im not talking broken skills. im talking skills that were changed in beta(that i never had a chance to test) and are no so completly useless it MAKES ME SICK.


i grinded for hours on end trying to get chargeshot 1 seeing as how the BH knockdown and pistol knockdown do 500 damage each and of course, knock the enemy down.


i finally get this stupid skill and what does it do?


every time i shoot my freaking gun i do a STUPID running with hands in the air emote and what do i do for damage? 150!!!!!


this is complete CRAP.



here, let me go against a pistoleer that does 500 damage every 1.5 seconds with a carbine that does 800 damage every 2.8 seconds, and a knockdown skill thats completly WORTHLESS.


good job, i have just surrendered all my carbine pts and graduated pistoleer. this is bullsh*t.

Its not that SWG is not fun, its more like they adopted a new mentality. Lets do whatever we can to make the game as boring as possible, kinda like sex with a nun.

I felt the exact same way today. I finnaly get charge shot today. I thought i was getting this great move, and all i got was let down. After seeing what all the other knockdowns and then this its jsut sad. Then the fac knockdown will probably be nerfed leaves that skill completely worthless.

Gosh, they are re-vamping the Carbineer profession. I wish everyone would just stop telling the DEV's how "crappy" the carbineer is wait till after they do a re-vamp before you start nailing theprofessionwith flames please. Besides, if you looked in to this profession before climbing this side of the tree you would have known this before you "wasted" your time. It's really quite your own fault you didnt do your research.

if we don't complain, it'll never be fixed Its up to us to complain, otherwise, who's gonna know the class is ever broken. the more we complain, the more attention the devs give this topic, a said fact of the forumns.

If they were actually reading all these stupid posts, why would they need correspondents? They created the job just so they wouldn't have to read 8 different people make 8 different posts to complain about the same thing.... I guess you dont see all the other posts on the first page of this forum... So the question is are you too stupid to read the other posts or do you just not respect the other forum members enough to post with other people and need your "own" thread ?

Tip for you, don't grind. Have fun instead. Then you won't be stupidly disgusted over stupid things.

huh, charge shot works fine for me. I can solo ST's easily with it, I swap in a CDEF to charge shot them and then bleed him while he is down. Once he is bleeding I will do a charge shot and then swap in my DH17 (thanks to startsider crappy resources this is thedamagecarb still!)and shoot him 3 times, then swap back to CDEF and charge shot him again.


in PVP the knockdown doesnt last nearly as long, however its enough time to make distance on someone, I use charge shot and throw in a bleed shot and then chain fire charge shot to keep someone pinned. It doesnt take long for them to die this way.

Charge shot works fine for me.


It would be nice if it actually did some damage when it hit, like the pistoleer pistol whip, but thats the only complaint I've got. The little emote is more funny than anything else, especially if you do a charge at point blank...you wind up running around the mob in a little cloverleaf pattern. Goofy, but not the end of the world.

In my opinion all weapon abilities which cause any "crowd-control-like"-effect should do"NO" damage at all, regardless if someone is BH, Carbineer, Pistoleer etc. The effect is even then stillpowerful enough (and should be looked atand tweaked if necessary)on its own.

i agree in that knockdowns and such should do no damage. i mean when you have a shot that can just be spammed wihtout being in any danger, there goes the validity of combat in pvp. take UO for example, had a great pvp system and all the fights were a bit more drawn out and fun. there was paralyze, great skill, but you use things that in conjunction with others as paralyze did no damage whatsoever.

Umm the knockdown doesn't dogood damage so now its worthless? Pistol knockdown is a melee range move so its still not as good.Ranged knockdown is still the best move in the game even if you can't spam it over and over like the bounty hunter one. People like you make the devs think the players are all idiots and ignore the real problems.
