Well there is still the DF-branch. And that is more combat than spices.

I'm not expecting any changes from the CU. I don't see us as a Combat class. The way I see it is we'll have to wait for the CU, then the GCW revamp to lay the context in which the SMuggler revamp will sit. Both if them need to be fixed before we know where we'll sit, if that makes any sense.

I'd assume they were making reference to my post (stickied) on the CU and spices; to dateit's all that's been released on changes that are Smuggler related in the CU.

Well do not forget the weapons redispersal and redefinition. The devs have promissed to rework the weapons in the game. Too make more of them more valuable, but there is also the hope that smuggler might finally get a smuggler specific pistol. Plus there is always the hope that the profession might also get some modest accuracy speed bonuses.
Spice upgrade is nothing small. Aslong as it goes to where it should be beyond food and spices. If it dosent people will still not use spice. Why use it when you can drink some brandy and sit in line for ten minutes and be good for three and a half hours.
Smuggler is neither a crafting or combat class. On one half sure smugglers can craft but so can scouts. The crafting is so mundane for smugglers I hesitate to call it crafting. Heck both medic and scout take more effort to craft on. The combat moves in smuggler are so bad. That players more readily rely on marksman shots. Then smuggler moves asside from FD.
In a nutshell smuggler falls along the lines of image designer and entertainer. How warped is that.

That's not strictly true.
Agreed we need to couple up pistols with Pistoleer or BH, but the shots we have are the envy of Pistoleers for sure. LowBlow is a good enough shot and Panic Shot is amazing when you're grouped. And as for Last Ditch, well....pumping out 5k+ damage a second with a decent DE-10 leaves the poor Pistoleers looking rather outgunned.
Honestly, I don't see the complainst about SMuggler combat skills as justified. Or if they are, they're not half as critical as the lack of smuggling/underworld abilities. And I feel if we're to push with a co-ordinated voice, we really need to push for Smuggler content, not combat skills or mods.

Don't have much hope for much for Smugglers until our revamp comes around (if it ever does). We may get some new spices in the CU, maybe a few pathetic attacks... but that's about it.
Really, I don't have much hope for Smugglers in the future considering all the pushing off the Devs have given us.

I'll be happy with the updates to the Pistoleer Prof from the Upgrade. The only problems I've had with Smuggler for Combat is that it would be nice to see some Unarmed skills in Ditry Fighting, but the skills we actually do have Rock. I'm just worried that the BH/Jedi will get FD nerfed. The CURB just makes me more excited because one that is done, hopefully we will be soon after.
