Thanks man, but that wasn't creativity, that was something that hits close to home for me.

Talk about a day that someone flipped the wrong switch though. I had to redo it a couple times because I was getting so sick of the damned ribbons.

Now I'm just too damn lazy to change it.

I was out all day, but I'll go ahead and answer your question. Run. Run far away from my template. It was once a great template because I had good defenses and the ability to save my butt with Smuggler specials when needed. It was a survival template that is no longer anything near as productive as it used to be. I get more use out of Stopping Shot than anything else so if you're going for plain old fighting, my template is not where it's at.

Can you give me some stats on your template? I just hit Novice Smuggler/Novice Bounty Hunter on Shadowfire. Also some tips/specials that work well in battle would much appreciated.

Teh?

*rubs eyes*

whuuuuuuaaaa?

Guys.. he has a valid question.. sorry to interupt your laughing here.. but is THAT how we treat aspiring Smugglers lately? Have we come so low that we refuse to help the next generation of Smugglers? Many of us will be gone within the next month. Do you think Wes would thank us if we leave him a mess and turn this board, the best that SOE has into a one of whiny/flaming b!tches?

Relax, Smugglers. We get shafted once more.. yes.. We are frustrated and Angry. HELL YEA!

Lets help the guys that follow our tracks and not turn that Forum into the Jedi/BH alike.

Sincerly

oh i'm willing to help. but that question, and i'm not even sure what he was asking, was kinda out of the blue. stuck right in the middle of this thread...

/shrug.

I know.. i m sorry if it sounded to harsh, but 2 years of unlubbed shafting does scary things.

Sorry hun, 'Smug' iswhat we do.Can't help it.

As for tactics it really depends on what you plan on doing with the template. GCW PvP? Hunt Jedi? PvE? Hoard loot? Alone? With a group? Different tactics are required for each. We'd need more info on what exactly you're looking for before we can help you.

In that case.. sorry to say, but you might dont want to have Smuggler in your Temp then. No root, No states, No KD.. but a measly snare, 2 Daze effect that have a reaply timer, Feign Death which fails around 80% (at Master Smuggler), Last Ditch (High damage but if your target suvives it, you are dead) and not to forget Reckless Shot.

For solo you are gonna want Stopping Shot, no doubt, espectially for animals or melee mobs. Duelist stance is you friend for ranged mobs.

If you're going to be fighting multiples at once, make sure you take off auto fire so that you can effectively use Concussion Shot and panic shot. I'd suggest when useing panic shot to hit with underhanded shot first, then panic, that way they are totally unable to move, and when the mezz breaks you know it by the fact that they get up.

For damage output I used critical shot alternated with torso shot, as one recharges I fire the other. Get some good action recharging food/drinks/spices 'cause you have a good enough pistol speed you are going to run through your action fast.

For PvP I can't help much, havn't gotten into that much yet.

All good points, Arsani, but Smuggler adds kinda cheap ass defense mods, and no real damage. only uselfull is concussion shot, but withthe timer on it he is either dead or running when he get more then 2 mobs. Its sometimes even hard to fight 2 mobs. If he want Smuggler in his templete he should take Carbineer, for KD, Snare and high damage.. thats my advice. =)

Oh I agree totally. Smuggler/BH is a very gimped combination. Almost totally useless for solo combat. For group combat, well, you get me, Tsb, and ournon-smuggler 'brother' together for some hunting and we can totally control and entire nest of enranged rancors easy. But since thats the template he asked about, thats the one I answered for.
