Slicing is a joke right now. There is no set formula. I was under the impression smuggler was finally getting fixed with rotw patch? It took all these years to wait for a smuggler revamp and its still not getting fixed? Let me guess image designer is more important then smuggler again? Can we please get this prof fixed finally?

Hi Folks,
i did my first slices after CU, results:
Scatter Pistol 9% damage
Elite Laser Carbine 0% speed
Elite Laser Carbine -3% speed
Elite Laser Carbine 12% damage
E5 -2% speed
Intimidation Pistol something -5% speed

Later on, i got a 30% effectivness on some comp armor.


What the hell is going on with that negative slices?

These were weapons of one of my best customer who trusted me, as I almost hit arround 30% before cu. Now i crashed his stuff, which was really good before the slice.


Is it possible, that negative slices makes an pre-cu uber weapon to fit into the new balance system?

well here's a fun one for all -- I just spent 750K for faction Imperial Battle Armor, and a decent amount for some new padded...I am a master fencer so I am certified for battle armor... I tried both on and they were great, but then....

I got both suits sliced, and not only did the effectiveness NOT show, but the encumbrance INCREASED so now I have penalties on both.

Pretty interesting huh?

Profession: Master Smuggler


Equipment Sliced: 501-1014 Power Hammer


Slice: 6% Damage Range


New Damage Range: 518-1033


Actual Result: 1.03% Damage Range Slice



I think I'll hold off on slicing anything else.





We already got our revamp. They changed the names of the Spices skill tree to Delinquency, Isn't that enough for you greedy smuggler b*stards.

Tried doing some slicing last night after i downloaded the new patch, and i was getting pretty good results.


Got some great damage and good speed increases.


Anyone else? Or is it all still pretty bad for people?

So I suppose this is the reason they recalled their plans in the summer of '04for smugglers to sliceships? A dev made reference once how unstable coding slicing can be. Their later officialexcuse for their cancelling of smugs to slice ships was that "it would create an imbalance in space." Uh, I think they've done that by introducing the ROTW ships- space composite. I guess they meant it would create that imbalance because they can't code it right, or the guy who coded the original stableslicing system must have quit or something.

Armor Slicing....



Well, since I did not yet get my full Master Smuggler skills back (Chimaera, still waiting for some CSR to get it fixed), I got a request from the guild's AS to slice some armor.


What I noticed I got all EFFECTIVNESS slices, in the range from 5-8%. Yet, the number on the protection did not change at all...


Is this confirmed?


It looks to me like armor slicing is a) not working or b) not worth it anymore...

I just finished Master Smuggler today and tried to slice some of my armor. I noticed the same thing that you did, Dariane. I tried to slice two Tantel pieces that I had converted from pre-CU comp pieces. I applied molecular clamps and completed the slice, getting the message "You have successfully increwased the base effectiveness of your armor by 13%," but the stats did not change at all. Is anybody else noticing this? Is this happening because I'm trying to slice converted armor?

Since I'm not sure if this was converted armor from the guild's as, I cannot tell. However it was marauder armor. Have not had the abilitie to test it on other pieces. My AS (wow, that sounds bit weird tough) will make different pieces of armor (new, not converted) to see if it makes a change.
