Ok I tried out a Smuggler/Pistoleer setup the other day. I must say it suits my hunting style rather nicly.. Afew nice root and snare attacks to keep eveyone alive...


Fact is I spam speail attacks its my job. Keep them away and keep them stated.. Then let the power hitter's at them.. I don not want to be the power hitting and crowd controller Solow damage andlow SAC is my goal...


Searching the Bazaar on my server the lowest I've seen on a weapon SAC was 77 on some loot pistol.. Which I'll get sooner or later.. But from this crowd controler point of view SAC is they selling point atm.. Heck even a CDEF would do... You WS get any requests for weapon made with this in mind yet?

I have a crowd controller as well.I have a 65 SAC pistol. Since the damage isn't good on all the crowd control specials anyway, I use that in a group. Solo, I need one with a bigger punch and have a balanced model. As a crowd controller, if you run out of action at the wrong time, your team's fate is in jeopardy. As a weaponsmith, I do not sell this model. To mass produce them would be futile. To hit the lower bound, you need to experiment subcomponents on the SAC,WSprobably won't have these laying around. I would suggest getting one custom made for you. If it is a 1 Blaster Power Handler Pistol (a high capacity scatter, DL44XT), you could probably get it cheap. If it is a carbine or a rifle, expect to pay a premium since the WS has to make separate factory runs for your specific needs, expect to pay credits and time.

I made a 65 sac intimidator and threw a pu on it. hit 45 sac.


the guy loved it for the sac, but sadly it lost out to high damage. I wish more people thought like you. crowd controll instead of 100% brute force, maybe i would still be a weaponsmith.

I had a request from a guildmate to make a Low Sac Dart Carbine, using Gorax bones to make up for the lack of points put into Damage and Speed, I was able to cap it at a 73 point sac. He is loving the gun. I used +70 Damage and around -0.5 speed bones in the gun.

I made my alt an Adv. Laser Rifle with 2.7 Spd / 467 - 1089 Dmg / 89 SAC for crowd control. With a little bit of food and cycling, not only can I control crowds... I can actually do damage lol (This is a Smuggler/Rifleman with 110 spd. so it is still fast enough).

the lowered SAC and speed issue doesnt only apply to crowd controllers......it applies to everyone...


i have a 12 point ws and a loot hoor toon that is master pistol master carbines and a little rifles


I also have been working at changing the way people think about their weapons.........its kinda like golf my enhanced e-11 is 320ish base dps and thats my driver....i dont always need to "hit the ball" 300 yards.....some times i need more finesse (ie speed ,lowered action cost etc.).....so a mid ranged iron like a 280 ish base dps de-10 or dl44 xt that action cost and speed have been heavily experimented on before i touch damage is alot better for when im killing level 60-79 mobs......i can root, snare, kd, very fast and not run out of action.......most times on a level 79 melee mob i dont even get touched before they die (and no i dont run around like a gnort with their head cut off).......maybe im crazy tho......


the weapons i carry at all times:


DE-10


Berserker Rifle


Enhanced E-11 Carbine


Elite Carbine


Modified Republic Blaster


Jawa Ion Rifle


Dl44 XT


Tusken Rifle


Featherweight FWG-5



i find that an action cost around 87-90ish is excellent when your using the blob candy/bofa treat/caf food combo......lower allows u to not use food......i also discovered last night while in a jedi grinding group about a buff docs give that make u shoot CRAZY FAST ...i had to switch to a lower cost weapon (which also had very good speed) to keep my action from bottoming out...lemme tell u the whole hunting group was like "omg wth gun are u using?????"....it was a 240 base DPS DL44 XT that i had made for speed and SAC cost...ie experimented on efficiency and speed first.....it was to a point i was so fast i could barely keep a move cued and my action only got low at one point when a noob did a AOE attack on the lair
