I have read a number of posts on the abuse of FD by jedis and BH. Which I can see the point of as my alt is a BH. Nothing more annoying then finding a jedi and haveing them FD on me on sight. Ran up on a batch of padawans a couple months back just to watch as they all hit the FD.

On the other hand my smuggler is an augment for my weaponsmith one I might add I am paying heavy for. Sure I would love to have anyother combat class stacked on my weaponsmith. Most would be less point intensive, and allow me more leeway in pvp or pve. So when I hear people talking about giveing the FD a roll or other classes getting an awareness. I say no uhuh bad move.

We really cannot afford to have the only effective move smugglers have to be relegated to a roll of luck. This move saves my life when four lesser bocatts come jumping me at a harvester. This move is what keeps me from getting murdered by thugs in mos eisley. I could see the logic if the combat in smuggler had more to offer but it dosent.

Every post I read on the subject says lets change FD in some fundamental way to deny the abusers in the game. Unfortunately I atleast have never seen the good idea of how to compensate for the loss of such a fundamental move. I havent really heard alot about giveing smugglers a new move or improveing existing ones. I am not hearing about increaseing smuggler skill mods, or even giveing smuggler even one decent pistol certification.

I find it kind of sad as a class smuggler is so beat down upon. That we can find ourselves justifying a nerf being layed down upon us because of what another class is doing. I find it sad when I hear smugglers say well I am all for nerfing FD, because its takeing away value to hardcore smugglers. Anyone else feal a little disturbed by the attitudes as of late when it comes to talkeing about modifying FD.

Hey I am not for abuseing it, but my smuggler is a non combat oriented profession. I am not chokeing down food and wearing heavy armor. Its a dh17 and FD standing between me and a daily trip to the cloner. What are your guys thoughts?

The one star bandit strikes. How pathetic can someone really be.

Some forum members are just tired of the feign death conversation. We have a dozern or so threads dedicated to it with lengthy ideas and one-upmanship going on. I'll try to counterbalance the rating though out of principal.

I'm all for a complete redesign of the skill myself so as to not encourage griefing mechanics or immersion breaks in the gameplay in ways that just don't make sense.

We'll find out what the developers intend on the sandbox stuff asap. TIll then we have no clue what they have in mind.

Yep, though I wasnt the one to one star since I never 1 star.

You bring up valid points but a lot of us went through a whole big thing a month or two ago about this. Its like most things in the game.. thereis more than one side to it.

Thanks for the thoughts and the stars. I am happy to hear not everyone is jumping on the nerf first ask questions later bandwagon.
