Uhh... I haven't done any combat since Publish 20...
... you mean to tell me that Concussion Shot went from 40 seconds to 20?
Please tell me that I didn't read this right.
omg...............your kidding me!!!!!!! and your telling me that the .."cooldown" is LONGER than the special itself? the efect lasts 20 secs and the time until you can hit the target again with it is 30 seconds?
Right now? even knowing the lekku language isnt worth being a smuggler right now......
Umm what. Are we talking about concusion shot or improved concusion shot, because if its the latter that is still at 40 seconds I know I used it a lot last night. The way to use it now is to hit a target with improved concusion shot, it roots and dazes for 40 secs. Then you can hit it again after 30 secondsand it will stick again because this is before the rage has come into effect. Rage only happens after the root breaks. You get rage when you hit it with the second conc shot, but it will stick as the rage takes a second or too to come on.
This also means that because rage only lasts 30 seconds you can wait another 35 secs and conc shot for a third time. you can repeat this indefinstly.
One last thing, you can also use panic shot first then when that breaks use conc shot wich is imune to rage. This doesnt work very well on mele mobs as they get close to you as Panic doesn't root em and its a bit harder to tell which mob is wich if they are all grouped round you at close range but its still veryefective agains range mobs.
Please no sky is falling posts, we've got enough to worry about with most of the long term guys leaving without these.

You do realize that this is a bug....if the concussion shoot is placed, and ANY damage is put on the target, the concussion shot is supposed to break. So if you hit with another concussion shot, and it does damage, ...it should break and the "rage" timer should start. This is the "chain" mezzing that the pvpers squealed liek stuck pigs about....
WHAT THE F*CK!?!?
honestly. stop bending us over. our asses are getting mighty chapped.
