Thread: Melee Carbine Attack?

Has there ever been any talk of adding a melee Carbine special? Pistols have the PIstol Whip move, and I've seen people in plenty of movies smacked with the butt of a shotgun or larger weapon.

Just seems like a great thing to have when those pesky ST's close to melee and try to go TKA.

Never happen.....


Pistol Whip is NOT a Melee attack....it is identical to ChargeShot.


/smartarse on

And hitting you with the butt of my Carbine is somehow favorable to shoving the barrel down your throat and pulling the trigger? Didn't think so..


/chuckle Yeraze why don't we give TKM a ranged shot like CripplingShot or SprayShot....hmmmmm


BTW, this is a ranged profession and there are plenty of fine melee profs out there

/smartarse off

PIstol Whip is a melee attack... I used to be a pistoleer, and it was alot of fun to wait for the ST's to close the gap and then knockem down with it.

I didn't figure this would be a particularly powerful attack, just something to add a little flavor and entertainment rather than spamming FullAutoSingle .. When one gets too close, jabem in the ribs or the face with the butt of my carbine, then shove the barrel down their throat..

Just something I thought might be entertaining, and marginally useful

OK, chief.....and I was a Master Pistoleer as well. I have been a Master Fencer and would NEVER call Pistol Whip a melee attack or even remotely suggest such a thing for Carbineer. Would you call ChargeShot within 10m of the target a melee attack then....because it is IDENTICAL except the animation to Pistol Whip....


But we are allowed to have our own opinions......




Oh I forgot to add that personally I DO NOT WANT every type of attack from every other profession....I like being a Carbineer and while /godmode sounds appealing...in practice it would suck....

Its only the animation...I was Master Pistoleer/TKM It still goes off pistol damage and damage type and all that funness, my unarmed damage mods did not go into affect...so calling it a melee attack is rather loose because it also used your weapons range mods.


Mainly you are just asking for another attack and some new animations for you character. Im thinking there are MANY more things that need to be addressed in this game then some cheesy attack that is exactly the same to one of your current ones, but with different animation dont ya think?

Ok.. I must be missing something here.. How can an attack that can only be used when in Melee range (10m or so), NOT be a melee attack?

You can't pistol whip at 45m...

You guys crack me up.


Here's my $0.02... The attack, in all aspects of this game's dynamics, is a ranged attack with a restricted range. BUT, if I were to classify bonking someone over the head with the butt of my pistol in the real world, I would most certainly say it was a "melee" attack.


So, there... you are both right. Now give me my Firehawk EE3 please.

My favorite Melee attack is /tap <target>;/punch <target>;/laugh <target>


Resulting in:


Hosoke Enaitol Tap %TT on the sholder

Hosoke Enaitol punches %TT in the face

Hosoke Enaitol laughes at %TT

We already have one, it's called wirlwind attack.


Just stand within 4 meters of your target and type /chargeshot1


Be warned it also applies a dizzy state to yourself.
