Smuggler Archive

we told them what to do with Low Blow. it should be a KD like it used to be.

it's kinda silly that the #1 CC profession doesn't have its own KD.

Disarming shot variations and startle shot variations can also be spammed at a target to prevent the target from attacking until they are dead...yet they have been able to do this since the beginning of CU yet there is no public outcry over these specials. Advanced startle shot also does a lot more damage than panic shot. If people don't like panic shot as a mez then make panic shot a delay attack like it used to be and more similar to advanced startle shot's delay effect...maybe just make panic shot have a longer delay effect than advanced startle and deal slightly less damage than advanced startle shot. I'm of the opinion that if we had advanced startle shot put in smuggler renamed it improved panic shot and removed the position up effect people would still scream for panic to be nerfed but not want startle shot nerfed. Simply because an ability is a smuggler ability that is effective doesn't mean it needs to be nerfed.

"Or looking at it another way...If panic shot can be spammed until the target is dead, then what is the use of any other special in the entire game?"

The damage PanicShot does is far too small to be the only move used. It was only doing 79 points of damage on a TK/Pikeman today and that was with my 560 DPS pistol ... can you imagine trying to incap a 3k health player when you're only doing 79 points of damage per second? It'd take weaks.

I'll share one of my combat macros with you.

This is for when I get attacked by some 1337 PvP'er.

/yell What the....!!!;
/pause 3; (for targeting)
/ConcussionShot;
/point;
/laugh;
/raspberry;
/emote pwnz u!!!;
/burstrun;
/emote farts in your general direction;

concussionshot imo now is worthless. i don't do much of any PvP and since it is RARE that you find a PvE hunting group that listens to 'don't shoot the target i just rooted'
i say remove the daze from concussion (reduce the timer of 40secs if they must) therefor making the concussion and panic different types of attacks and make the lowblow a kd because it doesn't slow crap down.

Rofl....

Had something like that hunting krayts early post-CU

I'm a little confused at the talk of Low Blow and Restraining Shot being too similar to be useful? Restraining Shot slows down the target's movement speed, Low Blow slows down the target's attack speed. They affect completely different things.

RestrainingShot slows down movement speed with a snare (that doesnt break on damage) and also appears to reduce attack speed, LowBlow reduces attack speed. So they are very similar moves like PanicShot and ConcussionShot though LowBlow seems to be completly useless since RestrainingShot appears to work better, lasts longer AND slows movement
