QFE, but let´s not harbour any illusions here. This is not going to happen any time soon. And its not a Smuggler issue really, but rather whether players should be able to mix professions at all. If tailors suddenly got an one hit incapspecial, we would see lots of them mixed with whatever elite or hybrid combat profession is deemeduber at that moment.

Its a game really.


If you don´t like PVP, don´tgo forspecial forces.


If you mind getting hunted, don´t play a jedi.


If you feel you must play a jedi, keep away from the terminals.


If you insist on hunting in a party to speed up the grind, don´t use your lightsaber, robeor forceskills.


But if you really want to run around in full Jedi attire and show off in front of people - either be prepared to face the consequences or start playing KOTOR.


Just my two cents

KOTOR *owns*! Bioware is by far my favorite game company ever. Hurrah for bioware!

Anyways, LD is working as intended. Bounty hunters are abusing the first strike one way TEF to turn themselves into one shot glass cannons. What personally irks me is the lack of a fight. I win or they win and it's over. And mostly, they'd lose. I've had smuggler/bh use last ditch on me at the end of a good fight and a little part of me cheered inside seeing it well used.

Ah, but that´s the point, right? Nothing wrong about using LD as ... well... as a last ditch when you got cornered bad, when a 1/3 odd suddenly becomes very attractive. Now that´s how LD is intended to work anyway.



As for usingLD as a "first strike", well, a 1 in 3 chance doesn´t seem so bad to me when you get some 226k for the kill. That would be over 74k per average attempt. That is, if the Jedi doesn´t run in the first place.

So maybe I am an idiot, but I really can´t be bothered to hunt Jedi anyway.

Maybe LD should be a % of damage to the full health meter.


Like take off 95% health. That way if the jedi was just minding his own, and a BH hit him with it - the Jedi would have some time to react.


That would then still allow us who use it near the end of a battle (or the end of our life), we would (or SHOULD) have done at least 5% of damage to our target. Thus still enabling LD to work as intended for us too.


Just a thought.

After last night PvP fiasco on Ahazi - Rori I don't want to hear another damn Jedi complain about another profession's specials!

They complain about how they get incapped but don't mention the BS powers they have like "cloak". They can appear and disappear at will and there's not a damn thin that can be done about it. And they have the nerve to complain?!
