i think dizzy/KD should drop you for only like 3-4 flops. . . . then ur up,.
Kinda like the delay effect on PMD2 that I suggested earlier?

The KD/Dizzy is really only a problem when you can never get up. If it was on a delay (10 sec timer) it would still be a powerful attack, just not so uberit isnt fair.
Exactly. It'd give us pistoleers enough time to get kiting distance away from a Melee/stacker, or just give us a few free shots (at 150% damage!) against anyone else.
The "drop and flop" ((C) LordMaxx, 2005) strategy is both cheap and lame in equal, brain-draining measures. I hope we Pistoleers are never turned into the ranged equivalent of TKM.

it would be AWESOME to have a KD / dizzy shot. suddenly, we pistoleers would be uber in pvp, and we wouldn't need to waste 50ish skill points for smuggler pistols tree.
Everyone who thinks that there should be a new KD / dizzy special inserted into the pistoleer skill tree, sign here
/sign
I doubt under the current system that we will ever be "uber."
Also its easy to stack up to 100-125 melee def if you are a temploter/melee stacker, so that kinda would cancel us out.

The Devs have said that Stun is no longer going to be the "ultimate" damage type in SWG Combat, so I expect we'll see need for the almighty Geno blaster reduced greatly in PvP and PvE.
Also, after the CURB there will be no such thing as Armor Piercing.
Also, the CURB will again limit the amount of armor people wear, as your "special pool" will be unbuffable, and that's what will be affected primarily by wearing armor. So I think we'll see more people without armor after the CURB. Armor will become a playstyle option, not a requirement.
All that to say, I for one don't think the Geno needs AP1 at all.

I'm trying to get the point across that people should stop proposing and suggesting things that will be fixed by the CURB. If the Geno blasters (or anything else related to our profession) still needs revision, it will be done in the Pistoleer Revamp. It's all been presented before. We've made our hopes and opinions clear a hundred times over. I just don't see the point of it right.
One man's opinion.

Preachin' to the choir, my friend.
To be brutally honest 90% of the threads being discussed now will likely be obsolete come the CURB, but then what would we talk about?

I don't know what we'd talk about.
Maybe when our profession is dead, the need for "Teh Four Pistoleer Trolls" will be diminished, and we will be able to go back to work, and actually play this game.

Pistols are overpowered enough as it is. Kd dizzy is just overkill. Give them dizzy and there isn't a status effect that pistols wouldn't have. You'd be able to Blind dizzy stun intimidate KD and a 64 m posture change. hehe kinda like rifflemen get right now.

Huh? No offense bub, but do you even know what profession you're talking about here?
Pistoleers can't stun.
Pistoleers can't blind.
Pistoleers can't intimidate.
And riflemen can't do the stuff you're talking about either. I recommend you reread your profession skillsets 'cause you're way misinformed.
