Yeah, us pistoleers are having a rough time. Our class is almost entirely broken, and the only worthwhile special in the entire class is fanshot, and it's not even that good compared to other elite professions' specials. The only thing the devs have done to us is 1. nerf and nerf and nerf and nerf.... and 2. give us new titles.


Body shot 3does lessdamage then body shot 2,all of our point blank attacks are useless, pistol whip 2 has always been useless and pistol whip 1 is pointless now with the KD nerf, Neither of our diaraming shots work, Multi target shot is ineffective, and dodge doesn't work at all.--These are our main problems, i can't imagine it taking the devs much more then a few minutes to sit down and figure out how there gonna fix all this. After they do that, it shouldn't take a few devs more then a few days to put all these MINOR but CRUCIAL fixes in place.


I guess the worst part about it all is that the devs aren't doing anywork on any of these things right now. It's noteven like they're working on it, or it'll be all fixed in the next patch, or it'll beon the test center in 2 weeks, or anything.Theyhaven't even hardly acknowledged that these problems exist,so it could be months and months beforepistoleer isn't a uselesselite class.


If all this stuff isn't fixed by the next major patch, i give up, i'm canceling my subscription.

Don't whine my ass. You better believe we're going to whine, that's the only way things get fixed in this game. If we don't say anything then these devs won't get the message that we are totally gimped.



Kipup shot more DPS than fanshot? I believe it. Marksman is more effective than our Pistoleer skills. Sounds like SWG alright.




"BH's were nerfed hardfrom the beginning."



LOL!!



Sure. At least you had the pistol tree, which is unbeatable due to eye shot. Us pistoleers don't even have a pistol tree worth anything.

I don't have a problem with BH's and commandos being really powerful. I just think that they're a tad overpowered atm. My main thing is I would like all the skill in my prof to work as well. Everyone thought pistoleer was overpowered but since our speed enhacnment becomesworthless as there's a cap on speed at 1.0, we really get gimped in the end game.

If they removed that or made all shots across the board, slower, plus make our specials work correctly, I would be very content.

If a BH connects with one pistol shot you as good as dead unless you can run away far enough out of range to recover from dizzy.


BH Speed and accuacy is much better then a person that mastered the use of ONE weapon not 3 weapons.


I do understand a BH pays the price with spending 212 ? points to get master though but BH have 3 weapons and if a person chooses a single weapon that should be more powerful with only that weapon then a class with a option to use 3 different weapons all better then any other masters.

I feel your guys pain. I was Master TKA brawler and CH. Now because of nerfs I've dropped CH lets face it 70cl of pets is not worth the 60+ skill points and my twin melee mastery is in effect according to SoE worthless so dropped CH and went Pistoleer and now They're getting nerfed too. It seems like whatever profession I play gets nerfed


I'm also going smuggler so watch out smugglers might get hit next

Im 0042 I just use stopping shot for lairs to save my weapon condition. It does more damage than fan shot, but has a big delay. Sometimes I use it to kill a blue mob. Pretty useless. Maybe its better for masters?

really? thats interesting, I had no idea. I just assumed it did because I saw someone telling people whining about flame throwers to wear armor w/ flame resistance. then perhaps a solution would be to add lightning resists to armor instead of nerfing the weapon to the point where it sucks again?
