Thread: Way to pull you out of FD

that's not a good idea to put it higher for smugglers, i did go smuggler first and before any other profession (at the time it was armorsmithing i was expecting to do). If you have ever tried to grind upsmuggler without the FD ability and without any pistoleer skills, you'll see how hard, long, and difficult it is.
As long as you'll need so much pistol XP to get to master, you'll need FD easily accessible for novice smugglers.
FD is as usfull as panic shot or low blow in the grind, I know coz atm im 3040 on my way back to master, not saying moving it up is a good idea either all I wanted to say was tampering with it has every chance of making it usless.

Just like they were going to go back and re-evaluate the panic shot change. Go on, pull the other one.

What is FD for?
what is/was the original puropse of this skill?
the nerf bat is comming for fd, geez the only ones crying louder than the jedi are the BH (might be the other way round)
as a low lvl jedi fd is NOT a "I win card" its a draw at best. no high lvl jedi has fd nor needs it, it is some escape for a lower lvl jedi who will have problems living thru an attack from a BH.
now if FD is tampered with I just cant see how it can remain usfull. anyone having a 1 in 1000 chance means the skill is borked, so if it must be messed with move it to a higher lvl skill block but ffs dont ruin it for smuggler.
Most of the people posting about this are true smugglers, not dabblers. We're not templaters maxing out our mods and abilities to compliment each other. (Some use the "triple threat" or "pistol" templates, but most have MASTERED smuggler.) The problem lies in the fact that one of our few useful features or moves is once again being affected by other professions. The chef revamp destroyed our spices. A game changed screwed up our auto pull. Changes to other lower level/tier skills caused them to nerf panic shot. The list goes on and on.
Instead of the fixes and attention that our profession has been told it would get we have gotten nothing while they continue to focus on other professions (jedi) and continue to further diminish us.
This isn't about jedi or BH love or hate... it's about getting our due. Do not break us because other professions choose to hijack our skills in order to create a stalemate. They've proven (thorugh their actions) that they're more concerned with fixing every other profession instead of ours, so fix them and quit destroying ours.

Carefull Geevo, I might have to start calling you TH with that answer. That's a cop oluot answer and you know it. FD just needs to be build from the ground up.

On another note ... would you rather the riflemen get something like this? Medics? Carbineers? I am quite happy it is Jedi rather than any other profession.

1. I love this community, nowhere else on the forums can I speak my my mind and not get 1-starred when it differs with the community as a whole.
2. I respect everyone's opinion on this issue, and will happily go along if they change it so that there is not a break to FD.
3. It does not bother me with the current Jedi break of FD ... however there are MANY other issues with FD that I do think need to be fixed.
