If you like DPS with stealth go and roll a Jedi Shadow or Assassin. Scoundrel DPS are useless, its that simple.

If you are a Scoundrel then at level 50 you have no choice but to choose to be a healer. It's that simple.

Nope. Mercenaries and Commandos are fine. Its just Scoundrel DPS. Its even this bad, I might as well leave the pvp/flashpoint whatever when I see a Scoundrel DPS. IT'S THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE!

Or simply do 200 dailies and get a Campaign relic. I got "Campaign Relic of Shield Amplification". "On Hit: Shielding an incoming attack grants 405 Absorb Rating for 6 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 20 seconds, and shares this limit with similar defensive effects." It seems to work very well.

Ashara: "Don't go against my teachings!" Oh I hate her saying that. I then quickly switch to Andronikos. Andronikos: "Missed me huh?" And I like: hell yeah, Andro is back, woot woot!

I much enjoyed played a Scoundrel Scrapper back in 1.1 and 1.2. Did all normal class and planet quests, and tried Eternity Vault in a large group. All they keep saying "stay in range", don't go in melee. But the Scrapper has 90% has melee and only for surprise attacks. A few times I negelcted the warning and died very quickly on those big bad bosses. Quick conclusion: Scrappers are useless in PVE high end content. Then I switched to be healer and this is actually awesome, and well I got the bonusses for Kolto Cloud. So, all of this means all Scoundrels in PVE simply have no choice other then to use at least 31 skill points in Sawbones tree. So you might as well remove all level 3 and higher from Scrapper and Dirty Fighting just as well. Also in 1.4 these rules will still hold if you wanne do PVE like Eternity Vault, Explosive Conflict, Lost Island HM. Sucker Punch, Flying Fists, once it was awesome, now I cannot use it anymore.

I'm a Scoundrel LOL. Sure from the Smuggler skills I have some weak ranged shots, but Scoundrels are primarely melee (4meters). Guess you mean Gunslingers only.

Believe it or not, but since 1.2 Diagnostic Scan is my main healing ability. Yes I have Prognosis: critical and Patienty Studies maxed out. Its an energy free healing skill, and works very well. Of course Underworld medicine to create upperhand, add 2 slow healings on your patient, and start diagnostic scan. DS is not super, but still does its work very well. Use kolto pack for healing emergencies. And you have kolto cloud to heal 4 allies.

The Scoundrel giggle has been removed since release 1.2 and I want it back. I'm level 50, played SWTOR intensively, but removing something which I depended upon heavily is a pain. Bring it back or I won't renew my subscription.

Ok, so I had Armormech maxed out right before patch 1.2, also reached level 50. Anxious to see what new Armor I can make. Sure, it will be 100's. So I go there and NOTHING!!! Bioware, this might seem like nothing, but I wanted to see the new clothes for me (as Smuggler) or for my Corso (he is Trooper). Why not at least add something, you say you have lots of new clothes. *sighs* add new Armormech even if it requires level 50 and armor mech 400, please.
