No worries... it sounds dinky, but it can hammer.
Yep.. i know. but what i dont understand is: Why i did more damage as MCarb/Msmug using a pistol, as i did as /MPistol/MSmug? i m missing something here.. hehe
Now that is just messed up

I find Mcommando/smuggler is a good mix. heavy for when i'm alone or in a small group, and a good pistol for bigger groups, or tight areas with lots of agroes.
Commando can be a good profession if used right and not just going in and melting everything.
pulling one non agro creature off the heard with a pistol, then useing the flammer once he is 20m away from the rest is a good way to get the old combat xp up fast.
The only problem with that is that he is looking for a high end PvE template for looting the slicing components. If he were to use a Heavy Weapon in the DWB or the Avatar station.... the whole group is going down and fast from their innate AoE and the fact that it still splashes through walls.
Even if they get AoE fixed there is still no Non-AoE unless the proton rifle is still not using the 6m radius (no way to know cause it won't even fire). I have had a commando as long as I have had a smuggler just about, but it really is only good for fighting out in the open now.
Ok, newbie question time. I'm not familiar with DWB or Avatar station. where are they and what would I expect to find there, and is it doable solo?

I keep wondering if I should pick up Novice Rifleman, though. MBH is getting a nice new master-level LLC, and the rifle mods may be nice.
hadn't hear about that, good to know, I guess you have 3 options now.
Ahhh yeah.... Heavy Lightening Cannon. The TC ones are looking to be around 290 base dps.... can't remeber the damage on them. Problem was they had a horrific HAM cost of like 133 or something was what I read.

DWB is on Endor.... Avatar is in Kashyyykian space and is an instanced dungeon. You need to complete a serious of quests to gain access to the Avatar and the DWB all you have to do is talk to Boba Fett in Jabba's Palace. They are not soloable if you want to live, kill and loot.
And if I hear ONE word about jedi...
they're getting nerfed you know...

...... Damn we really did get ate up on The Avatar with a balanced group... lacking nerfherders though.

No reason to get my hands dirty when there are plenty of others that already do. I'll enjoy a drink at the bar while I'm waiting for the communique letting me know my components have been retreived. We'll work out the payment after goods have been procured.
If our Smuggler's Luck runs the way it's been going, we'll need Entertainer to get Smuggling Missions when they're added
S/BH does seem like a pretty solid template. I admit I'm mostly in it now for the KD though.
