Pistoleer Archive

Alright im sorry but pistoleer flat out sucks now...

heres my story.

im out north of entha and i see some mound mites and i start shooting at them. 4 of them run at me im thinking oh no big deal i can take them. But guess what? i cant they incapp me i mean cmon devs throw us a friggin bone here.

my fwg5 stats

41-211 dmg

2.0 speed

4 round mites you said ?

Dunno about their resists (shouldn't be that high) but 4 mobs hitting you still can incap you, even at mastery.

There is no real problem here, just maybe bad luck.

if you're Novice Pistoleer, I don't see any reason to worry.

O yea well if that happened to me Id be dead with only one!

With the riflemans 2.5x melee id be dead in a matter of seconds after they WARPED on top of me, luckliy you probably wo9uldnt hafta shoot from a prone pos. meaning the whole time they were hitting you, you were running, I would hafta stand up (2 seconds) turn around (1 sec) AND then i would shoot once every few seconds probably missing too thanks to the rifleman's short range deficiency.

LOL

You really think Pistoleer is broken, LOL. Try being a Carbineer, I do one special move and I'm as good as incaped. Truely it would take 4 or 5 shots using Full Auto Single and I cant use it any more because my HAM is drained, believe me Pistoleers have it good, you guys actually have defence mods, the only one I have is broke.

heavy weapons > everything else

Doctor buffs > heavy weapon

A Vicious Pubam Battlelord almost killed me 2 hours ago. Hopefully, as a good Pistoleer, I used Burst Run, this is Pistoleer Only, don't seek it.


Taunting off


Pistoleer Guy : yes, the 2.5 mod is something that should be looked at. OK, any other argue ? This one becomes boring, really. The mob is warping on you all the time ? It happens to me sometimes too but not that often, is there a "Riflemen Private Nerf" or what ? Yes it happens and YES it kills you, it almost killed me many times and it actually killed me much more often. you're not special with bugs, we all suffer the same ones.

Carbineer Guy : avoid "LOL" in your sentences, it gives a kid tone that doesn't fit very well when you try to say something important. Or what you said wasn't important ? btw, we're also aware your Special Moves are bugged too for the HAM cost. OK, WE KNOW IT. You still can use Marksman ones like Pistoleers do...yeah Pistoleers, you know, the guy you're taunting for 4 posts that is using Marksman Skills to be more efficient as a Master. Do the same thing, you said it yourself : Pistoleer doesn't seem THAT broken. Go on.

I think Rifles and Carbines have major problems too.

They should get rid of the 2.5 melee damage thing with rifles, and deal with the warping mobs. They should also do something about rifle HAM costs.

And with carbines they need some even bigger help with HAM costs. And they were hit hard by the knockdown nerfs, so they could use something to compensate for that.

We support you guys in getting that stuff fixed, but please be aware that we have some major issues and problems in our profession as well. There isn't a single special move in the Pistoleer tree that's better than what you get at Marksman, the Pistoleer pistol sucks and is bugged, etc. There's really no point to climbing that tree right now, and most people are going with other professions for pistol since they have good special moves and better pistols.

To the Rifle guy, my suggestion is that if you don't like the 2.5 melee damage thing then go talk to Aldeon about that. He has the ability to push for issues in Correspondent forum and he's pushing to nerf Pistoleers instead of pushing for your issues to get fixed.

I know on our end that we just want our own profession fixed, and we support you guys in getting yours fixed too.

Multiple creatures can incapacitate you regardless of their damage if they happen to hit the same pool and you are too slow in healing.

I'd suggest practicing your pulling so at most you are fighting one or two.

Warning shot is your friend if you had leveled ranged support.

Of course, as a Pistoleer you have skill points to spare, you could pick up a few boxes of CH or even get a non-CH pet to distribute the threat.

barker i used to be a carbineer but after i got lvl 3 everything i dropped it. (i feel your pain)

Anybody who doesn't have a rock beetle or a mountain krevol pet at the very least is putting themselves at a huge handicap.

Yes, I respect people who are avoiding the Poke-mon Wars phenomenon intentionally but you need to ask yourself if you really want to:

1. Lose out on a pet that out tanks a Master Brawler,


2. Skip out on a massive xp bonus when soloing, and


3. A useful distraction while you burst-run away.

All available to anybody fresh off the tutorial shuttle.

Sad but true, Dinian.

Try picking up some medic skills and stimming yourself if you are getting incapped as a pistoleer. I found that medic works amazingly well with pistoleer since your attacks use H/A and your heals use Mind. The only time I ever get incapped by anything is when I run out of mind (usually cause I've been stimming myself like crazy).

Still, even with this you will get incapped if you get jumped by multiple mobs.. for instance, the last time I got incapped I had7 mutant womp rats surround me and start beating on me. I got two heals off but then my mind ran out and dirt nappin' I went.

I would really tell all Pistoleers to pick up Medic and make/buy some high quality stims, it enhances the class so significantly it's not even funny.
