My god, of all the things they could have done for Smugglers, I would have NEVER thought it would be this bad.


God im depressed now.







Pick up Rifleman if you WANT to do damage. You can still master smuggler and control as well as dish it out.






I never saw a Rifle in Han's hands in the movies. He had....oh yea... a PISTOL.


But wait, we cannot do any decent dammage with pistoleer anymore! Thats been relegated to crowd control too. Time to dump the o'le DE-10 for being useless.


ThisCU has made this game just a Sci-fi game, its no longer Starwars.







He didnt have that pistol in EP4 when they where in the brig rescueing the Princess. If I remember right, they were all running around with E11s in the deathstar after getting out of the trash compactor as well. Now, while it can be depated if the E11 he had was a carbine or rifle, it was certainly NOT a pistol. (remember..they went to the brig in ST armor..his pistol holster would have ratted him out.)


and the DE10 comment?You somehow know what will happen to the DE10 when this hasnt even gone to TC yet? Give me a break.

/agree


Smuggler deals out moderate damage. Probably exactly where pistol damage should be


So Pistoleer/Smuggler+ DE-10 = pretty damn effective if you ask me.

Early on when people were bitching about DE-10s sucking, it was said they were already "balanced" for the CB or CR or whatever. But that doesn't mean they won't get a balance pass now... seems like a lot has changed.

As far as what Han had...does it matter really? Smugglers use what benefits them the most. Given the choice of fighting with a pistol or a rifle, I am sure Han would take the weapon most appropriate for the job. There really is no such thing as your standard Smuggler save that we are all supposed to Smuggle.

I would not get all bent out of shape by the use of "fantasy based" roles. The first few MMORPG were fantasy based, and because of that, a language developped to describe roles in a MMORPG, and that languagereflect the fantasyorigin. Even if it was not SOE and they didn't had EQ and EQ2 running, they still would talk of tanking and mezzing as roles.


So basically, thoses "roles" are MMORPG design terminologyused ina design decument. I doubt in game we will see that terminology used.


As for the choice of making us "mezzers"... Several persons proposed, in "alternative to FD" threads, a "delay" tactic, a stun that would allow us to get away. This IS "mezzing". Altough peoples can dislike that choice of course, not arguing that. Personally I will test before making up my mind about it.

Not to flame...but Han Solo is not the end-all / be-all Smuggler role model for some of us. The Smuggler profession should not be tied down to JUST one specific weapon because that's all you saw someone use in the movies. Smugglers are a diverse group of people, and should therefore be able to diversify their skills.


You wanna be a Han Solo fanboi? That's your perogative. But it ain't my cup of tea. Sure, I like Han, but despite popular opinion, he is NOT the first example I think of when I think of Smugglers. I'm more of a Talon Karrde or Booster Terrik fan, myself.


Anyway. If you would like to continue your ranting feel free. The truth is, it ain't changing, so either learn to live with it, or move on.
