And yes I know it's a commando using a rifleman attack but I still ask the question why can't we!?

Heh...Good question.....Another question, how did you survive that anyway?

I didn't survive I was incapped.

Because it's no fun getting that kind of damage done to you, and after a while, doing 1000 damage to people and killing them in less than a second gets old

Better question... what the weapon did it use on ya? 6 consecutive 1000+? Wow! Even witgh strafe thats some kit... That's a 2 shot on a dragon I think. Sheesh.

I do more than that and im a commando. I do a max of like 2700 with stopping shot and my pimp LP of 303 damage.

yea, but you're using pistoleer skills, why should we have to choose another elite profession just to survive?

I agree with you Gurbok, why spending skill points on a profession just for ac ouple certifications then use the abilities from another profession anyway...

Since you are a good pistoleer, why juts not use a DX2 pistol, wich I'm sure is as good as a launcher pistol anyway

Heh..rifleman specials are very nice

To comment on your postthe DX2 pistol does not exist. The resources that are used to create even a basic model are not available on any server I have played on. I don't know anyone who has any experience with them.

Much like the Heavy Acid Rifle and a couple other weapons, the DX2 cannot be crafted very will since the power handlers(i believe it is)do not add any damage to the crafting process. Therefore, a DX2 can be made on the servers with the resources, but they absolutely suck.

Guys, this is the deal. I really believe that SOE intends for us to advance in the advanced pistol profession alongside the commando tree. Here is my reasoning:

1) They already said that Heavy Weapons are going to be "special case" weapons. They are supposedly upping the damage of the HW specials big time in the test center, but they are also making sure that there are appropriate drawbacks to prevent us from, say, spamming flame cone 1.

2) Add that to the expendable aspect to what will be our most powerful weapon and it adds up to the fact that we're not supposed to be using heavy weps in all situations.

3) They are fixing the launcher pistol to give HW exp. This is a really decent weapon if you can find a good one. Combine it with the advanced pistol skills and it's truly deadly.

I think it's time that we all come to grips with the fact that SOE wants us to have to advance up both the commando and pistoleer advanced skill trees. Sorry if you don't agree, but that's my read of what I've seen so far.

Buzzy

So instead of gating us through the commando tree they gate us by making us take up another Profession?

Cause..that makes alot of sense.....
