Well look at it this way... as long as BHs are using it.. someone the devs listen to would actually be upset when they remove our profession.... So, think of it as profession security.. with the latest kick to the nuts from TH on his FF post I think it's our only chance... (no, I'm not appeased by the fact that he actually acknowledged the smuggler's he still gave us the same BS answer we always get, so you shouldn't be happy with it either)

As far as Smuggler pistols...

low blow is alright, but it dosn't hit enough to be counted on... even vs someone with no KD defense it only hits the KD about 50% of the time, and with all the KD food and mods.. if you're into pvping at all with this template.. it's not very effective.. (against people who know how to play)

Panic shot is one of the more effective smuggler specials even since they changed it.. just make sure you make a macro for the hotkey, and not just the specials original button.. like this

/panicshot;

/peace;

if you don't do it like that and you're speed capped you'll knock them out of the delay with the second shot.. and panic is usually the best was to get in a heal or 2 if you have some medic

Last ditch is the most damaging pistol special, but then again, if you aren't speed capped it isn't worth it... if I recall corectly it is 10X not 6X... With my DE-10 I can get around 6-7k damage on a NPC that dosn't have high energy resists... but again.. it's random pools... so if you not lucky with it.. especially against a jedi.. (I assume you're hunting them since you are a BH) you'd be better off with torso shot, or even healthshot2... because those target a pool, and the health bleeds and burns that they have will keep ticking even when the jedu is blocking anywheres between 65-85% of your shots..

My Main is a smuggler, and I love the dirty fighting branch, but when it comes to my BH alt, I don't even bother with it.. it's not worth the extra skill points... there are no weapons mods.. FD dosn't work in pvp or pve really... you're better to pick up some more pistoleer... and some medic...

But, that's just one smuggler's opinion.

Thanks for the information. I understand how some of you don't like dabblers, but consider this... There are probably far more 3000 BH dabblers then there are Smugglers period. So I can sympathyze with your point, however; I don't see how a Bounty Hunter picking up some more pistol skills in your profession can hurt it.

Oh ok... I guess you're ONLY a Smuggler huh? No dabbling in other professions?

Come on.

Don't read too much into our cynicism...I just thought the reference to FD was very apt and a beautifully subtle dig

And, to answer your point, I'm a Master Smuggler, Master Pistoleer and TKM, so no, no dabbling for me. I guess you could call me pure.

Well, I'm a MBH an Master Pistoleer, and if I had the skill points Master Carbineer. However, when you have 18 points left, dabble you must.
