HI EVERYONE
I would like to start this with, i love this game, i love star wars, and i loved the idea of being a master pistoleer from the beginning of my gameplay. I am a casual player by most accounts and when i started playing SWG back at publish i made the decision to be a Master Ranger Master Pistoleer. I thought that the idea of being deadly with a pistol sounded so cool. I could run the galaxy fighting evil. I was so happy. It took me 4 months to Master ranger and Pistoleer (like i said im a casual player). Well Ranger went quick its a usless professionbut thats for another post. SO this whole time i have been a master pistoleer. I have matched it with Master Creature Handler for a while and it was fun in PvE for a while but i soon came to realize that Master Pistoleer is a wasted profession. I get owned by everyone. And to prove it i went out dropped CH and picked up TKA. Now as a 2,4,4,4 TKA i can crush NPC, Creatures and Players like I never had the chance to before. It is so crazy how much of a diffrence there is between the two professions. The amount of damage a tka can dish out as compaired to a pistoleer is astonishing!
Now understand i love being a pistoleer, my friends say drop it. But i love it!!
Will we ever be taken care of by the Devs, will our profession ever be fixed, will we recieve weapons that do comprabable damage to swordsman/tka ect ect. will we get a weapon that is usefull in PvP that we dont have to buy for 5 million credits. because we arent strong enough to go to the geo caves our selves..... or will we continue to be the laughing stock of battle proffesions...
Should i stay a Master Pistoleer.....What should i do my friends... I need support from my fellow gunfighters!!!
Thanks for your time!!!

Well, I think most people are pistoleers to roleplay or because they like using pistols, not because it owns. So it is really up to you.

I to know what your talking about, but I love pistols, so I took the best of both worlds. I dont PvP, but I love being able to hunt the most dangerous creatures in the Galaxy. So if you enjoy your pistols keep them. Its all in waht you have fun with most.
I am Master Smuggler/ Teras Kasi Master/ Master Pistoleer

Don't know about you, but I decided to stick with Pistoleer until after the combat revamp. Either we get fixed as TH promised for half a year now (I think) or I will finally drop it and perhaps go Carbineer (hey, they already fixed some of their specials, didn't they? 
)
)

Hmm, so youhave Master Pistol and getting TKA. You sound like you really like pistols so I'd keep them just for the sake of being that cool, and in the hope that it'll get fixed. If you need help, you have TKA to fall back on. But most importantly, you already qualify for Smuggler. You could become the Triple Master (TKA/Smuggler/Pistoleer). It's quite a combo. If not that, then at least pick up Dirty Fighting. That'll get you some of the best pistol specials in the game. I'm talking about the X6 damage multiplier and stun chance Last Ditch and the ever so loveable ranged knockdown, LowBlow. That'll make you better with Pistols and make it funner, and you'll always have TKA.

i believe you are missing an important point; tk issue only kinetic damage, have an extremely short range and fairly high ham costs. tkms can not stack offense like pistols and carbs can... i was a master carbineer as my first profession, i realized the importance of kiting but found it annoying to do all the time. so, i dropped it for tkm then i got tired of everyone else kiting. there is not easy proffession. all melee classes get a bonus against the ranged classes. but against 80% kinetic armor, a tkm is all but useless. you should really look at the strengths and weaknesses of all the classes before complaining. i find it quite annoying that everyone wants their class of choice to be stronger. you should use your benifits to your advantage, not complain about your class shortcoming.

hmm his isnt that high either compared to many people. Post count has little to do with it. Maybe it means he spends more time playing than gossiping..

I've been master pistol, bh pistol4 for a few weeks now and I gotta say its a pretty damn good template.. before i was master smuggler/master pistol, tka and I got db'd quiet often, but since changing my template Im extremely happy... only thing I miss from smuggler is slicing but now that I have master scout I can make a ton of money harvesting and soloing enranged rancor lairs... basicly what Im saying is even though pistoleer is busted you can still pretty much be uber if you do it right.
