Im new to smuggler and i quite enjoy it apart from the tells of can you slice this and that when im in the middle of combat (character searchable now switched off) but i would appreciate it if somebody could explain the 'crowd control' concept whilst pvping. I dont pvp much only now and again but if i as a smuggler have a hidden talent in 'crowd control' i would like to exploit it. BTW im MS MP CM4000

Thanks for the advice

I found the crowd control abilities of a pistoleer/smuggler to be great in group combat. Take gurk grinding on Lok. We go in a group to kill a lair. In a non-AoE group, (which means only hitting one mob at a time instead of just hitting everything at once) if the group is busy fighting one gurk and I saw another one with the "?" pop up over his head, followed by the "!", i went ahead and used concussion shot on him in order to keep him from entering in and giving the group two critters to deal with. Concussion is a root which keeps the mob from moving. In the case of critters, if you're far enough away, they can't hit you with any attacks since they are melee. So basically, they stand there while you and your group beat up on the first gurk. And by the time the second one has sat through the concussion timer, your group is ready to take him down.

This is one use of crowd-control that I frequently used.

concusion shot yes not as good as when it was "broken" but still a good CrowdControl skill good long root but breaks when the target is hit again, so in pvp if your facing multiple opponents and your team is disciplined you can root one or more opponets and concentrate on dealing with another target. In one on one PVP the root will give you time to heal up a lil before you hit again , think of it as thumping your target on the head then having a sandwich real quick before he comes to lol
