Why are smugglers so darn inaccurate?

[LordCamTheGreat]

Why is it that when i shoot my gun half the time the shots fly randomly around the target and miss a lot. I've had times where my toon literally fires blindly into the sky its hilarious but utterly stupid. It would be nice if some people who new why this was could explain or make this funny problem become more realistic. Thank you in advance. Edited November 1, 2013 by LordCamTheGreat

Does your smuggler have a spice problem? I'm not judging or anything but you might want to get into a detox program. Spice can ruin your life man.

It's part of Charged Burst and Flurry of Bolts, Charged Burst is "inaccurate" but it still hits. It's more of the animation. you start out with 90% Ranged and 100% Tech Accuracies. so dont worry your only missing 10% of your ranged attacks like Charged Burst or Flurry of Bolts.

1) if you're a Gunslinger, your mainhand has a base 90% chance to hit with ranged attacks and 60% with offhand attacks. you're going to see a lot of misses forever

 

2) all class's mainhand autoattack has a base 80% chance to hit, and Gunslinger offhand autoattacks have a base 50% chance to hit

 

3) if you're fighting enemies significantly higher level than you or getting debuffs like Pacify or Diversion while leveling, you're going to miss a lot of attacks

Because some where in your family tree there was a Stormtrooper. (I'm talking about one of the ones in the movies, not here where they are actually kinda awesome)

I still find it strange how sometimes the bolts fly vertically sometimes, where as the mercanary who has 2 pistols rarely spray everywhere. Its like the fallout perk spray and pray.

I find it amusing at times after a fight, one of the guns will go off when putting it back in the holster... LOL Edited November 25, 2013 by rbl_holmes

It's like that with both Smuggler and IA classes, whereas the other two tech classes BH/Trooper always look like they're hitting the target. It's been like this since day one, not sure why.

Thanks, just back to the game after playing during beta. I was wondering if there was a lag glitch somewhere in my machine..

 

I sometimes get both of them going off. Afraid my gunslinger is going to shoot his own toes off at time. Rememeber, it is draw then fire.
