Whatdoes it do?! All it seems to do is hurt me by giving me -80 defense and not adarn thing to them!? What gives? It doesn't seem to do any extra dmg to the target either.

You sure you got your gun pointed in the right direction?

Last night Ireplaced Reckless Shotwith Body Shoton my toolbar, that -80 Defense really kills it's usefulness. I immediately noticed the difference. In my opinion, Reckless shot just isn't worth the trouble of the defense penalty.

To me, smuggler is a game of give and take and higher risks than any other profession. Reckless is just... well it's retarded. It doesn't hit as hard as critical nor head shot I believe. It takes a thwack of action. And to top it off, it gives a nasty penalty to the user.
I'm all for the penalty. It's very much in the smuggler vein. But man, up the damage. Risk... reward. This just gives us risk with no real reward.

It does a little extra damage over Ranged Shot and gives you a defense penalty. Basically Smuggler is not an uber combat class but they gave us Reckless Shot as our spammable combat ability just so we'd have one. You're better off using your other moves from other professions, but if you don't have one you can use Reckless Shot.

One on one, not so useful. In a group when there are no agros on you, kinda useful. Also useful after a knockdown/kite. If you're not going to get hit, you might as well take the penalty.
