what exactly does disarming shot do right now?
I think it does extra damage against lairs and turrets, like structures.... why pistoleers have it, and not commandos is a real mystery

What states do pistoleers have anyways? None right? I'm not counting the stun or blind from BH or smuggler... Wth???
Poor damage, poor speed, next to zero armor piercing, no state attacks, ????????? This profession would be hard to sell if it were crack in New York City.

I will list all the state effects/special effects in the pistoleer class.
There is of couse Melee Pistol Defense 1 (MPD 1) which has a knockdown.
Please note that MPD 2 has no state effect.
Than there is health shot 1 & 2 which have a bleed, if you count bleeds.
This is the entire list.

The disarming of the weapon idea was one of 3 possibilities that was rejected.
That was before there was a timer on changing weapons during combat. The arguement was that people would just put their weapons in the toolbars (most do anyway) and re-equip it almost instantly. Now that there's a delay between changing weapons it's a whole new ball game.

That is a good point. With the equip timers in place it might just be viable to have disarm shot unequip weapons. I have an eerie feeling that fault will be found with this idea, but personally I think it would be useful. It would add something unique (hopefully) to pistoleer. I also hope the notes on the revamp become available soon as well. I guess only time will tell.

I think it should be a 5-6 sec delay shot, kinda like panic shot but isnt broken when the target gets damaged again.

I was thinking the same thing last night. I just acquired this skill and was not impressed the first timeI used it.

Just had this thought, how about stun attack. Not the stun state effect. But more of a holy crap they just hit my weapon! I am thinking the attack will cancel the opponents next turn. But since we don't want people to constantly spam disarm shot, have the attack cut in half the time delay for the pistoleers next attack, so it will have the same effect, only reversed.

I don't see why it isn't a viable idea. I place my main weapons on the toolbar and since switching equipment is now in the Queue you would need to clear it first, then equip, then start all over again. A timer on it much like KD. Or even counting KD defense against the effect of Disarming shot so Pistoleers don't go around shooting everyone's weapons. Make disarming area, cone, or more dmg, whatever...

Also another reason to have unequip (and timer) on it: unequiping a weapon (unless you are a TKA) will clear out any ranged or melee mitigation you have until you equip back the weapon, posibly giving it the KD effect of added damage. That would make a nice adition to the overall low damage that pistols have compared to other professions.
