Part of being a Smuggler is *not* being the best, *not* being uber and *not* picking what necessarily makes sense






QFE


I'm content if I can just rattle the squares.


I once used a revenge TEF in the middle of 7-15 Jedi, knowing full well what would happen, just to /bitchslap the guy who killed me. Knocked him on his ass, and feigned. All the rebels were cracking up and the Imperials were just completely baffled by the fact that I would do that. The guy never even saw it coming.


I stripped naked, cloned and insure, went overt, and ran into Theed, spamming a macro of /shout SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM!HELP HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!


I've completed the Corvettedestroy mission in under 3 minutes without killing a single trooper.


And lest we not forget, I've been subverting the forums to my own twisted ends for a while now.

I'll lay a Melee stacker (yes they do still exist), a doc/carb/defense stacker, or a rifleman/defense stacker against any combo with BH in it any day. I will fight any other template with BH in it and win at least 50% of the time. I don't care if they have rifles, carbs, commando, or the GOD HIMSELF profession as their other prof. Those above profs? Okay, if I time my roots/KDs right I can take the melee guy (if I don't run out of action before his Health is halfway down), The doc/carb guy is healing himself to full every time, while keeping me "crowd-controlled" and the rifleman/defense guy is literally just standing there shooting me, and I'm watching my health go down, while his is being touched maybe half as much. And some of those template can include smuggler, for the root and the delays. So saying that Smug/BH is the uberest Smuggler template is overestimating the smuggler/bh as well.


Anyone who chooses this FOTM combo, or even a BH/blank or Smuggler/blank combo will be gone within a month, off to some stacker template.





Did you even read what I wrote in this thread? I don't even know where you were going with this post. The only thing I can figure out is you pointing out that there are plenty of viable templates that doesn't include BH, which was my whole point in this thread in the first place

Sorry, maybe I didn't BOLD the specific part of your post, my bad.

You are correct,the BH.Smuggler isn't even close to the uber templates out there. BH/rifle and BH/Carbine are far superior as far as PVP is concerened. Whoa... BH is in those templates, so guess what.... yourgoing to be seeing a lot of Bounty Hunters.Do you really think your the only ones who see the benefit of adding BH to your template? Welcome to being a part of the masses.






Hope that clears up what I was referring to

There is a reason you see all these BHs being added to temps. The Content. The Ranged/Defense specials and The fact that it's suppossed to be the best 1 on 1 there is.


wait that's three reasons.


The other reason (dev style) is the jedi population is greatly out of control and growing. They WANT this.



I guess that's four reasons...

I know


Normally i don't like Jedi but in the case of Benny boy Kenobi (the Oh Gee), I take exception. Because he established that everything I say is true, if only to me


Oh yea, OWK 4tw.

After reading this thread I have opted for Smuggler/BH with xxx4 pistoleer for extra defenses.

To make this clear, I consider myself a smuggler first and foremost and BH is taken mostly for its specials and over all ability. It will help in base takedowns as well which I particpate in. I am sure at some stage I may take a Jedi mission to see what all of the fuss is about but I can't see me wanting to take them very often as lets face it, if a Jedi see's you coming he's either gonna run away, log off or if you're lucky stay and fight and I am not convinced that BH is as good at 1 v 1 as its supposed to be after I tested it with commando on TC5 (Tho I was veyr unfamiliar with everything). My days will still be spent doing everything that I did before as a smuggler but when I have the odd free time, I may just dip into BH and see whats up with it, but my Master Smuggler tag will remain...and to be honest I also have no idea what other prof would suit Smuggler....

I also will most likely go MSmuggler/MBH Novice commando(for the weak area of effect launcher pistol...might take pistoleer though if flamethrower stays non commando certed) and novice artisan to survey my own resources for spices since they are actually useful atm.


One thing to point out though is that concussion shot isn't supposed to be a root. In fact its supposed to be a mez attack that not only roots the enemy, but it also prevents the enemy from attacking at all during the duration of the effect or until someone attacks that target enemy. If they ever fix this then Pistoleer will root and Smugglers mez. Also after some testing with Wuha we've discovered that disarming shot is very useful against enemies that are using an autoattack. Disarming shot disables the autoattack and you have to hit a special attack to fight again. I thought at first that it would be the pistoleer version of panic shot but it isn't. So pistoleerwould still beviable and a useful supplement once they fix concussion shot so that it actually is a mez. Of course even if they fix concussion to be a mez...MBH will still be good since they are supposed to be the best on on one profession(most likely due to duelist stance...which is also broke since it doesn't reflect damage back to the attacker as it is supposed to).

Well I will pick up some BH yeah sure. I was a tripple master and did think about Smuggler/TKM with a touch of Commando but in the end I wanted to feel like I was playing a star wars game. Right now I am still leaning heavy to pistols rather then BH as a second master but we do have sometime to test things out and change them so I have no idea what my final template will be yet.
