I dont know if this has been mentioned before but I think that pistoleers should have some kind of mind only attack. It just seems weird that our whole profession is based on pistol and yet Bounty Hunters have better pistol attacks than us. Eye Shot owns them all. Just a thought

I would want that, and the BH's can get Disarm Shot....

The solution is NOT to give Pistoleers an imbalanced and overpowered attack -it's to simply get rid of it, really, or adjust Mind damage to not make it the Trump Card of combat.



Shifting the problem doesn't solve the problem.

nononononono. if you want to do mind damage then be a bh or rifleman. how about some uniqueness in the game?

Yea but at least a rifleman has to use his own mind pool to attack someone elses. Eye shot is rediculous and it's funny to sit in a city and watch novice bounty hunters spam eyeshot over and over and over. They claim it's not a problem or that they use it sparingly....heh.

at least with pistols your special attacks drain your action line and not your mind line like rifleman

BH here with a great idea for ya all. You "should" get a move "like" Eyeshot and then.. hehe .. and then.....


you should lose..


77 Skill Points ( Points BHs waste on the non-pvp class of Master Scout ) then LOL


you should lose..


28 Skill Points ( Points used on Marksman Rifle and Carbine Skill )


Total= 105 Points you should be made to "waste" before you enjoy a special that does mind damage.


EVERYONE FORGETS HOW MUCH EYESHOT REALLY COSTS


So Pistoleer enjoy getting to have skill in many other professions.. we can't cuz Eyeshot is our baby and it cost us dearly.





Ishpur's Profile ( To clear up any untrue slander that may slip on by ) UNPOPULAR VIEWS I HOLD. Eyeshot should not got to Master, it should stay at BH Pistol 2 and not be changed. Player Bounties should remain in Investigation 3. The BH Forum should focus their rants more toward gaining new PvP abilities for both MBH and non-MBHs. FIRST ACCOUNT: BH Pistol Line, Pistoleer 0,0,0,2 not going any higher, Squad Leader 0,0,0,4, TKA 0,3,0,4 SECOND ACCOUNT: Working on Master RIfleman, TKA 4,3,0,4, Fencer 4,4,0,0, Pikeman 0,0,4,0.

Eye Shot hasn't saved any bounty hunters from this pistoleer.

i agree that bhs should be a hard target, cause they have to spend so much skill points. but its just frustrating to loose against one repeatetly spammed pistol move. in my opinion the strenght of a bh is, that hes capable of using many different types of weapons. so he has the right gun for the actual situation. unfortunatetly atm bhs are master rifleman, master pistoleer and master carabineer, and even better than that cause they have better moves/guns. its just apain in the "§$ to get incaped by a 1200 dam one shot from a llc or a flamer (commando) or watchin ur mind go down in 200th pieces by a spammed eye shot, even if ur a doc,ur dead in 5 secs max, so u really start questioning urself, "do i have the right profession, should i do pvp at all?"


imo the pistoleers should have the best (or at least equal) pistol moves, unfortunatetly the best pistol moves right now are in the smugglers Rogue and the BH pistol line, not to mention speed bonus or accuracy etc. (notrogues) Im not questioning for a mind targetet pistoleer move, a nice stopping shot that is able to incap a bh or a commando in the same amount of time they incap me will be fine, thanks.


but before any nerfing of commando or bh, plz devs fix our (pistoleer) moves and defenses asap as suggestet from the pistol community (and jeagen of course). only then we will see, where we are actually standing.

Great post Deadnewbie... you shouldbe on the Califonia ticket. You might be Arnold withone liners like that.



Muon Gold, a helmet, a healthy does of Last Ditch at Master Pistoleer speed. It's the fastest ticket to the cloning facility most bounty hunters will see.


I think my record time on a bounty hunter is 3 seconds from the first shot to him needing a cloning facility. Swap in Stopping Shot and you're looking at a 5 seconds kill.


My stats are 800/800/1100 (800/800/1600 with Muon). God help the idiot who spams Eye Shot against that.


Look the math is really simple. Use all the skill points you have to work things to your advantage. I'm a pistoleer/smuggler/teras kasi/medic. I'm hard to kill anyway you slice it. At range, I rock your world. Up close I rock your world even harder.


Commandos have a hard time killing me (1800/1300/1100 HAM with Neutron pixie -- I kill them first then put out the fire). See a commando, pop neutron pixie, follow up with a Stim B. Rush in. Commando does a flame single. Pistol whip, a spam of stopping shots later. Death blow. At this point you can let the fire finish burning and still have HAM left over.


Combat medics have a hard time killing me (off 'em, meditate the disease/poison away).


The record for tonight was commando, bounty hunter, combat medic, and some brawler vs. me. I left 4 people dead outside of Bestine. I got set on fire a total of six times on Tatooine. I didn't get incapped once due to the fire.


Design your template well and you are unstoppable. The only thing I fear is someone with my exact same template and equipment. I've fought someone like that before. It was ugly and brutal.
