Pistoleer Archive

Every board I have read has multiple threads like this one. Someone lost to another player who they thought they should beat, so they go to the boards and demand a nerf.

I don't PvP, I probably never will, so I really don't care how unbalanced the bounty hunters Panic Shot is, or if a novice Creature Handler can use a full grown Rancor. But if I did PvP I would hope that I would take my beatings like a man and not go whining on these boards when I lost.

How can you even begin to say that a pistol is not/can not be a melee weapon? You should just thank your lucky stars that they didn't put in Butt Strokes for the rifle/carbineer players.

I agree with you unlike a lot of these peeps who just like to dog out people for bringing up ideas because it might effect their character. Which is why I wish the beta boards were back and half of thesegreifers couldn't post.

I'm a pistoleer, but it doesn't seem right if a pistol whip can beat a full out brawler in mele. I mean come one. I hit you with a pistol while you fight back with a sword. Makes no sense.

Knockdown def needs to be fixed.

Your not a pistoleer your a **edit** Melee cry baby imposture coming here to cause problem like your other cry baby friend. If you where a Pistoleer you know how important Pistol whip is to use in combat you cry baby!

Please go back to your board and stop your crying don't come here with your little whine because your not skilled enough to beat a pistoleer.

Why do peep expect everything to be handed to them. Learn better tactics, please!

People have to chill and debate rather than complain.

The amount of combat XP that is required to get up to pistol whip is an ungodly 60000 above the Marksman Ranged.

The attacks there should be powerful. You may be a master brawler, but at Master Brawler you're 60000 Combat XP less experienced than I am. That's on average 600-1000 more kills than you.

Besides, I hit you in the head with my gun, odds are you may stumble or fall.

The people who have stated that maybe the knockdown resistance should be fixed vs. Nerfing the attack may have hit the nail right on the head.

And please people, if all you're going to do in a thread is call a guy a whiner or complain about his complaint, just don't bother replying. He brings up an issue, debate him, discuss it with him, don't crap on him. Have some maturity.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I have gathered, Pistolwhip has a 10m range (holding a pistol of course).

As a TKA, my unarmed knockdown has a range of 4m with VKs on and 6m with VKs off.

From what I have seen (one of my regular hunting partners uses pistol whip all the time), it does more damage and even at less HAM cost.

Basically, in all ways itoutshines its melee counterpart. Its absurd.

IMO, there should be no ranged knockdown attacks at all. Ranged knockdown attacks are overpowered (as they stand now). However, with the recent changes I have heard about on Test Center, if they are at 50% success rate, that will hurt melee more then ranged users.

for the record.

I like my melee class.

And yes pistoleers need a way to lvl easier. i.e Pistol Whip.

Maybe what needs to be done is a nerf to knockdown.

Didnt mean to stir up a buntch of **edit**.

Just a little upset that my melee guy cant beat a range guy up close is all.

Still, there is enough hostilities on the boards without needed to flame a guy who feels something may be broke.

Defend your point, no need to call the guy a fool. First time I was hit by a Rifleman I was ready to get on the Nerf the Mindshot bandwagon....but because I feel that way does not give anybody the right to call me a crybaby or a whiner...I'm stating an opinion. Respect and you will be Respected.

You make a good point I'm sorry if I was sounded alittle upset, you have tounderstand how many time I read other peep from otherProfession come in here to say Pistol whipneeds to be nerf.

First off.

You have to understand Pistol Whip take a long time to get. It not something someone get when they first become a Novice Pistoleer. To get it you need60000 COMBAT exp. (which we all know takes forever to get)

1. Pistol Whip will kill the life of your gun if you use it all the time.

2. It really a pistoleer only real defense against melee Creature and oppenents.

3. I heard people say that pistol whip cause to much damage. Ask yourself this guestion, willla Knock down with your fist or the grip of a gun cause more damage?
