If you are not Master pistoleer and another proffession suck as Master Pistoleer/ Rouge or BH pistols then don't PVP. From the looks of your message and I just skimmed through it so I may be wrong you were not using a Genosian Sonic Blaster ... if you are not using that gun then don't PVP, any good pvp'er has armor with resists of 70% and up to anything you are using on him. The Genosian uses Stun and no one has more then 30% or maybe a little higher resust to that.

Not entirely true. As a master AS I just recently made a run of IMP PSG's that had 47% resists to stun. Along with my 36% stun resist comp that equals 83% resists to stun. That's not even including the 25% dam reduction because the armor was light armor. I had a pistoleer try and kill me and was getting results like 336 damage and total damage blocked was 307. Those shields make our profession totally useless in PvP now.

The Devs have to seriously improve our profession because we are getting laughed at right now.

I had a strange PVP occurence today. I was standing at Coronet starport waiting for the shuttle. I notice a red dot coming toward me. I don't realize, that i'm somehow still bugged overt. The red dot settles in next to me but doesn't attack. I figure it's just a graphic glitch at this point. Then the hammer starts swinging. Luckily i had my armor on, so i switchtomy Geo pistol and start running. Neither of us are buffed, but the swordsman wasn't wearing armor, so i was lucky. I'm running and firing eat a pixie and eventually incap her. I go for the DB, but she pops right back up, someone healed her. Crap, running again, By now someone asks to join me to help and i accept. But now he gets jumped by a TK master, so he's out. I manage to incap and finally DB the swordsman and then the person that was healing her. Then the TKM starts coming at me. Meanwhile, the shuttle had just landed, so I have to click my ticket on the toolbar to get away. It was a lot of spontaneous fun even though i had to run like a chicken from the TKM

Pistoleers with a high end geonosian pistol (450+ or higher damage powered up) and speed tapes will beat anyone without stun layered composite, assuming both players are unbuffed.

Targets with stunlayered composite, buffs,and a PSG are a major challenge for a buffed pistoleer, and if they have mind attacks or mind poison, they will wipe the floor with a buffed pistoleer.

That's why I'm waiting until the "combat rebalance" before I do any major PvP.

If u get a nice krayt pistol u can have a good chance to win a fight

You can make Pistoleer work 1on1, but it serves very useful as a support role in larger PVP battles.

No shame in that--don't most people run from TKMs (granted, some keep shooting while they're running)?

OK, dumbass noob question coming up ...

**edit** is Rouge, as in Master Pistoleer/Rouge. A few posts above said it, and I havent the faintest idea what they mean.

Thanks

funny, i do around 500 damage pvp against people, and around 1k if they are knockeddown

is that in your combat log window, or is that what pops above their head after armor reductions?

---

that would be what is above them. combat log says the same thing (unless they are wearing armor)

I here ya, But heres the thing... If you wanna be a good pistoleer you MUST dabble in either Smuggler or BH. The reason for this is only 2 pistole moves work and they are Pistole melee defence 1 and Fan shot. I am a good Master Pistoleer/Smuggler (iam also working for master fencer)but i know as a fact i wont win in a duel unless (fencer not included) i use my smuggler shots. I guess us Pistoleers are just gonna have to wait to the combat balance..../rolleyes /sigh


But i sugjest untill you get Bounty Hunter or smuggler shots just melee defence 1 then spam Fan Shot and/or Stoping shot

But good luck just try and get a good Geo with Mods or a High Max damage Geo ( I sugjest using an awsome power up) because everyone duels with armor now a days.

But good luck to ya
