Thread: OverPowered?
Hiya guys, fairly new to the forums, hope this post doesn't rub anyone the wrong way.
In all seriousness, knockdown is currently overpowered, has been since release. Pistoleers get 1 very early on (pistol melee defense 1) and disarmingn shot 2, a ranged AOE verision, at mastery. These two specials allow no-risk multiple red-mob killing for XP/harvest/missionmoney/faction/PvP.
well, actually, a good PvP player can defeat almost anyone with almost any profession right now, so I don't think that's really whats being called overpowered. Probably just PvE.
Other than that, pistols do have a nice selection of well crafted weapons to choose from. Scout blasters for XP, and the FWG5 for PvP. None of the resources are rare so they can be crafted to almost perfect quality. Other professions seem to have trouble getting really top notch weapons as easily. Certainly this has nothing to do with pistoleers and more to do with crafting/resources however.
That's my take. Usually the professions/classes in any MMORPGthat do the best early on get nerfed really hard, and spend the next two years trying to get fixes put in place that brings them in line with everyone else. That's a historical perspective, let's see if history repeats itself.
In all seriousness, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart...
Seeing a FWG5 with 50-200 damage and 1.0 speed makes me think that Pistols in general are a tash over powered.
Just a little.

*Are pistoleers really "overpowered"*?
Ignore the spoiled brats here and take a peak.
Simple answer. Look in every single profession forum correspondent posts and you will see major game breaking bugs. Also remember, human ego dictatesHumans all want to be"invincible" No one is going to say I am overpowered nerf me now.
Now after going thru all the professions and reading all the Major issues and gripes... kindly take a look at the Pistol correspondent post and what do you find?, "WE WANT PISTOL TWIRLS", *LMAO*
That's right, *PISTOL TWIRLS*, is that not a slap to every single profession in this game?
We are so content and dare not say we are overpowered, the only major improvement we can come up with is we want to be like the Lone Ranger!, Doc Holliday!, Wyatt Earp !
Tombstone ROOLZ !!
Aye. Begone troll, you're boring us.

- Change it to a you're stunned / dizzy / knocked for a loop type attack that reduces your attack speed by xx percent (50 to start perhaps?) for a fixed duration (10 seconds?) without stacking on multiple uses ("you're target is already knocked loopy" message on attempted use).
- Repeat applications have reduced effects (reduced duration and / or percent slow effect).
There. Now it's not debilitating. It's still powerful, but it doesn't single handedly decide all fights. You get hit with it, you're handicapped for a bit, the other guy gets an extra shot or two in because of it, then you land your attack back on him, and OMG - you might actually use some of your other specials / skills and some tactics because KD is no longer the end-all be-all of combat!
Skyshar,

Ooh, can you BE more incorrect? I'm curious. In all seriousness. Bring sarcasm and poor information to this forum? Horray for you!
I can't waste the time blasting this information in more than just these few simple ways:
1. Many high end weapons can be crafted better, it's resource/crafting issues, not pistoleer issues for crying out loud. Besides, FWG5 is a marksman certificate. Go shake their cage while you're at it.
2. I've already found better scatters pistols. Better average damage, and of course, acid damage+ AR1 > heat + AR0.
3. Are you aware of how weapon speed works in this game? A carbine user with 100 speed can use a 4.0 speed carbine, with their slowest/highest damage special attack, and attack EVERY SECOND. An FWG5 at 1.0 seconds is a complete waste to +100 speed players, they choose damage over delay, and STILL ATTACK EVERY SECOND.I really hope that helps you in your next irresponsible accusation.
You want to talk about overpowered? Please go see Marksman, BH and Carbine then, if you want to be "fair" about it.
Headroll... You are a shining example of how society is. Thank you SO MUCH!!! This will REALLY help in my human nature report!! Because your two cents... one cent... ok... your OPINION however worthless doesn't really matter to many people. Are you a Pistoleer? No? Then who gives a flying rat's ass what you think? Oh right, it's just soooo important to voice your opinion no many how many times it has been said before by others right?
Because your just sooooooooooooooooooo very special and need attention, correct? Yes, I realise I am feeding a troll... but he only has 'Stealth Tactics 2: Trick the n00bs' so I figured I'd throw him some freee xp...
To Sepen,
I find it quite funny I challenged the poster to take a peak at all the other professions and FACTUALLY withoutBIASnotice that all the other professions has major gripes about their class. It's obvious since you are not condoning this action that you realize it is true.
It's also a fact that your list of wants of your chosen profession was "PISTOL TWIRLS", Was this not your chosen improvement to your profession, Just a simple yes or no will do. If you guys want to fantasize about being the Lone Ranger, hey, more power to ya.
Do you see how this is a direct slap to the other professions? Simple yes or no will do.
But since it's obvious I am posting facts and you obviously can't think of anything to comeback with.
Your spoiled ego, which matches your profession by the way has simply resorted to name calling. Because you just can't take the Fact I am right.
Taa Taa
why is it that people always call for nerfs of other professions instead of trying to get fixes for their own????
seriously you think pistoleers are overpowered? KD is but thats two moves not a whole profession, i dont even have those moves atm. I see heavy swordsman able to one hit players in pvp POST-NERF, do i think they should be nerfed bc they hit so hard, no, they deserve that right for getting close enough to slice you.
rifleman sufferd from the 75% reduction, a sniper should be able to one shot you from a distance, thats kind of the point.
pistoleers should be quick and deadly at close (but not melee range) distances
bounty hunters should be able to have the tools and tactics to take on about any profession if they're playing right,
should pistoleers get scatter/laucher pistols NO just because they have pistol in the name doesn't mean anything leave them to their respective professions.
what seriously needs to happen is people to jump off this nerf war and start worrying about your own profession(s), I am a pistoleer/weaponsmith who gets killed ALOT, the point is if you nerf professions it makes it harder to advance for the novices and such to be able to be what some call overpowered.
Master Pistoleer should be about an EVEN fight with a BH who has his pistol tree, sure the BH spent more points but LESS on pistol points, now if the BH is trained in his carbine or LLC tree and switches to those whose to say whats fair.
I think balance is going to be impossible, the world is not balanced, I do think I am tired of seeing this game nerfed to where no profession is going to be enjoyable anymore. Seirously think about how these nerfs have effected professions when they hit, and what a bad nerf would do to yours if it hit.
What if they nerfed, Medics so they get 1/4 of the medical exp they get now, its far easier to level as a medic ooo thats not fair. oh a master tailor get killed by a novice carbineer, better nerf. nerf nerf nerf, this is the bull that I am tired of seeing.
How about we stop nerfing and start fixing broken professions, hello commando, hello bio-engineer would you like some love? I mean seriously nerfing things into uselessness seems to be the only way to balance it so we are all equally useless and then what are people going to say, nerf minor worrts?
