Thread: Looking for a smuggler template?
Really, IMO, it boils down to what you like. I have been Master Smuggler/ Master pistoleer for the longest time.I dropped the Pistolsfor Carbineer, then dropped it for BH to pick up the Smuggling gear and have a nice flow of cash regularly.
I, as of this week, dropped BH for Master Squad Leader to help my wife (Master CH/BE) in hunting and I have found it is 100 times more useful in groups than BH ever was.
Basically the sky is open for just about any other profession out there, just find something you really like and run with it.
Good Luck!

If you are looking for the best pve template - drop Smuggler. If you are a Smuggler at heart and wish to make it pve viable, I recommend BH with xx2x medic.
dont worry.. and i havent tried this yet, but... i hear even if you drop smuggler completely you retain the ability to not smuggle... must be a bug. I should take advantage of it before they fix it. geese i better act fast!
I have found the following enjoyable.
Master Smuggler... (how does it feel to be the only one to survive... GREAT! Too many mobs? Hah! Those guys are under control.)
Master Commando... (new specials (thanks)! Imperial detonators make great piket stampede breakers!)
3000 Combat Medic. (Got to fill up those FS luck boxes somehow)
Master Pilot (Corsec)
(former 4334 shipwright, former field surgeon)
Colonel Aprry Barnwyr - Captain of the "CorsecField Judge" (M-22 Krayt)
"How can yoube a smuggler and a law enforcement officer? Its easy, I don't smuggle anything."

sploitz !!!!
I hear now that Mos Eisley noobs have been given the ability to not smuggle. This is outragous that we invest so many skill points in not being able to smuggle yet other professions get to not smuggle with absolutely no SP cost. I say nerf Mos Eisley noobs!!!!!!!
I've played around with my template endlessly. Right now I am Master Smuggler/Master Commando/Pistols and it's effective but not the end-all be-all. With the new weapons and specials for commando it might even be a little better. TBH the most effective template I found was master smugler / master rifles / pistols. The crowd control aspect of smuggler overcame the crowd control weakness in rifles, and the better damage in rifles made up for the lack of it in smuggler. Plus last ditch with a T21/ALR is always nice. Alot of people will recommend putting some healing in your template, but I hate losing the potential offensive capability. Stims/ruby bliel are always available or just hunt with a healer.
Carbines work well also, plus they give you another armor cert. I just enjoyed the ability to crowd control from 64 meters (ranged arms are great to).
I really can't recommend the smugler/bh combo. It's just too much of a skill point sink to me to have to hybrid professions in one template. I just think you leave too much on the table.
