Thread: One shot incap with Last ditch?

The most I have hit for is like 3.5k, and after armor that get reduced to like 2k. This was using a dl-44 with max dmg of 975 against a TKM. I waited untill i had very little health left before using it. what gun are you guys using?
You have to be a Smuggler/BH 3xxx and it only works on Jedi 100% of the time - hits them for 13000, triple incaps them twice, DBs them, forces them to clone six times and multiplies the lost Jedi XP by no less than 12.

Yep. I've seen it happen.
no such things as a one shot kill you have to have been in combat and been shooting enough to have lowered your action and health to a level to use last datch effectivly
ie serveral shots, not one shot
some people cant see this and view last ditch as you start a fight , click last ditch and insta incap someone , now that would indeed be a one shot kill

You lie it hits for 1300000000000000 damage while i shot laser bolts out of my eyes using my uber1337 smuggler template to pwn the jedi.
And ive seen it remove skill box's and even turned them into Rodians those jedi who are really unlucky have their computer explode and their soul ripped out to the depth's of the Earth for torment and suffering in an eternal abyss of fire and brimstone.
Last Ditch now causes George Lucas to spawn at the target player's home. and starts wreckin sh*t! 
then he come up and slaps you around like a mad man.
oh and the person using Last Ditch gets 200k bank tipped to them each time they use it.

No exaggeration, the only person I've ever incapped with Last Ditch is myself.
tomo, no, if you are a jedi, apparently it hits 100% of the time
See, that's the problem. I think we have Jedi out there who are taking 4000 smuggler instead of 0010. They are one shot incapping themselves and are confused as to why.
They are reading the letters upside down and blurred, I guess. LD != FD, Jeedai.
I feel relaxed and relieved for providing this public service.

Come on does anyone have an answer to my original post, or should we change this into yet another "Why Jedi hate smugglers post"

This is the answer to your question:

we need a stickie on this i think
The only stipulation is that the player you are attacking must have less health left than the damage you deal with your attack.
It might be possible to one-shot someone with a very high damage rifle, but the chances are much higher that it will incapacitate the player trying to do it anyway.
Last Ditch is definitely nowhere near reliable enough that anyone could fairly label it as unbalanced. Yes, it can do a very large amount of damage with a single hit, but it also leaves the player with very little left in their health/action/mind pools. And that's if they're very lucky. If they're being beaten so much that they're at a point where Last Ditch is worth trying, you're likely to still have enough health to probably survive the hit, even if it works.
Also, if their health is so low, that means you must have been damaging them, so if the shot fails to incap either of you, your very next shot is very likely to drop them. And if you're smart/lucky, you'll drop a special on them right at the time they might try Last Ditch so that they can't get off an attack while you finish it.
Last Ditch can be an "I WIN!!!" button, but you need a great deal of luck, and the fight probably needs to have been fairly close anyway.
2,000 points of damage against a TKM (assuming character levels are around the same) seems like a fairly respectable number. You're using what sounds like a very good DL-44 and getting a very good result from doing so.
