Smuggler Archive

Ive updated the guide with the new info on the rage state that you get when a mez breaks. see the highlighted text in each post for details.

Also ive removed the links to the icons in post one because this crappy lythium powered board was constantly killing th elinks every time I edited these posts.

We're Charley Brown, the Dev's are lucy and the Smuggler revamp is the football.

Every time we think, this is the time were gona get to kick the football Lucy pulls it away at the last minute.

I only have one thing to say aauugghh!

A Guide To Crowd Control In SWG

Rage Added 20th July 2005

As of publish 20, the gits, sorry Devs at SOE have included a feature to stop you spaming concusion shot and panic shot. If your mez breaks on a mob either due to them being hit or the timer on the mez running out the mob gets a state called Rage. This stops you applying any daze effects to them again for 20 seconds.

There are two ways round this. Put on panic shot first so that when the mez times out you can then hit them with concs shot as this is not just a daze but a root as well and will apply.

Or you can use the exploit way, if you reaply concusion shot before it's timer has expired, it will stick. This must be done when there are less than 10 seconds remaining on the mez for it to work. This appears to be a bug that may be fixed in a future publish. How ever this way does not work if the mez is broken by a player attack on the mob.

With good judgement and timing you should be able to be as efective a CC as before these changes were added but SOE have definatly upped the stakes here.

ok heres a thought.. probably obvious enough that everyone will have thought of it allready... and it will only be effective against melee mobs but..

panicshot.... concussion shot... stoppingshot... repeat that should keep them out of your hair until the rage wears off
