I still find one of the better solutions to fix this exploitation of the skill to be disallowing in dabbling of Star Wars three Iconic professions(not my idea, but I still like it), meaning no Smuggler can have any skill points in Bounty Hunter nor can they reach Padawan status untill they drop all skill points invested in Smuggler. Same goes for Bounty Hunter, and Jedi Padawan.

Ide rather see a smugglers character turn "a corpse of ..." when he uses feign death....it looks exactly the same as if you were dead, but when you start shooting on the corpse...he can still loose ham, incap and die...but the trick is to find ways that will actually fool an Player opponent tha he is dead.

Yup, that was the idea behind my suggestions.




yep...though you mentioned incapped...I think "looking dead" would benefit smuggler more plus people will most likely ignore an allready made corpse...

Though it's already been said, and though I don't post here often, I find this action by the devs unacceptable. The issue of course revolves around the dabblers.


As said, the easiest, and most viable solution is move Feign Death to Master Smuggler box. That way we have a REAL bonus instead of hidden slicing bonuses. It keeps our profession happy AND solves the overall issue admirably without coding any serious changes to the game.


Just my two cents. I know SOE will lose a lot of accounts over this. The smuggling community has been incredibly patient. FD is one of the few skills we have left. I hope they tread carefully here.
