I haven't quite tried combat yet since coming back... I did notice, with some small degree of glee that my Naritus character B'en F'olds is a level 80, which I guess is cool... This is a Master Pistoleer, Master Smuggler. Anyhow, I started flipping through my list of abilities... It's wierd having all the best ones immediately... the way it usually goes is you gain the abilities going along, so you learn what is good to use and what's not-- I don't have that luxury (haha) this time around. What's our most common shot? Or are we supposed to totally mix it up all the time? I noticed Last Ditch TRULY IS a Last Ditch... I used it on a freakin' worrt and it almost killed me, and I noticed that friggin' PIstol Whip is gone... W T F? What do we use to knock down those overzealous fools who get too close? Also, where are all the thugs and stuff in the main cities? I did a quick walkthrough of Mos Eisley and none of the Valarians or Jabbas or cannibals were around. Have things changed this much since I left? Man...

Try Reckless Shot from smuggler. It will likely be the highest damage special you have, but has a slight defensive penalty.


Oh, as a Master Pistoleer, you STILL have a pistol whip move. It is called Improved Firearm Strike. It is a good KD.

I have to say ive tested reckless shot against critical shot and reckless shot doesnt even get a look in, i found critical shot hit a fair amount harder and didnt have the defensive penalty. One other observation is using critical shot i hit 9 out of 10 shots fired and with reckless shot i hit 3 out of 10 shots fired, not sure if this was just bad luck but if you included the defensive penalty i find reckless shot not really worth it.


Now we have a daze rather than a root i see using a move which reduces our defence's by 80 to bea suicide button especialy when righting somethingat or around my own level, I would like them to have another look at reckless shot and take into account we will get hit during our defensive penalty state timer now concussion shot breaks.


Currently advanced critical shot and torso shot are my bread and butter and on the occassion's i decided to wipe out the imperial outpost on Dant and Talus i will use duelist stance and spray shot and nuke the whole damn lot of them ( a guys got to earn the fp to equip his armour doesnt he).


I find underhand shot handy for anranged KD which gives me time to heal up if i need and get back a little from combat since KD's are on a timer before you can reuse i use it very rarely.
