Been hearing this nasty rumor about one of the smugglers last useful skills being nerfed? Anyone care to shed some light on this topic?

To answer your question: Yes, FD got nerfed. Made useless in PvP. For PvE the jury is still out on that one, tests to be done. You can check the last TC patch notes.
Please peoples, if it was posted by a Dev and show up on the Dev tracker, it is not exactly a rumor.
I keep seeing thoses lately, the "I heard a rumor" thread about stuff that was posted by a Dev so easilly findable on the Dev tracker. What's up with that?

Test Center just came down for another update. I just tested FD for PvE and did not notice any change at all. Unfortinately, I didn't have time to test the PvP side though. Then again it is getting another patch so I'll update this when it comes back up.

Tiggs stated that before you weren't incapped while FD, now simply you are. In all fairness, this probably better for the community than anything, it probably still works in PvE and Jedi will simply have to stay off the terminals and won't get the option to pick up Smuggler and FD.

There is no change to it in PvE.
In PvP the enemy can just keep shooting until you loose HAM and incap like you normaly would, this had to happen sometime (especially since a lot of smugglers want to be able to get bountys for "illigal" activities, to add a reason to go underground), I mean what BH in the world is going to hunt someone who will just FD and be un-killable?

Instead of nerfing the smugs.. nerf the Jedi.. do what the Smuggler community has been asking for and make FD part of the Master box 
It would make everybody happy but the Jedi

I've read some pretty good ideas concerning Feigndeath. Instead of making it a level 1 skill, why not replace Feign Death mods with Pistol Speed and Accuracy, or something interested. Then make a Master Smuggler have FD and have +100 to it. Any ideas?

Yeah but did'nt someone say you cant die from triple incaping or be deathblowedwhile feigning death? If that's the case then its probably just a bug fix so that combat can beended after one person feigns. It also means the creatures will lose aggro on you an you might be able to escape before they notice you again.
