I haven't seen anyone mention this before...but I discovered a nice little way to use last ditch in PvP. I've only played with it 1v1, and managed to pull it off a few times against jedi.
Make sure you're 15+ meters from your opponent, then last ditch them when you have full health, then immediately use concussion shot on them. If it sticks, then you're left with barely any health left (perfect for last ditch) and they're stuck at about 1/2 to 3/4 health. Use /aim if you have it, then last ditch 'em again. You may even have time to go prone.
I know this isn't super viable in large scale PvP, but 1v1 it can be a nasty little smuggler-y trick.

The last few times i used last ditch i incapped from it. I thought it was supposed to leave you alove but with a tiny amount of health now? I did have 101 wounds on me those few times though so maybe the coding behind it doesnt take those in to account and sets your health too low....anyone else had this problem?

You might want to /bug that, LD is only supposed to leave you with 50 health, not incap you.

Stick imp concussion shot with a rocket launcher, they will be on their arse the whole time until you sniper shot, LD or whatever. That's also a great way to put something down while your entire group powers up for one massive money shot on 'em.
Last Ditch powered up with advanced aim from a rifleon a KDed foe is brutal.
That's why I hate looping combat macros. They always break the mez and undermine timed things like this. The only macros I haveare a recovery one and a stand/sit.

I've already been testing this out. 2 things go wrong with this. 1st after you use LD you don't enough action to immediately use concussion shot (which is now a bit of an action hog) you have to wait at least a few seconds aka time enough for a saber throw to kill you if you are bh'ing. 2nd is the timer on LD, I believe it's 60 seconds now and the timer on concussion is only 45 seconds so your opponent has time to heal in between unless you can keep on landing panic shot. Which against a lot of jedi's is hard because you miss a lot. On that note Last Ditch likes to miss a lot in my experience.
So on the whole the idea isn't bad and it's possible it can work but there is a lot that can go wrong and make you a 1 hit kill. So proceed at your own risk.
May I suggest if you are a rifleman smuggler that you start off with a sniper/bomb droid (droids are still tricky but can work) combination and follow up as soon as you can with a concussion. Use your LD on a nearby mob or teammate prior to engaging. Then you may get your incap.

it's good to be back
