Pistoleer Archive

Pffffft yea right.... ok i'm a master pistoleer. My conclusion: Special shots suck. Weapons Suck. We get owned by novice chefs.

This has been by far the biggest waste of time i have ever commited myself to. My knockdown which was the only thing i had goin for me now lasts half a second and can only be done once. every 30 sec. lololol... when was the last time you saw a pistoleer last 30 sec in a duel...ROFL.

The speed is broken....I hit just as slow as everyone else in my group, only i'm doing less damage with any number of my sliced weapons with powerups attached.

Stopping shot doesn't stop anything... cept maybe a gubber. and fan shot is a less powerful slightly faster stopping shot... ummm still stopping nothing... and certainly not fanning.

accuracy is almost tolerable when you get up the accuracy tree.

I really lost to a novice marksman who was using kickup shot over and over, which constantly hit my mind for some reason.

blah i can't even go on anymore its pointless... i'm loggin in right now to start surrendering my months of work to start more months of work as a commando. and maybe one day just maybe i'll be able to kill some noob who has been playin for 3 days. absolutely unbelievable. c'mon devs its pistoleer... gunslingers... han solo style... its sposed to work...really it's just gone FLOP. ------> insert huge string of obsenities here<-------------

han was a smuggler

ahh but you forget you can master smuggler and pistoleer trees... silly. tell me you saw han with anything but that blaster of his? and how often did you see him smuggling during the movies? he had obviously givin that skill tree up.

LOL that is pretty funny, Han Solo said something like "Ancient powers and kooky religions are no match for a good blaster at your side." although it wasnt exactly like that i still thing u get my point :\

Good points lol

My fwg5 owns...its a 343 max dmg 2.1spd

In duelsi use an fwg5 that is 1.7spd 265 max dmg and i use fanshot, which goes off every 1 second, i make sure i eat a tattoine sunburner to prevent ham dmg. I take most people out in 3 to 4 shots. Min hit is for 250 max hits are around 500 dmg.

Most my duels are 5 seconds, with me as winner, i took out a high lvl commando who even set me on fire...to bad i made him bleed for 500 dmg, so his armor didnt protect him. Learn how to support your profession...just getting master pistoleer isnt gonna be enough.

Also as for pistol whip, well everyones knockdown is messed up..but there suppose to be changing that in the next patch that is already on test center. It will make things stay down for 5 seconds...so with that gun i have i will get off 5 fanshots which will do double the dmg cause of knockdown doing 2500 to 5000 dmg in 5 seconds...

Plus if you want more power go grab the pistol line of bounty hunter and get eye shot + torso shot...or go commando and get the laucher pistol which can use all pistoleer speicals...i have seen lauchers with krayt tissue that had a max dmg of over 400 and 2.5 spd...use tatics, that is what a pistoleer has to do.

gotta applaud you. the ability you have to adapt to the situation and keep faith in your profession its pretty inspiring.

And I gotta agree with you. with no other skills, it costs 92/250 skill points to master pistoleer. Unless you're an artisan/entertainer/weaponsmith/medic/blah, than you still have 158 skill points to beef yourself up.

But i would disagree on taking more offense, and in place get some serious defense.

A master doctor / pistoleer,you'll be able to max out your 3 mindstats in stat migration, and just buff the rest before battle, and throw on a full set of armor 24/7, making it a little more difficult to just 3 shot you. Throw in a nice krayt weapon, and you'll almost definitely be able to take out most players before they take you down. (not to mention you can pop off those pesky CM's and than just cure poison/disease.)

The advantage Commandos and BH's have are extremely damaging attacks, the advantage pistoleer has is versatility.

I agree pistoleer cant be used alone at the moment, i use stopping shot in duels and i do 400-700 dmg in a duel and with the fastest possible attack speed in game. I usually do Eyeshot first, torsoshot, bleeding shot then stopping shot. They usually will miss because of eyeshot and all the other ones will turn them to mush. Commandos do kill me in one shot... if they can hit me!

"to bad i made him bleed for 500 dmg" you wont get a 500 damage bleed in PVP

"400-700 dmg in a duel and with the fastest possible attack speed in game" ermm 700 means your hitting for over 2k before damage reduction pistols just dont get that high..

Highest stopping shot in pvp ive seen from krayt scatter is 600 (1800 pve)

Carbine has higher damage weapons than us and usauly hits 600-800 with similiar damage mod attacks

And you have BH skills.Pistoleers cannot spam stopping shot every 1 second

Curious, what professions are you using to compliment pistoleer? As Glowstix pointed out, we are very versatile. I once saw a duel between a novice bounty hunter, who had progressed up both the pistol accuracy tree in pistoleer and the pistol skills in BH, take on a master creature handler who was also up the pistoleer tree. The BH incapped the MCH but right after that the latters GSPs incapped the former. So since we do have a lot of skill points remaining after master pistol I think we should compliment it with other skills that will enable us to be a match for BH or commando.

Pistoleer dabblers greatly compliment CH's in PvE, just so you know.

I'm a CH/Pistoleer/Doctor
3404 CH (GSP + Grand Wrix combo, or single Graul Mauler or Merek Cavern Creeper)
0042 Pistoleer (Fan Shot/Stopping Shot plus some pistol speed)
0410 Doctor (res/heal)

It allows me to remain close to my pets and heal them in heavy combat, and yet deal out a significant amount of damage to the enemies while my pets hold them off.

I know in PvP pistoleers seem to be suffering, but in PvEit compliments at least these classes very well.
