so. ever since the CU i have been terribly terribly conflicted, as far as what the huck to do with my character. I won't get into yet another rant about the endless stream of jedi, or how my beloved teräs käsi profession has become a shambles, because many have already heard me and others beat that into the ground. =P

I've settled fairly comfortably into smuggling for the Empire. Currently I have it paired with TK and some pistoleer, or pistoleer and some tk. Neither of these is equivalent to my previous happiness with tkm / master smuggler / master pistoleer.

Since i find combat now to be a dreary and depressing thing, and no where near as good as the combat i enjoy in WoW (which i play regularly as well. PvP was once my only true love in this game, and since i am not a jedi that has definitely fallen by the wayside. and i more than get my pk fix in WoW =P) I'm pondering the idea of doing something like master musician or master image designer instead of a second combat profession.

My only worry with this is that...with the ever elusive smuggler revamp, will my being less than stellar in combat and having less hit points be severely detrimental? Or will I still be able to have a fulfilling smuggler career?

This is the question I have. Suggestions Welcome!

Master Smuggler / Master Shipwright / Pistoleer 0-0-0-4

Now do PvP in space and still good in groups for CC on ground.

hehe i do roleplay whenever possible. i run a very happy (for now) spice/clothing shop, sell faction, flirt and be dastardly in cantinas all over the glaxy and do all sorts of interesting things. as far as shipwright... ugh, no thanks. i have a master tailor alt, so the need for shopping is moot and my desire to craft is taken up by the tailoring and the spicing. =P

as far as bh goes...thanks but no thanks. i have little interest in jedi or anything that concerns them, and the less light sabers i see, the happier i am =P

im pretty damn sure im gonna do musician, im just worried that when/if the revamp comes, i will be in trouble and not able to do my smuggler acitivies.

If you become a musician I willlisten toyou and you alone every time I stop by the Cantina. Sorry, didn't know about the tailor thing, else I wouldn't have suggested coming to my girlfriend's (R/L wife's) shop. As for bounty hunters, I didn't mean Be, one...just hang out with Ricel and I.



Whatever you do, I wish you the best, and if you ever need me for anything feel free to send me a tell.

Not to sound generic, but do what keeps you here. If you love pvp then double up the combat. Although if your more of a social butterfly/deviant and not so much a "CHOP A HEAD OFF AND LAUGH DEVIANT" , then go for that musician. That date under your name indicates to me that losing you would be a bad thing. Save the vets. BH was kind of a drag, was fun at first , but got really old.

I say do what you find fun and enjoy the game i would hope they would tailor the smuggler missions to the cl of the smuggler and offer equal rewards for doing it despite your cl.


I find being a neutral pilot is a lot of fun aswell to compliment smuggler because the YT is a cool ship to have to play with as a smuggler and as one of the proposals in a "in-concept" thread said that they are looking into smuggler being able to slices POB ships which would be really cool. If you want to get the right feel for a pilot profession the smuggler alliance one is really cool and very soloable if thats your playstyle.

i think smuggler armorsmith might be cool even considering a second account one for fighting one for that combo think of the money fp's for armor and schems and a smuggler to buy it sounds like a cash machine.

I wish Smuggler wasn't all pistol combat xp now too,


I dance when I get tired of missions and the like. Of course I strongly recommend trying to RP with some folks. I don't know how anyone can play this game and always xp/combat grind every log in. Mix it up.

Swap TK4000 for Pistoleer0004 and suddenly all your wounds are gone....

hehe, there is no such thing as a "combat" smuggler since 3/4 of their specials are ass broke, and pistoleer doesnt give any "money shots."


Its like being an enchanter in EQ... except you cant nuke,charm or mezz... and all your spells are "in your face" close. LOL.
