Pistoleer Archive

I am not planning on giving up on this profession. But I have noticed several changes recently that have me scratching my head.

I have just recently ran out of skill points and needed to surrender some. Since I never use the skill associated with the ranged support abilities tree I decided I would loose some of those. After I surrendered my skills I noticed that I was missing alot more then before. This was when I looked closer at the skill set and realized I lost some modifiers to my aim. But....

Before I even surrendered the skill points I noticed my to-hit modifier rarely went in to the positives and when it did it was only +13 or 15+. Even at near point blank and my ideal range for my weapon.

I am not sure when all the missing shots began but it was in the last week or so.

Actually it's not so great for us. Some professions can stand there incap me in a single hit in PvP (like one MindShot2 from a T21 -- a guaranteed Incap) while I have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off because it takes me 6-7 shots to kill anyone, and that's with a very high-end pistol. At best it's a mixed bag for pistoleers.

You guys ever consider becoming pikeman?

Done. *Steps back into the shadows waiting for an injured combat medic(Best combatant profession in SWG) to go AFK so I can say I killed a combat medic without 25+ mins of down time.-DP

LOL what the heck are you talking about? A rifleman with a T-21 islucky to do 400+ a shot to you in PvP, and then it's going to take him 8 seconds before he can fire again (in which time you can easily kill him).Unless you're one of those people running around with 300 mind (why?) you've got nothing to worry about. Most of the time Rifleman do less than 400, and oh yeah, each shot will drain about 150-200 from their Mind pool(and that's assuming they hit you at ALL... Riflemen miss quite a bit as long as you are 50m or closer to them).

Pistoleers and BHs are still more powerful in both PvE and PvP than any non-master Rifleman, plus about 5 times easier to master.. that's why I'veswitched toPistoleer. You guys really need to try another class before you complain about the 3rd best class in the game being broken (2 being Commando, 1 being BH)

I'll stick with pistoleer just on the assumption that something THIS broken has to get fixed eventually. The character concept I've come up with precludes her from ever becoming a bounty hunter, since one took out her dad. The concept pretty much was meant for her to be a sort of gunslinger. Though if the skill points are expanded later, I'll have her do the Rifleman line as well. I didn't do away with Ranged Support, myself. Me? I fragged my carbine skills. THAT'S a bounty hunter's weapon.

U r a dumb asz.

First u can't miss that much.

Second i was doing much more dmg way befor master.

Third, maybe u should have added a second skill , like ch or medic. Guess that would have required you to think though.

I have seen many a rancor eat bh for lunch.

Actually, I think the point was that our elite combat profession shouldn't HAVE to take another elite profession to actually do some damage. I'll never use a pet. And I'll never use a droid to do my fighting for me as a matter of principle. *I* do my own fighting. THIS was the combat profession I chose. I don't think it's asking too much that it work properly instead of getting referred to some 1337speaking d00d filled class that's only interested in how hard they can 0wnz something by having their rancor go in and do their fighting for em. If I wanted to be a creature handler, I'd have got a N64 and played freaking pokemon.
