Smuggler Archive

There are 2 major smuggler issues that require a major reworking of the profession.

Cookie Cutter: Virtually all smugglers are pistoleers. If you want to be a smuggler with a combat role the hands down best route is pistoleer/smuggler. Because the pistoleer/smugglercombination has no logical alternative our profession is devoid of diversity. Suggestion: remove all pistol based skill mods from the smuggler tree. This change would probably also require the removal of other weapons based skill mods from other non-weapons based elite professions (e.g. Bounty Hunters). Alternatively allow any weapon proficiency to lead to smuggler and again remove all pistol based skill mods.

Buff Competition: There isn't enough room for 4 buffer professions in this game. Our spices compete with acertain elite medic profession(s) that give astonishingly powerful buffs. We compete with chefs whose sole purpose is creating and selling buffs. And finally, we compete with high level entertainers that can also give buffs (haven't comfirmed this, but read that some elite entertainers can give buffs if watched/listened to long enough. In my mind that's a pretty crowded field. Spice isn't selling like it should. Spices should be dropped or changed dramatically to add value. Suggestion: change spice so that it affects a person's skill attributes, like aim, alertness, etc...

not sure what you're talking about for pistol mods for smugglers...as far as I know we get -zero- mods which is why we have to take up pistoleer in the first place (same with commandos who want to use the launcher pistol)

I had intitally planned to play a sniper actually, but had to sell back all those skill points. Now, what I'm talking about is being on the recieving end of this fire. There is NO pistol skill that can give you a one shot incap, but a lot of the rifle skills and some of the higher combat class (like eye shot) can indeed incap you in one shot. Hell I recently found out that rifleman can do just as much health damage with their rifle as they can mind damage.

Cookie Cutter: Virtually all smugglers are pistoleers. If you want to be a smuggler with a combat role the hands down best route is pistoleer/smuggler.- you can go smuggler/pistoleer, or smuggler/tka for combat. Or non-combat, smuggler/anything. If you take away the pistol shots then you are forcing smugglers to pic a comabt class and makeing it a more coookie cutter prof. The pistol mods give smugglersthe ablity to do other profs.Because the pistoleer/smugglercombination has no logical alternative our profession is devoid of diversity. Suggestion: remove all pistol based skill mods from the smuggler tree.- worst thing you can do, makes it moredevoid of diversity.This change would probably also require the removal of other weapons based skill mods from other non-weapons based elite professions (e.g. Bounty Hunters). - what?!? I bounty hunter is skilled in all weapons why would you take that way from them?? Alternatively allow any weapon proficiency to lead to smuggler and again remove all pistol based skill mods.

Apparently, while death must come to us all, it seems to avoid threads from 9 months ago.
