Was it a Master Smuggler? And if so, did you see "[Smuggler] uses Last Ditch on you for XXXX Damage" or "[Smuggler] uses Low Blow" in your Combat Log?


If it was just a Novice Smuggler, or a Rogue...then it wasn't a "true" Smuggler you were fighting. It was a either another profession augmenting his skills with Smuggler, or it was a Smuggler augmenting his skills with other professions. If he was using a pistol, there are several popular templates out there that combine Master Smuggler with BH and Pistoleer, or combine Pistoleer with BH and Smuggler...


Either way Smuggler alone is NOT overpowered. If it was one of the cases above, you were "owned" by a Pistoleer / BH.


And if the "Smuggler" went unarmed, you were "owned" by a TK. Smuggler's don't get any handy unarmed skills except what we pick up from our unarmed pre-req.



EDIT: Furthermore...you may want to actually MASTER something (besides a STARTING profession) before you start making claims of a profession being overpowered.

Folks, this is the second account of someone else who either has a bad sense of humor or is a trolling twit. He's not a newbie, he'sa Jedi wannabe, check his posts and notice he is talking about point conversions for FS XP in some of his posts. Just ignore him and maybe he'll go away.

Maybe it's just me but it seems smugglers are a little too overpowered in PvP and could probably use a litle toning down.





Anymore "toning down" and I'm gonna end up burst runningfrom kreetles.

This thread can't be legit. To the original poster: Smuggler is an elite profession. Scout and Marksman are starter professions.


Elite > Starter


Smuggler is in no way overpowered in this game. Try seeing how long you last against a Pistoleer/Bounty Hunter.

I though we would be considered a Hybrid profession since we require both Brawler and Marksman?? Just curious.

As far as the OP:

First off, I guess I am a little confused. I thought the OP said he was a Master TKM/Fencer/Swordsman and also a Marksman and Scout. Which I see is impossible.

So which one are you TKM? Fencer? Swordsman? Marksman!?!?!

Secondly what does Scout have to do with the price of Tea in China?? Hope you didnt try to use maskscent.

Was it a pistol fight or were you one of those Brawler professions?

If it was a Pistol fight then let me explain. If it was me dueling.....

First off we're both RS2 so same skills there.

But you are pistols 3 and I am pistols 4 so I get these above you
+ 10 Pistol Accuracy
+ 5 Pistol Speed
+ 2 Ranged Defense

Saddly I dont know if I get pistol bonuses with Dirty Fighting 4 but I have these
/panicshot - delays you 10secs
/lowblow - knocks you down
/lastditch - which for me does about 1300-1900 dmg, so if your unbuffed and unarmored than your done.

As well, it is easy for Smugglers to get Pistoleer as well which I am 0002.
+ 5 Pistol Accuracy
+ 5 Pistol Speed
+ DX2 Pistol Certification - which I used (compared to a pistols 3 weapon??)
Specials 1
/pistolmeleedefense1 - Another knockdown ability
+ 2 Melee Defense
+ 6 Pistol Speed
Specials 2
+ 2 Melee Defense
+ 6 Pistol Speed

Now if you were using TKM, MFen, or MSword then I dont know how it would compare,
but if it was a pistol fight and I didnt win then there definately would be a major problem!!
