Umm.. to all you saying how Pistoleer can suceed in PvP, well anything can when you have good weapons, armor and are buffed to high hell. The problem is you need to be significantly prepared for Pistoleer to work in PvP, and if you don't have BH, it isn't nearly as easy. Everyone does well when well prepared for PvP, but a master rifleman can buy a good T21 and some armor, get buffed and go. A Pistoleer, to be consitently effective, needs a really great pistol, most likely Geo, which go from anywhere from 100k-2mil, some of that 90% armor, good buffs, and if you really want to do well you have to get Doctor or BH. See the difference.

Any ole' armor, buff and t21 and a rifleman is quite prepared. Not the case with pistoleer.

Yes, we are. Yes, riflemen are faster. No, I can't explain it. Ask the Devs. And expect to hear the words "Combat rebalance"

Interesting take you have on that. I just gave up my pistoleer/rifle/tka4-0-0-3 Smuggler DF. I had awesome defenses and rifle. However I found I like pistols too much. It would be interesting to duel you with my new template.


Master Pistol


BH 0-0-3-0


Brawler


I have lots of skill tapes but still do not have close to your defenses. I end up with about 60 melee and 30 ranged with skill tapes but I have 105 dodge. I am a zabrak as well. Here is what I would do against you.


I would run in and intimidate. I would have a 40% stun shield with my 38% stun armor which is on Head, Chest and legs. It has a base of 70% acid. I would use a scatter or dx2 pistol targeting the mind. Your geo would be useless. I would use air cakes or the other dodge food and keep a nuetron pixie handy. After intimadate lands which I have about +25 on that due to a bandolier and AA. I would land it easily as my bro had resists up to 60 on it and I landed it every time on him. I would then proceed to eyeshot. I would cycle intimidate with eyeshot. So far I have never been kd more than 10 seconds. You are rigth intimidate is king against defense stackers and stun is awesome as well. However you lack a good punch to your offense. WIth my old template I lasted 10 minutes just standing toe to toe with a master fencer. I probably could not do that as well now.


I am sure you would intimdate and stun me back however with the lack of good offense, im not sure how it would go.. Maybe Im not thinking of everything but it seemed when my bro hit me with mind dots and all his high dollar weaps that he still took forever.I hit him with intimidate and stun cycled using last ditch and stillcould not inflictenough damage overall and he did not even havehis shield on. I used nothing but the geo pistol.A verynice one. 1.9 sec at about 260 damage. Im also not sure how kiting would work on you. Im assuming you would be impossible to hit even with BH accuracy so I would have to venture in for the intimidate. Did your friend do all of this?


It is very nice to see a successful pistoleer here. Good Job..!!!
