Hey I found this thread after checking Alakhazam.com. If you look at the update notes for July 14, there are a TON of pistoleer skill boxes with an update to them according to Alakhazam. The grips line, and I think stances too. I saw fanshot in there, double tap, stoppingshot and some others I think.


Rand, what gives? I'm thinking with the reports and the indications on Alakhazam, they did stealth fix us. Some at least. How accurate is Alakhazam? How can you find out "what" exactly was updated?

Hell people are posting BH/Pistol/Smug templates where Last Ditch is firing at the speed cap!






I am that template and suprisingly enough, yes, it does excessive amounts of damage while hitting the speed cap. That is just about the only shot I use in PvP also. I can hit people with full armor on with my geo for 300-600 per shot. I do alright in PvP. Pick up novice commando and go try using last ditch hitting the speed cap with a launcher pistol sliced for damage. Its just about 1.5k-4k damage per second. Most effective way to take down a turret I know from a distance.

I hopped on over to Allakhazam.com and checked it out. It appears they were updated like you say, but it all looks normal to me. Maybe they forgot to update the skill box descriptions after the defense buffing publish in Publish 4, and just now got around to it. We have defenses in all of the updated skill boxes, and they did nothing to the Marksmanship line, where we don't.


Sadly, there is no version history. They look normal now though, like they corrected an error.


To answer the other part to your question, Allakhazam is pretty accurate, but updates are sometimes slow or just get forgotten. They cover8 games. Theymay be a business with a very real cash flow, but 8 MMORPGs is a huge project to keep running.And they cover just about every minute detail. I don't know about any inside sources though. I know they had conceptual skill trees for JtL, but it was never confirmed if they were legitimate or simply made up. Even if they were real, by the time JtL comes out things will have changed so much the prediction would be mostly false.

The skill trees for JtL came from pictures people took at Fanfest. Dev's have already stated that these will probably be changed.
