I am a complete idiot on this class, but also very curious.
Do smugglers get things and smuggle them past the Imperials?
Do they just get nice little perks to help in combat?
Do they get special quest?
Too bad they left the criminal faction out. I think it would have been nice to be a smuggler and get a TEF for transporting illegal material.
Oh I am a Novice Pistoleer right now. I have all tier 3 levels in the scouting profession. But don't know what else I am going into.

ive had a look at the smuggler tree and was wondering what the hell do you lot do? and why is it worth it? i can see why slicing is important but the rest seems pointless to me.

Right now, there isn't much for us to do besides slicing, which you seem to think is our only redeeming quality. Keep that in mind next time you run around wanting your armor or weapon sliced and can't find anyone to do it.

Well you don't see anything good about it...I would suggest not wasting your skill points on a proffession that you see no use in. I understand your question, but comming on our forums and labeling us as useless or pointless will not get you the answer you are looking for.

Sumgglers are wonderful things, their tops are made out of rubber, and their bottoms are made out of springs.... no wait thats tiggers... Smugglers are good damage dealers and slicing is nothing to sneeze at either...

Cool pistol moves, but no mods.
Making Spices, even though they're pretty much obsolete.
Slicing, OH YEAH
Faction Point selling, and other tricks related to faction.
I remember when I first looked at the smuggler tree. I was like "What they heck? 3 of those trees are fine but one of them is totally empty, except for languages, whichI already know." I honestly thought that the whole underwold tree was completely empty and was only there to get the Master Smuggler Title, which was also completely useless. Then I read the dscriptions.

Heheh..you just have to be careful around these forums, as the majority of us who have been smugglers for a time tend to be very cranky when it comes to the subject of "what good are we?".
But yes, good pistol specials (when paired with pistoleer), feign death (always handy in sticky situations), spices (not worth it with chef food being so powerful), slicing (always good for a quick buck, assuming you can actually nail a decent one).
I won't lie, smuggler isn't all it COULD be, but hopefully our revamp will fix that.

What's so good about smuggling?
- You can make money in 4 different ways using 4 separate skills. Sell faction with Underworld, Slice with Slicing, Missions with Dirty Fighting, and sell spice with Spices.
- You only lose half the FP for a PvP death.
- You can buy faction.
- You get a discount on faction perks.
- You can slice weapons and armor.
- You can slice terminals for higher paying missions.
- Only ranged KD with a pistol.
- Only ranged state attack (not counting dizzy) with a pistol.
- Only class with a special that prevents a deathblow.
- The most powerful single pistol shot in the game.
- The return on investment for spice is virtually unparalleled.
- The quality of resources for crafting play no part.
- The pre-reqs allow you to master 2 full elite combat class in addition to smuggler.
- The crafting lines do not require artisan. This results in more points for other crafting professions or merchant.
- To make the best products or provide the best service, we do not require another profession (like chefs and BEs.
- Rogue is a pretty cool title.
