Smuggler Archive

• Master Smuggler, Master Commando, Pistoleer 4404, Combat Prowess 4000. No SP left. I've had a hard time finding any commando weapons that didn't suck large though.


• Master Smuggler, Master Bounty Hunter, Combat Prowess 4400, Enhanced Reflexes 4000. 11 SP left. Largely focuses on pistols which is good. Solid specials.


• Master Smuggler, Pistoleer 0404, Combat Medic 4400, Combat Prowess 4400, Enhanced Reflexes 4400. 2 SP left. Solid accuracy, speed and defense numbers. 3 Heals as well as the DoT's

All are good but I'm looking for opinions on soloing efficiency, (being able to do it reliably).

I have 2 pre-CU pistols still with me. FWG5, Krayted with a 385MDPS w/o pup and a DL44XT, Krayted with a 490MDPS w/o pup. (Numbers are from memory so give or take a bit). The only Heavy Acid Rifle I could find during one day had a MDPS of 185. Granted, I only had Commando 0402 during that respec but still.

Currently I'm toying with the FotM Master Smuggler/Master BH and it's pretty good. Fort Tusken seemed a little too hard, since I had to clone Still that was without optimal armor, ( a very generous Smug gave me an old set of Tantel), and without buffs or spice. I was fine doing 1 or 2 at a time but had a problem when I aggro'd a room full of around 8 (bad to to post-CU, I know).

Anyway, I plan on respeccing again tonight to try another one out. Best CL I've done yet is 73, but I wasn't maxed out pre-cu. Also, I need 1 or 2 more dangerous POI's to get my visit from the old nutjob to start my way on the FS lines, (I currently just surge).

Advice welcome, experiences welcome as well. Hit me with your best ya scruffy nerfherders.

Still the best darn smuggler there is.

I'm your basic MBH/MS with a pistol speed thrown in. I can rip through just about anything and now that they have fixed advanced critical shot it should be even better. I chose this route more for the content (or potential of content) than for the combat but it was a nice perk.

I've only heard about the AoE bug in passing. What is it actually? Only the "target" takes the damage and the rest just get a huge hate on for you?

How much of a change in healing does the Master Combat Medic actually give. With just 4000 I was "bombing" myself for around 425 and using a fair chunk of mind. Does the heal go up while the mind cost goes down as you take more towards Master?

Thanks

I recently tried this one out and did find it pretty good at taking 1 or 2 targets at a time. The only time I got in trouble is when I tried a Grizzled Dewback (CL81) and it jumped on my head and ate me. (apparently +8 CL is hard. My Fuzzy Dynamo failed to work - 3rd fail now).

Since I'm not into PvP and the last I heard the BH missions could waste hours and cash for no payout (your mark is inside someone's house,or stuck in a column) I really was just trying it for the smackdown potential.

Thanks
