Smuggler Archive

Just curious to know.....since panic shot is now used mostly for running away....what r u all using for specials sequences which prove to be most effective..

I've got novice pistoleer and I find myself typically beginning combat with AIM - LowBlow- LAst ditch....followed by some major Health Shot 2 spamming....occasionally I'll throw in intimidate, and sometimes Warcry. But more often than not, it seems like HS2 ends up doing more damage over shorter periods of time than anything else.

Whats everyone else doing?

When I was a Master Pistoleer, I still used HealthShot2 against single mobs. Fanshot is the obvious choice against multiple mobs, you just need to wrangle them in to a cone.

Now that I have Smuggler, I will use Low Blow against my first target, and then HS2 if it's single, or Fan Shot if there are multiple targets. You get a couple high damage shots in while the target is knocked down. After 30 seconds, repeat the Low Blow (or Pistol Whip if they are Melee). Repeat.

I can't spam Last Ditch right now as a 0-0-4-3 Pistoleer, but I am wokring on remastering it....Once I am a Master Gunfighter again, I hope Last Ditch can be my new shot of choice against individual targets.

/healtshot2;

/pause 1.5

/macro healthshot;

works like a dream. you set the pause based on your speed of fire so you only have 1 or 2 healthshots in your specials window. then you can pop in other specials from time to time when needed or eat food or spice without having to clear the window. Also when a target goes down just click on next target, or tab to next target or click on nothing and next mob that attacks you will become the target. Plus I think this macro added 5 years to the life of my spamming finger.

Last Ditch is also fun for lairs and for babies.

I do love usinginitmidate and warcry, especially when I duel.

I tend to use either one of two possiblities (depends on target's distance to me)

/lowblow; /panichshot; /aim; /lastditch

/pistolmeleedefense1; /panicshot; /aim; /lastditch

panicshot is still sueful if you can land it while theyre down. While theyre delayed on teh ground stack a few aims and let rip with a last ditch, very painful.

Also use that sequence alot as a duel opener, i just slap /duel; on the front

If you have Healthsot2 but don't have enough skill mods to be able to spam Last Ditch, then it seems Healthshot 2 will deal the most damage over time. Take a look at your combat window to see the stats.

I've been amassing XP primarily by killing Savage Quenkers on Dantooine. Using a non-enhanced DX2 pistol and HS2, I'm dealing anywhere from 400 - 700 dmg with no attack delay.

Last ditch typically gives me around 800-1200 dmg but at a relatively long delay. After a knockdown, LAst ditch usually gives me around 2000 dmg, but there's a delay on the knockdown as well as the delay on last ditch.

Again, because I don't have all the speed mods for pistol, using Warcry or Panic shot still isn't enough of a delay for me to be able to get last ditch in more than once. That's why, for the time being, I'm spamming Healthshot2.

Usually early on the battle, I'll also tap the MOB with HS1 in order to get the extra bleed dmg from stacking.
