DAMN!


How many times do I gotta see that in one night!? I mean, for real.


It did bring up an interesting point though. I mean, maybe I should concider using the thing sometime soon before I go batty.


I'm trying to hold out until I see how the new Concussion Shot, Panic Shot, and Overwhelming shot are gonna effect my game.


As Blixtev said:

"Fixed this today, Concussion shot is now a Daze + Root. Daze = Unable to perform any heals, buffs, attacks etc. The target can effectively not do anything until the effect wears off OR is hit by any form of damage.


Panic Shot was also not working correctly, as the description has read since CU it is now operates as a Daze instead of a Combat Slow. Again Dazes prevent actions but break on damage. Made no sense for panic shot and lowblow to do the same thing excep tpanic shot was a much weaker version.


Overwhelming Shot was non functional as well, it now works.


These changes should be rolling out to TC in a few days and should help the Smuggler in fufilling their Crowd Control role better."


With this change we will be without a root that doesn't break on damage. That makes Pistoleer a little more attractive. You all know how I feel about adding Pistoleer to Smuggler- I've even compared it to kissing your sister BUT having a Daze AND a root that doesn't break on damage will be a lethal mix. So maybe kissing your sister ain't that bad- Hell, Luke did it.


Also I am concerned that my best weapon is one I'm not even profficent in: Teh Advanced Laser Rifle.


Rifleman is a powerful Elite but I don't know what I'm going to have to sacrafice from BH to get those extra Rifleman skills.


Plus- even though Commando is pretty much worthless now- the AoE DOES kick ass- and you GOTTA be able to AOE the new Concussion shot. I mean, you GOTTA. I've been using the Launcher Pistol since it has a little longer distance and I maintain my highest defense with it equipped. I might have to see if there are any other weapons out there that have AoE besides Commando weapons.


Going to tabulate and come back here but would appreciate any feedback anyone has on their "final respec"

I know I'll use mine now, with the changes to slicing coming.

Just not sure if I'll do Master Smuggler/Master Carbineer with some Pistoleer

or Master Pistoleer with some Carbineer.

Yeh, I'm Smuggler/Commando with a bit of Pistoleer on my live server, but I rarely use anything of Commando and stick to pistols (something that'll likely change once the fixed Proton Rifle hits live ); I'm a Smuggler/BH on TC thought and I just can't decide which I like more... guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I'm saving saving saving saving saving it. I don't care how annoying it gets, I'm holding onto it until something drastic happens. I'm not sure what that drastic thing might be...

Smuggling being such a let down that I just can't be a smuggler anymore...
Squad Leader suddenly being the best profession ever...
I finally decide to finally master pistoleer finally... (went 4444 but never mastered )

You know, that kind of thing. Otherwise, it's not actually that hard to grind out professions these days.

You know it's drilling the weaknesses of your template into your mind. That's the point of it.


Like what it told me:


"You have no real damaging specials besides legshot/headshot"


"Your group will hate you for drawing aggro"


"Assault armor looks stupid"


"Battle Armor looks cool"


"Dude, don't you have something better to do right now than read too far into this message?"


I wasn't even planning on doing it. I just did it.

Stupid brainwashing token.

Yeah, it's not hard but Investigative is still a pain in the ass.


I went to cut my teeth on one PvE mission. Just to make sure I had the basics down and whatnot. I got to my target and almost incapped him when all of a sudden I couldn't target him anymore. He healed and sat there. THAT was highly frustratin' after flying around to find the bastage for 15- 20 minutes.


Now imagine a whole tree of that crap. No thank you, ma'am.


So I need to be VERY careful before I up and drop BH- Especially since I DO love the specials soooooooo much!

I'm switching template manually with thefixes upcoming. Iwas a rifleman/smuggler, butthat won't work too good anymore soI'm switching to carbineer/smuggler.


I'm saving my token for when something insanely drastic happens to smuggler.

I'm saving mine tillI see if the smuggling missions turn out to be as crappy as the slicing changes. Then I'll use my token to respec out of everything and kill my toon with the cancel account button.
