Equip low level with 1000dps weapon : Star Wars Galaxies Nerfed Info

OK, I was trying out that guys lv90 armor exploit it didnt work but i found something surprising. I had a LV 90 trader equip with a level 88 taskmaster guass rifle I repeced him to combat a lv48 Mando and he lost the armor but still has the level 88 rifle equiped and it still works with mando skills.

Can members say yay or nay to this being usefull so it may be moved to the confirmed section? If you say nay please say why so we can help others know.

Ive kinda seen something like this on TC. Specced my CL90 trader (Yes, I had a CL90 trader on TC!) to combat trough the profession councler, and the low level was wielding a very-much so CL90 weapon.

I'll see if I can try this out on live. (So a semi-yay)

isnt this akin to respecing to any class with another type of weapon equipped but unequips once you log?

I have heard of this working
I actually did an instance run with a medic that had a lightsaber equiped. said this was how he did it.

Ok, i am not premium but i can confirm this. It works not with lightsabers (maybe because they have profession requirements). But i was able to equip the Crusader M-XX Heavy Rifle with my lvl 90 ent and then fight with it as a level 5 commando! Npcs which are 15 levels above me were not a problem anymore.

Be careful with thiw exploit. Do not use weapons wich require a high-level (restuss-Weapons or battlefield-weapons and no heavy weapons). If someone see you, well ... its a easy fix for the devs.

* EDIT:

Even after a logout the weapons stay equipped! You should just never unquip them until you reached the level you need.

How long was your logout? It should unequip overnight. I did this when speccing the ent to combat, and it lost the weapon when I logged back in overnight

Same thing happened to me.
