Pistoleer Archive

I was gonna become Pistoleer but ive seen that every body is nagging about SOE to fix the Pistoleer proffession so i ask you what exactly is wrong with this proffession?

I would add that in addition we are slower and less accurate than Rifleman in any distance to the target, we have only AP0 and 1 weapons and no real role in groups (neither are we the damage dealer nor the crowd control nor the supporter or the tank-nothing really.) All we can do is deal (health-)damage and (meele) KD, but we aren't very good at it.

That's why I dropped master until the allmighty CB.

Not the Dmg doers? but if a Rifleman uses 6sec to load and does 1000dmg and pistoleer uses 2sec and does 400dmg doesnt that make pistoleer supirior? specially if the rifleman misses?

Um....Rifleman doesn't take 6 sec to load, they are just as fast or faster than us. So they do the 1kdmg/s while we are doing the 400dmg/sec.

We only get the 400dmg if we use specials with a high damage pistol, butwe lose a lot in speed. Rifles could kill us outright without a special.

Are only weapon that might hurt someone, if we got lucky, has AP0, lowest dmg, and slowest speed. The lucky part is if they have no armor, not buffed, and almost dead.

So should i go Rifleman instead of pistoleer?

Simple,the best pistol special attacks are not in Pistoleer.

Actually if only the combat system would work as supposed then LD would not be so powerfull compared to other pistol specials. Yes it is powerfull damagewise, but it should be more slow than the situation is... again compared to other pistol specials. Yes Low blow is the only ranged attack, but honestly I feel that stopping shot at least should have an effect that folows the name... e.g. a delay on your opponent or knockdown.

So yes the best pistol attacks are currently not in pistoleer and the reason for that is that they are more or less broken.

My template is: Master Pistoleer/ Master Smuggler/ Bounty Hunter 4000

Every time I fight now I kneel. I am not pressing kneel, it just makes me kneel. I even fight guildies that are using range attack only. I do not attack them and what happens? The system forces me to kneeling.

What is worse is I cannot stand back up until combat is completely over.

On top of these problems, when I try to use a special I get the "click, click" sound. I don't even have to be attacking, and auto-attack is off with a full action bar and it clicks like I cannot attack at all. It then does not do the attack. This happens for all my attacks that I have noticed.

This is totally stopping me from playing any type of combat at the moment. I can't even hunt with my guildies because I can't do anything and I am so frustrated in trying to fight that I have stopped completely.

Does anyone know what this is? is this happening to anyone else? What is the source?

I have also switched up weapons. Like the Tangle, FWG5 and my Reneegade.

OMG!!!!!!!!

I just figured out what was happening!!!

Not sure how, but it happened. My default attack somehow became kneel. But kneel is way back in toolbar 6 that I never use. I almost always type it out.

I was going to go remove it in case it was something like it was a loop that was hosed, but there was the check mark. OMG...

You're not the first person I've heard of that happening to. Kneel getting set as the default attack that is... sounds like a random bug.
