Thread: Smuggler Root Nerfed
Ya probably should have spent some time learning about the smuggler class by reading these forums befor rushing off to respec for the root.
We've known (and accepted for the most part) the fix to concussion shot for over a month now.

Just use double xp and grind to a new profession in an hour or two since you used your last respec.

Damn I just repsec'd to smuggler (using my last respec) and now they nerf the root. They didnt just lower the time they made it break on damage. Why do they make the changed WELL into the CU. I thougth I was safe using my last respec. SIGH
Hmmm, your name is "Fixbugs" and you complain about a fixed bug...

Its a root still but also a daze. Daze breaks on damage root doesnt.
Wouldnt call that a nerf.

It was confirmed that both break upon taking damage the daze and the root will break if the combatant takes damage, this was confirmed by a red name and my character on TC-Ahazi.

Odd, when I read the description of Concussion Shot, it says that we get an ability that can shut down an opponent for a length of time. Then, when I use Concussion Shot, I can shut down an opponent for a length of time. Where's the nerf?
It's a fix, and a damn powerful one at that along with panic shot being fixed. It is in effect a enemy shut down for as long as the timer lasts or upon damage (I'm assuming 40 seconds still since I'm no longer a smuggler) and you can hit it at 80m. No other proffession has this power in crowd control. In fact it is so powerful people are complaining about it already and the Devs have stated the nerf bat in the way of a 30 second resist timer is on the publish after. That will be a nerf and to be honest probably a much needed one for balance, there will be people that would have abused these two specials into nerfhood. If I was still a smuggler I'd be one of them with my acid stream luncher. Hopefully they'll do the same with startleshot and disarm shot. Those things should not be spammed like they are being now 
I can deal with them and I'll probably find a way to deal with panic and concussion shot as well.
Disclaimer: This is not a cry for the nerf, just my prediction. I'm glad you'll have these two very useful specials, abuse them while you can

hmm... guess that wasn't exactly the reaction you were expecting, was it?
Sorry.... no nerfs to smuggler this time.
