Heh, I wanted to see the change to LD since the CU when I started playing again so I picked on a lowly stormie. I had about 3/4 of my health, the stormie was about 1/4 health, I queued LD, killed the stormie, and about fell out of my chair with surprise when I saw my health bar had dropped to a sliver. If I had missed, even though I was fighting a cl54 stormie while I was cl75, I would have died. I haven't used it since.

Thanks guys for the responses. Just three other quick questions.

1. If I had a PSG would it have taken the 30% or so off the attack... basically what is the MAX damage that can possibly be done with this attack.

2. What can be doen to try and lessen the chance of getting taken out by this skill? What determines if it hits or not? Will force aura and valor help block this attack? (This may be outside the knowledge of the smuggler forum).

3. I understand that Last Ditch uses up all of your health, action, and mind... but will it use up my force? If I was getting beat on could I hit LD, then use my advanced force heal twice and be back up to full health? Note: I am NOT a PVP player. I only ask becuase I am forced to defend myself froma constant stream of BHs as I try to hunt.

Thanks again in advance for any info.

For #3, it doesn't take force. I'm 95% sure it doesn't at least. I'll have to test it later today and get back with a for sure.

try attacking a lvl 1 as lvl 80, using LD at full health, missing and thengetting incapped. the shame!

here's some tips, if he's using concussion shot to root you then there's a good chance he's got last ditch. Avoid concussion shot by taking cover into cover, he maybe able to root you but he won't be able to get out of range of you. If you're still rooted pull out a laser rifle, you'll probably be able to out heal the bounty hunter therefore winning.

Last ditch, most Jedi hit you with a knock down as soon as they can. This is a mistake, you get one hit off and I'm up and attacking back if I'm quick enough. Wait until they are around 1/4 health before KD, that will also stop them healing. Make sure you have taken your spice and dodge foods and if he's about to bite it heal up as much as possible. Chances are he'll miss and all you'll have to do is deathblow or triple incap him.

Well this thread was a pleasant suprise and a joy to read. Being new myself to Smuggler, i have no advice, as im just learning now (i cheated to master smuggler during respec, but i was already on my way there anyway).

Well this was my last check in to see any other replies to my post. Thanks again to all of you for the information. Nicolas, I did read through some of the stickies (as I usually do before posting) but I couldn't get through all of them and I kept getting distracted by all the pies! Also to those that said to keep off the terms: good advice and as soon as visibility is fixed I will however,right now I do 100 damage with my LS and 200 with force hit. Those are my only jedi skills besides healing and I am CL 71. Can't really solo anything for XP right now so I have to group. (I would gladly earn half the XP if I could use it to stay hidden) *Idea for smugglers, payment either money or XP to recieve a grace period from visibility. That would be a great skill!

Also, Alpha_Bits... thank you for resisting. /acceptpie

Thanks guys!

Thank you for coming here with such maturity and respect for our prof.

Here are some tips to avoid getting last ditched.

Force Aura and such are handy so are PSGs.

Keep your enemy on his back when his health is low is your BEST defense.

Using Stasis (if you got it) when your enemy is low and then a KD followed by your most damaging hit would be a good macro.

Run. Nothing wrong with running. As Smugglers we know!

Good luck and again, thank you for being so mature. You do the Jedi proud.

Yes, you have earned my respect for trying to come up with a strategy to thwart this move isntead of calling for a nerf.

/salute

P.S. Here's a few tips. If they carry a pistol other than the scatter, (specificly the renegade!) then watch out for a LD. It they seem to be paying not much attention to doing you damage, and are using intimidate shot and duelist stance and synthsteak, that means they want to lessen the damage you do to them. Why? So they can hit LD at that perfect moment while "controling" your damage output. If they have you rooted, and are doing this DON'T use saber throw at us trying to damage us! Because after the first one the KD won't work. Then, come time that we hit that magic hit point number, we're gonna' LD you. In short? Save your KD for when you really need it. And the most tell-tale sign of a LD'ingsmuggler is a root/intimidate combo.

Can we get a BE to clone this guy and populate the servers with his flavor of jedi? You other jedi, and you know who you are, SHAME!!!

Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay, I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going.

Hey guys, do you think we should post this up in the jedi forums as an example for them to follow? Learn the true jedi teachings they must. Corrupted by power and greed they are. Just and wise as this master they are not, now their asses we must all kick!

I'd rather not post any of this in the Jedi forums. If other Jedi want to learn these things, let them come here, and if they are as mature as the original poster, then we will share with them our knowledge. If not, we can potentially find out thier server and character name, then start actively hunting them.
