Thread: Concussion Nerf?
Figures. I don't really use it much, but I did notice that you can't chain-dazeit anymore.
I was riding my swoop on Dath tracking an NPC mark, and all of the sudden a Singing Mountain Clan camp sprung up with me and my swoop inside one of the huts. Just my luck, the exit of the hut is blocked off by a rock. So I decide my only way of getting out is to kill the spawns until the hut disappears. I start fighting, and all of the sudden these chicks start using Saber armor break on me. Yes that's right, the jedi armor break being used by these chickas. OUCH. I'm getting beat down enough by 2 of these an a rancor that I'm starting to get worried, so I start dishing out the concussion shots. I concuss 2, then go back to fighting the one.
Now concussion shot wears off, but I can't stick another one on right away like you could before. I can still stick a panic shot on them, but no concussion. Panic shots wear off, and I still can't concussion them again. Looks like the anger timer starts after the daze wears off, not at the beginning like it used to. I found it kind of strange thoughthat I could stick panic shot during the anger timer and not concussion shot.
Oh well, made me last long enough to outlive the hut, so I guess that's good enough. What's with the SMC's using saber armor break though? Never had that happen before today, and there were two of them doing it. The nightsisters I went up against didn't use it... just these SMC's.

Yeah, they have different debuffs that don't effect each other. Start with Panic shot if it's gonna be a longer fight. Panic, concussion, panic. The first panic timer will wear off by the time the concussion shot ends its daze. 80 seconds of dazing total before the 20 second gap where they can't be dazed. If you're on a larger group of enemies alternate starting with panic and concussion so they don't all have their 20 second window at the same time

No, you don't get it... I could NOT land concussion shot aftera panic shot at ALL, but I could do it the other way around.
Blows.

Some high-level NPC's, like the bigass stormtroopers with jetpacks on are ALWAYS -IMMUNE- to dazes.
Dark Troopers are droids, and droids are immune to many states.

What I find interesting is when taking on bounty marks (I know... I'm one of those MS/MBH's) - If I bleed the mark, the damage from the bleed will break the concussion (or panic for that matter).
Blows.
Obvious if you read what concussion does you know

Today while taking out some NPCs at a Rebel Base I was unable to stick Concussion on the level 90+ NPCs. Prior to this I had no problem sticking the Concussions. I used a Rocket Launcher to KD them and Panic them. After Panicking them the Concussion would then stick. Prior to using Concussion I would get -Immune-.

Sir, you should be shot for having such a hideous signature.
