to be a Smuggler. Thusfar, I'm just a bit on Pistol XP to pick up the Novice box. However, I keep hearing about this Smuggler Revamp coming. I've tried reading up on it but seeing as I'm not yet a smuggler and not familiar with the current system, reading about changes to it mean nothing to me.
My question to you more experienced Smugglers is this: should I bother beginning work on learning the profession now just to have it changed on me soon? Or should I focus my attention elsewhere until the revamp and start from scratch then?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
LOL, after two years in this profession I truely don't know how to answer your question.
Perhaps wait till after the actual SMUGGLING content patch is done so you know what you're getting yourself into? *shrugs*
Eh. At the moment, Smugglers are just a collection of weird and interesting specials. Most of which may/will be nerfed into oblivion in the coming months. There's no smuggling yet, no real idea of what it will be, and slicing appears to be totally up in the air. So we really can't say at the moment.
Still.. if you've been following The Smuggler Experience (tm) for any length of time, you'll recognize that this is a *big* improvement!

Hey, but on the upside you'll know just about as much as we currently do! A perfect time to climb aboard.

hehe, there's no scaring me away. Smuggling seems too interesting!
Thanks all for your input. I think I'll just take advantage of double xp to get as much pistol xp as I can and wait it out. I can hardly wait to join the would of the Smugglers

lol, I know the older smugglers arehardcore realistsbut fortunately, there's no need to be this pessimistic.
To OP:I'd personally wait til after the smuggling content gets put in, since you get more of everything except crowd control (which is still semi-broken for smugglers) from other professions.
I think after this most recent change to Concussion shot being even better then our original root, that we may get a break from Jebi and other yelling to change us. As they may not like the changes given.... Least I hope so, people are still under the assumption we are not an Eliete profession......
IM still truely confused as to how n e one thinks taht the possible/likely change to concusion shot is a good thing
NERFED COUNCUSION SHOT = SMUGLERS GET PWNED
