Amen Brutha! Nice post.

Seeing the thread in the Jedi forums nearly made me red in frustration over yet another whiney outcry about one of our abilities....it's probably why Low Blow isn't working right....

Anyway, I know better then to post there, unless it is en mass, so I didn't....but I really wanted to.






He he. I was bored at work, so I did

And now that entire thread is deleted




I'm considering wandering over there and copy/pasting everything, and not posting anything else on it afterwards.

Not a bad idea, but it do make it harder for still "growing" Smugglers to reach Master, always the downfall of moving stuff to the Master box.

How does LD work, chances of landing it wise? Do you have a LOT more chances of LD hitting if you are Master? If so, dabblers might take it, but succeed in landing it is another thing. Like I saw now for FD, a lot can take it but for it to succeed with any reliability, you need Master. If it is not the case and anyone can take LD with the same chances of hitting with it, something must be done, I agree.

I may be mistaken, but as far as I know Master Smuggler doesn't help with landing Last Ditch, only your ranged accuracy does.

Thanks. It is why I said "if", was not sure.

it is very effective and a matter of time before the jedi out there cry nerf as bh dabble a little in that line, move the skill to master and keep the damage output the same.


very high hit damages are achieved by being low on ham when using a health buff crystal as damage dealt is proportional to damage taken.


please dont let them nerf the skill that i see as being inevitable as was done with pvp feign death. we all know the powers that be will swing the bat at will,


if feign death was a master skill the jedi using it issue would have been resolved.


just making an observation or 2. i love this profession ans when a glint of light is shown for us i get nervous.

Why does everyone hate smugglers? Cant jedi be happy with their lightsabers, and BH be happy they got to respec or dont actually have to BH anymore? We lost our requirements that gave us style, but our class has become really cool to play in combat. Our skills are dirty and underhanded, just how I imagine myself. Personally I think LD is the coolest thing ever. It is so smuggler style to have that last act of defiance. What I also Like is that we are just about as likely to FD and run like cowards.
The class is fun

I kept testing out LD tonight. I have about 2500 health max. No matter what my health (I tried at 100 health, 500, 800) I incapped no matter what. The mob would die but I'd still incap. Last week this wasnt happening to me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong now here. Seems like last week I even landed lastditches when I was at like 50 health that didnt incap me, but tonight I incapped everytime when lastditching no matter what my health was.

I have be unable to get Last Ditch toi work for a good week now. It goes off fine, but I incap instantly and my target takes no REAL damage. It gives numbers but health doesn't drop. I hope this is something that gets looked into soon

I've witnessed this as well. In my experience LD worked much more reliably in test, but at lower damage (maybe because i had a hard time finding creatures that coudl harm me). The first day or two of the CU I had good experiences with LD, and it seemed to work as advertised. Since RotW I've incapped EVERY time i've tried it, and seen no damage to the target (despite the combat chat declaring the hit).

That number was likely damage before armor.
