We're being granted another Respec, and it occurs to me that since our only decent attack is going to be nerfed into oblivion, that I should switch to TKM/Master Fencer/Novice Doctor, that being the only viable template I can think of that could challenge Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer/ 0/0/0/4 Squad Leader in terms of coolness. But what do you, O my faithful smuggling droogies, think of this premonition? You know that the Concussion shot nerf is inevitable, will you stay? Will you go? I know I'll have to carry around an insanely stupid-looking sword rather than my array of stylish pistols...but I'll be able to pimp my civilian clothes at least...oh well. I loved being a Smuggler, while it lasted...too bad that short chapter has already come to a close.

They can take my Smuggler title when they pry theRenegade from my cold, dead hand.

Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay, I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going.

This is a dark time for the smuggler alliance... a looming shadow of doom blankets our profession...

You must do what you think is right, but remember your roots...

I will say this YET AGAIN. Concussion Shot is not getting nerfed. It is being brought in line with its description. It will be a mesmerization skill, which can SHUT DOWN your target for up to 40 seconds. That means they can't attack, move, heal, change equipment, change posture, et cetera; untill the effect wears off or untill they take damage. This is more powerful than a simple root, because it takes opponents out of the fight temporarily, where as a root only takes melee opponents out of the fight, and only if they don't carry a ranged weapon which has no specific skill requirement. PLEASE STOP CALLING THIS A NERF!

/agree with nicolas

Even if concussion shot wsa being nerfed, I'm no FOTM Player, I've been smuggler since launch and intend to stay that way till the servers come crashing down into oblivion. You fair weather smugglers can swim for shore if you want, this captains going down with the ship.

ill stick with smuggler because it's smuggler. i remember when half the smuggler specials didnt do anything so i think i can deal with it. though i would say this, concussion shot is nice as it is. i dont usually intend on running from my enemies.

they do kind of explain it in this thread. it's all how you look at it, it being a nerf or a fix. the reason it seems like a nerf, is because the developers messed up to begin with and we were given something that we liked, only to be told that it is not working as intended.

Why on Dantooine would I drop smuggler? I've been a smuggler forever, and forever shall I smuggle (in a manner of speaking.)

The concussion shot thing as it is, is excellent against melee and in groups on Dant going against bols (I'm a master commando and using a FT and concussion shot on a mob is AWESOME), but as I said, I've been a smuggler forever (October of '03) and intend to stay that way, even if concussion shot doesn't root anymore. Completely removing the target from the fight will be nice, even if it means I won't be able to solo melee mobs anymore.

And somebody tell the site admins to let the forums support FireFox... typing up a reply in FireFox only to remember after the fact that you can't even CLICK the submit button, is annoying.
