Thread: Not even elite profession..why so powerful?
LOL I'm sorry but this just shows you havelittle knowledge of any of the 3 elite ranged professions.
Rifle has some of the most powerful specials in the game.

I'm pretty sure they increased the range of KD from 5m to 10m for TKA (or at least increaded it). So thatargument is useless now.
Like someone said without armor the pistol will be deadly. Buy armor idiots.
And that 2 shot Stopping Shot statement is amusing. Another exaggeration from a fool. gg next map.
HOWEVER, I DO think that pistoleers should be the most powerful pistol users. we dedicate an entire elite combat tree to pistols. No one spends anywhere near as many skill points in pistols as the pistoleer.
We should be best with pistols and the BH should be more powerful overall.
If a pistoleer can close range quickly and get in close and keep moving, they should have a good chance of defeating a BH. If they are unable to do this, they should get schooled...HARD.
Right now, a master BH is as good, in nearly all respect (arguably better) than a master pistoleer, with a pistol.
Body shot 3 has a lower DPS than BS2 (a marksman skill that smugglers and BH's have too) and marksman pistols are better than the only pistoleer pistol.
Almost all of our specials either don't work or work inproperly and we get screwed over by the speed cap issue...lets see...master rifleman shooting a T-21 every second or a master pistoleer shooting a FWG every second...gee... who's going to do more damage?
No status effect shots, no ranged knockdown, no armor piercing (the AP on DX2 is bugged), inefectual specials (the master pistoleer multi target shot is absolutely worthless), and we're completely screwed over by the speed cap.
So what exactly is your point? In the future, I think it would be advisable for you to do some research before you make innacurate and inflamatory comments about other peoples' proefessions.
I just want to have a decent pistoleer only weapon and functional specials. sheesh... I'm such a powergamer. =/

aye and even if they didn't...ANY pistoleer is a MORON for getting close to a TK... good grief. they have INSANE dps up close. I was out with a tk buddy of mine and as soon as he got to master I couldn't get any xp. his DPS was EASILY 4 times what mine was and I was only a little bit behind master at the time. Granted he has the limitation of needing to be up close but what do you expect? he's using his hands.. sheesh. ANY pistoleer getting that close to a TK is DEAD MEAT.
That's not a complaint by the way, it should be like that. I'm just pointing out the absurd flaw in your argument against the pistoleer knockdown...which. by the way is the only ranged profession that has to use a melee attack to get a knockdown in the first place. sheesh.
So you are saying pistoleers ARNT an elite profession? You are wrong.
You think a bounty hunter should be better then a pistoleer? They are. There is no doubt in this. The only time a pistoleer can kill a bounty hunter is when the pistoleer "dabbles". Sincei got master pistoleer i still only have a 50/50 chance against a bounty hunter. Since i got the dirty fighting tree with smuggler a pure bounty hunter is pretty much a 100% win. Pistoleer by itself is UNDERPOWERED. No states, no ranged knockdown and no delays. Only powerful attack is random HAM. I honestly see nothing powerful about the profession.
Wow man, your best thread ever, keep on the joke, we like it !
