Thread: Concussion Shot? NSs? Smuggler Kicks ASS, Baby!!!
Great story 
Have you tried using Restraining Shot to snare them?
I would LOVE to hunt NS's, but I'm a Smuggler/Commando. I don't really have efficient weapons that pack a punch (oddly enough). I guess I could use my Plasma Flame Thrower on one, but that means getting within 25 meters of one.... yikes!
Dathomir-
You can find them just about anywhere but head in the direction of the Night Sisters vs. Singing Mountain POI.
As you head out you will start to see NS slaves (which are fun to shoot, too) and eventually an NS or two. Make WPs as you find them because they tend to stay in the same place.
Engage the NSs at the POI if you wish but be warned:
- Their Rancors are not very nice and they DO bite despite what any NS tells you.
- If you have good Mountain Clan Faction run near them when an NS has you on the ropes. They will help you but you won't be able to loot the NS after (I did that a lot the other day thinking I could have them do all the tanking and I get the loot
)
I too really like Commando- And I had Master Commando/ TKA 4400 for a short while but grew frustrated when I didn't have any damage shots to use with my hardcore weapons. Maybe Reckless shot with a Proton Rifle?

I am adding M Commando to my MS. Also Rifles 4xx4. Works great so far.

Waitaminute. Can you do that?
lessee... MS + MC + 2 lines of Rifles...Carry the one...DUDE! You CAN do this. OMG! This temp must ROCK!
Still keeping my MBH though however Wasodo on Starsider...
I spend 3 hours trying to get into the Genosian Labs solo by using Concussion shot then running past the 4 at the entrance. ItRARELY worked. I think I stunned maybe 1 out of 4 and it didn't seem to last more than 10-15 seconds.
Basically it sucked.

Wait. What were you using? Which weapons- what shots?
I haven't been to the Geo labs since I was a Swordsman but I remember getting buried in a wave of bugs like in the middle chamber.
I might have to try that out-
I went to the Nightsister stronghold last night with my brother. He's a CM/SL/3xxxBH, I'm a Smug/BH/xxx4 Pistols. We took on four level 80-85 at once. I would hit one with CS, thenUnderhand the next and Panic her. Then Firearm strike and Panic and then CS the last. While my brother is putting his debuffs and DoTs on the first, I put CS on the two that only had Panic. Then as we beat the hell out of our one target, I would CS any of the others that broke loose. We mopped up the whole stronghold without a problem. Never got close to incap. I picked up a few NS lances, an Armor Attachment with +12 Healing Eff, a Mando Interframe and a Delicate Trigger Assembly.
We NEVER had to fight more than one target at a time. With two knockdowns (Underhand and Firearm Strike) a Root (Improved Stopping Shot) and two Dazes (CS and Panic), I kept all the targets under control. Once we had our focus on one and all the DoTs and Debuffs were on her, I would lead with Overwhelming Shot (not sure if it works), then Eye Shot, Confusion Shot, Torso Shot, Low Blow and Restraining Shot. With our Duelist Stance on, one NS couldn't do crap. Even the NS Elders at level 85. Advanced Critical and Reckless were my shots of choice in between states and dazes.
I have no doubt I could work my way through that place solo... it just goes MUCH faster with a friend. Coordinated efforts have their perks. If I was in there with an idiot shooting all my Dazed targets... I would have ended up in the cloner. We had a plan going in and it worked great.
You do know that you're a smuggler right? Just pop a pixie, run past them and feign.
Or, if they are right on top of the door you need to slice (I can't remember, I've only been there like two times and one was running through to do the kashyyyk quest) get a friend to chase them away for you.

Yea, Spinning, are you using both concussion and panic shot?
I was only using Concussion but they didn't stay pacified long enough and it sure didn't seem like many of my shots hit. I'll try it again with both concussion and panic.
Nice to know someone else favors tactics over "brute force button mashing I win buttons".
