Got Yer Pistols Right Here, Buddy

I have a question about devices for Blasters and rather than start a new thread I thought I'd just ask here.

Can you throw a smoke bomb walk right up to a mob undetected (with cloaking device on) lay a time bomb and trip mine, then run away and watch the mob get pwnd? If so, do the time bomb and trip mine act as thier own attacker, or do they draw aggro to you? Just wondering if this is a viable strategy on devices.

Another thing Dual Pistols should have, besides quick animations and easy combos, is no grounding effect when attacking. I don't understand why any of these ranged attacks cause you to stop when your attacking, but DP should definetly allow you to keep running and jumping while firing your weapons.

You probably have no idea how hard that would be to animate.

Technically, they could just remove the root times. Ugly, but effective.

You need more than just Smoke Bomb. Cloaking Device, Stealth, or a Stealth IO would do the job. My Arch/Dev uses Cloaking Device and a Stealth IO, but it works fine with Smoke Bomb, or so I hear.

And Time Bomb and Trip Mine will most definitely draw attention to you. However, most of those affected won't be able to respond from dropping or being knocked back. It takes a bit to set up, but it is a safe way of dropping a nasty mob you're facing.

But never THIS.

Oh, and also dropping to one knee and spraying the area in front of you (cone) with bullets.
I know this quote is months old, but how's about this for a screenshot?

Was hoping for a pistol powerset maybe that wouldn't rely on a lot of super gimmicky shots, or pets. But the problem is that I don't know what powers they could put in. Something Gunkata like from Equilibrium would be cool, but dunno about anything else. So far, that link of the new Blaster dude from Going Rogue gives me some hope......but after recently finding something out about a certain costume piece I wanted to acquire, that is off limits to players.....guh.....

I have your Whirlwind of Bullets right here: though I find the whole series of these videos to be great to watch, your Whirlwind of Bullets happens at about 1:25 into the video.

Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.
