  1. To people spouting about Boba Fett, while true that he used a rifle in the movies, in numerous comics he is however often times using a single pistol.

     

    And you can't have one over the other. If we got rifles, then agents would have to get Pistols. And same for Troopers.. except over at the republic side Smugglers would have to get access to assault cannons aswell. It would just create un-necessary gear-spread and problems. Pistols are fine.

    Hmm, Gunslinger with a BFG... wait, TWO BFG's since they dual wield! :p
  2. Being Pulled/Charged by NPCs when Behind Cover: Yes, this is bogus. Not only are NPCs immune to casting/channeling pushback, but they also completely disregard Smuggler/IA cover mechanics. It is insanely frustrating.
    Just to expand on this: NPC's can use gap closers (charge/grapple) on PC's in cover. The reverse is not true. So apparently the way cover is coded currently is that players can't use gap closers on targets in cover, not that targets in cover are immune to gap closers (a subtle but important distinction). Either allow us to charge/grapple mobs in cover, or make it so mobs can't charge/grapple us if we're in cover.
  3. Oh I know.

     

    More so the fact it increases armor and is a high threat tool. At 25 it's like 400ish damage for my kaliyo

    And companions are cooldown-limited since they don't have an actual resource, so it needs to do something more than just straight damage. Besides, we can reduce ALL damage dealt by anyone hit by Flame Burst/Sweep, instead of just increasing our armor (which only works on kinetic and energy damage).

     

    While Heat Blast is a tad underwhelming, a damaging ability that ignores armor and REDUCES heat is still not that shabby.

  4. Finishing up my class quest line.

     

    For a guy considered the most dangerous hunter in the galaxy, who has outright killed Jedi masters with no effort, an awful lot of people treat him like dirt.

     

     

     

    With that said, still a very good storyline.

    For all that, he's still just a hired gun. If your primary loyalty is to a paycheck, there are people out there who aren't going to be terribly impressed with you no matter what you've done.

     

    Did anyone else hear Rodney Dangerfield's voice when they read the thread title?

  5. Deals more damage than basic attack, when you have heat blast and don't have to worry about overheating as mutch.

    Also might be resetting your railshot cooldown or making rocketpunch free. Depending on what hybrid build you are using.

    Idunno, just seems like you'd be better off using Flame Sweep for filler (heat permitting) and RP/RS for single-target aggro in an AoE situation (assuming 31 shieldtech). I tend to mostly just use Flame Burst/Sweep to apply/maintain the Combust debuff, though, unless my heat's really low and I've got nothing better to do with my GCD.
  6. Am I the only person that lets Mako decide when to use Electro-stasis and is happy with the decision?

     

    If I don't want her to hold that mob, I smack it. If I do, yay, free CC!

    My only issue with it is sometimes she decides to taze the guy I'm on instead of one of the loose mobs. On the plus side, it does at least set me up for Shoulder Slam if I notice before it breaks. And watching her try to cc HK-47 was kinda funny.
  7. I think part of the issue is Mako doesn't have a spammable heal (she doesn't really have a spammable anything, but you don't generally bring her for her DPS). Odds are she's pew-pewing because that's all she has available. Just taking a guess since I don't generally keep my expanded companion bar up, so I'm not watching her ability use (except to grump about the fact that she electroshocks targets that are taking or are about to take damage, i.e. what I'm hitting or what I've thrown a dart at).
  8. I'd be content with having pistol models that are actually big freakin' hand-cannons. The "Heavy Armor with the Derringer" look just isn't working for me.

     

    Seriously now! Why do some of the tank stat commendation/token weapons look like something my wife would carry in her purse?

    Is your wife a tank? :p
  9. Right now I'm in 4/5 columi (damn leggings wont drop) and I'm at ~48% shield chance and around ~40% absorption, with 52% damage reduction via armor and 15% defense, and around 20.5k health.

     

    So far, not much gives me problems in the way of damage taken, even in operations. When you take the shield/absorption along with armor into account, every other hit against me is shielded and I only take around 30% damage from it, and the attacks that arent shielded still only do half damage. Overall it comes out to roughly 70% damage reduction over an extended period with all of my defensive stats.

     

     

    High shield chance also comes in handy on fights like the fabricator in karagga's palace, where your armor is essentially reduced to 0 (I go from 52% reduction from armor to 12% reduction with the debuff the boss puts on me) - but your defensive stats remain the same.

    Just curious, on that fight is it worthwhile to do a tank rotation (i.e., you get the debuff, another tank taunts off you and takes over until your debuff falls off), or does the debuff stay up too long to make it workable?
