May I ask (I did not find the answer on the official list). With "Anger" added... who uses panic shot?


Improved Concussion Shot:
40 sec
x0.25 damage
Unable to take action.
Modify movement speed. (ROOT)

Improved Panic Shot
25 sec
x0.25 damage
Unable to take action.




--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

I keep it on my bar, but as of two days ago... it just doesn't work. it is supposed to be a daze, meaning the person affected can not act. in reality the person affected can not shoot. Doesn't stop melee only ranged. It also has no root snare effect so taking a step nullifies the daze as well. Yes I bugged it and posts have been made as to what it's actual purpose is now that it is no longer a daze ability due to the nerf.

Does sound good on paper though doesn't it? Of course an ability similar to stasis can not be allowed.

As far as I know, Concussion Shot is a Daze, Panic Shot is supposed to be a Delay.
Daze add's root, Delay does not.


I learned about this issue when the Rifleman correspondant reminded me that their 5sec "delay" (Startle Shot) was effected by anger too... (what are you supposed to do with 5 seconds "delay" each 35 seconds? Run behind a tree? ).


Then I remembered that smuggler'sweaker "delay" (panic shot)is far shorter (-15sec)than their stronger "daze" (concussion shot). So with "Anger" added to the game Panic becomes redundant.

Also keep in mind that dot dmg and any form of dmg will negate our daze. CM's Commandos and any ranged ae or jedi spin attack and it is rendered useless. However anger state still goes on. Also, the daze effects are delay effects. It was supposed to be similar to disarming shot, but was reworked from test center. A couple of different times i might add. Then when it was abused by BH on jedi it was nerfed again. Also once you take a step the effect goes away from what I have seen. As long as you are moving Panic Shot does nothing.
