A rifleman uses rifles... a carbineer uses carbines... a pistoleer uses pistols.... need I go on?


A gun fighter would us.. well.... everything.

I agree. The name is fine but I don't get how it is a profession. You really don't make money as a Pistoleer. You make money as an account or a lawyer...

You make money by using your skills with a pistol to get you credits. Whether it is pressing it against an old lady's head and demanding her purse, or blowing open a pinata to ruin a party for little children, you use that pistol to make money, or just for your own sadistic pleasure.

I really liked "Master Gunfighter" better then master pistoleer but overall i think pistoleer is the proper name for the profession.

I want Master Gunfighter back, that was the best title in game to me. They could at least replace Gunslinger with Gunfighter. Everybody knew what the hell a master gunfighter in game was.

I believe Pistoleers should get the title Desperado (the Bounty HUnter title for the pistols line) and the Bounty Hunters should get Trickshot.

Thats the only thing that bugs me about titles with Pistoleers.

I believe pistoleer relates to the fact SOE have pissed on us by giving us specials and weapons that are next to worthlesss.
