Smuggler is pretty popular now. What you mean to say is that Smuggler will be the PVP FOTM. They will come and go and never learn what it is to be a Smuggler. Their loss.

I KNOW that fighting one on one is going to be harder- but if it REALLY bothers someone that much I could get Stopping Shot. Seeing as you already have Stopping Shot- I don't see why you are being such a victim about this.

hmmm mabie because stopping shot only lasts 15 seconds and takes like 2 min b4 u can use it again because pistoleer is not crowd control

but since smuglers ARE crowd control we had a LONER LASTER FASTER RECYCLING version to aid us in this

now they take that away and were left with WHAT exactly ???

wow ill have more crowd control from pistoleer and uh oh wait more defs from pistoleer and uh oh yeah more offence from pistoleer

and well yeah MORE OF EVERYTHING

for something that costs signifacntly more skill points ill get quite a bit less out of it than i do from pistoleer

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT

if u cant understand that then u shouldnt be playing this or n e other game

The new concussion shot is going to be somewhat more powerful.. but of course, people are only looking at it through the narrow lens of dueling.

Sure, I can think of a few ways that in a duel, having 2 mez shots will make it very hard for someone to beat me.. but if anything, this just shows how much of a sad state PvP is in.. that 'dueling' becomes the standard. The reality is that all of the power and 'magic' of a 40 second root/mez is worthless if its group pvp and you have no idea how to coordinate with your fellow PvPers. In that light, the real usefulness of the new concussion shot will probably be out of the grasp of a large majority of players who rank their ability to PvP based on their dueling capability.

So if a player's entire PvP life/experience is duels, then they may find this to be a great blessing. But for those who enjoy group PvPing, I am sure you will find that the true reward of this change will be the ability to use it effectively when most other smugglers will not.

Um, wow.

Please remove yourself from this forum of intelligent, coherent conversation and head back to the sandbox where the Jedi play.

They even have a little helmet waiting for you.

I am Jack's Smirking Revenge. I am Jack's Ignored Profession.
Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

The smuggler prof is about to be the #2 prof behind BH being #1.

Why?

Till pub 20 or 21 you will have a "kill jedi for free" button, as they have discoverd on test center. A Dev has swept into action, and said pub 20-21 will have the fix in it.

So thats a solid guarantee on the time they have to FOTM over to smuggler, and double xp will help that a lot!

Dont kill the messenger lol

Iwonder if anyone can really make sense out of going to a profession that will only be useful to them for three to six weeks. All that grinding just to drop it again?

...oh wait, this is SWG. Better find a good chef to start that pie order.

As far as killing the messenger... well, I thinkyou've seen too much.

I'd be suprised if anyone had a token respec left since the dam thing kept popping up every 3 min.

I've been a smuggler since I started in '04, so I think I'm allowed to post in here and not get flamed, eh?
Who knows, those smugglers are a dangerous crowd.

Anyways, On topic:
This new concussion shot does exactly what it is supposed to in terms of crowd control. I agree with Fitzhume, we may not powerful in duels, but we aren't supposed to be exactly. Crowd control means there is a crowd, right? So say you're in a massive PvP war, 5 people rushing at you and your group, you mez the first 4, and then you pick off the fifth, then you pick of the fourth, then you mez the remaining 3, then you pick off the third, then you pick off the blah blah, get it?

Maybe that's cheap, but I'm a smuggler soooo.

Oh wells. There's two cents from an '04 smugglez.

[Edit]
Concerning fighting jedi, since alot of people are, say you are almost dead, you decide that your LD can't finish off the job, you could concussion shot them (complete lockdown) and you don't have to attack again, people know this right? You could sit there for 40 seconds healing yourself and then start attacking again. Just a thought.

Well, I havent been a smuggler from day one or anything but I didnt resp[ec to master smuggler wither. One month pre Cu I redid my entire template the old fashioned way. Grinding it out by buying up tons of locked containers, getting guild support for them, hitting high spawn spots like the sennex caves. You all get the picture. Point is, just like when I did my BH grind, I learned my profession on the way up the ranks. I didnt respec then start asking everyone "please tell me how to slice?". If the profession badge thing is still on hold, the ones not carrying the badge should be ignored for any and all assistance. Not that you would need that to figure them out. Honestly though, if PVP is your thing, this is the wrong profession to be in. We are far form the "uber" template list.

Yeah, you may 'pwn' at PVP. Dont let it go to your head. It ain't real. you probably had a lot of milk money beaten out of you in the past.

Hey, I've recently started a toon on a new server. I have MM and almost MS. Of course no profession badges because.......I didn't respec it.

Not to say that with dbl xp and no slicing xp that it is as difficult as before.
