Thread: ++above cap slicing got nerfed++
I think PikeChick's analysis is spot-on. Maybe I should lower my planned slice charges since most of the people getting the slices willl be low-level toons with low-end equipment.
How... UNexciting.
I guess I'll just keep playing like I've been doing since the CU went live... not slicing. Well, if someone asks for a slice i'll give it to them, I guess.
Wild_Bill, i see your point that there are other things that a weapon can get sliced on, speed and the crit hit chance... but you know that damage is the big one that people tend to look at.
I dunno... I just see that this is just not really affecting my SWG gameplay. It's certainly not an enhancement to being a Smuggler, since it doesn't look like there's going to be much of a market, but you never know, maybe there'll be brisk business in the bottom-feeders to give armor enhancements.
That 10% will stack with the critical hit chance given to bounty hunters. I wonder if MBH's shot gives 10%.
That would mean that 1 in 5, or 20%, of your shots will be critical hits, and that is pretty huge.

*cough* Critical hit chance *cough*
You know... the Devs really need to think things our clearly before they publish them, or even start to develop them. Lol! Oh man, who am I kidding? That'll never happen!

Just relax. I'd hate to see a 1200 max damage laser rifle sliced up to 1296, then a 32% damage powerup put on it. *shudder*

Sure, that would be one monster... but hey, we got paid for the slice, and isn't that what being a Smuggler is all about... the money? 
Right now... it doesn't really seem like we'll be getting much money at all.
Slicing is about the only thing we can do. And now we can hardly do that.
