Smuggler change to Sly Lie

[Bleep]

This ability really is kinda useless now. to anyone other then DIE HARD smugglers is there a away to change it to give back smugglers some of the utility I think they lack now by changing sly lie to a party wide buff with say luck and 1% dmg reduction as a group buff.? or something along the same lines but moving it farther up tree master level?

Thanks for the feedback this is a great idea! Adjusting Sly Lie into a party-wide buff with something like Luck and a small damage reduction could definitely help bring more utility to Smugglers and encourage more diverse group compositions.

We'll take a closer look at how this could be implemented and where it might fit best in the skill tree. It's exactly the kind of creative suggestion that helps evolve the class design in meaningful ways. Keep the ideas coming!

I also think action cost reduction could work as well and synergize well also with the class they tend to lean towards action starved and the group buff ACR or DMG could help both the class function and group

Agree, the first 4 points in smuggler should do something beneficial, even if small, like pretty much every other class.

Maybe giving them the smuggled in buff all the time to the group and not just from ISD?
