Pistoleer Archive

I have to agree with some the comments made here, my main problem with our profession's role as crowd control is our inability to deal with an actual crowd. Against a single target I do OK, but trying to stop a crowd from beating on my group I'm hopeless at.

As pointed out in other threads our AOE attacks have issues in particular burst shot, and the other attacks I find that the timers on these means that I can't use them effectively against a crowd.

I also have problems with the targetting system, although that's more a game mechanic issue rather than something that is specific to Pistoleer. When TABbing through targets you end up targetting pretty much anything and very rarely what you want to target. Pass through targetting needs some work too.

What I feel we really need is the states to be fixed and defined. Then we can complain that ours suck. ATM I never really get the chance to use debuffs because of short duration. I just stick ot damage and mezz and roots.

well i find disarming shot to be great, i use it in conjuntion with kd to get that extra split second needed for everyone to get an extra attack, also with fan shot, burst shot, and spray shot i can keep an aoe attack going as fast as my pistol cooldown, i understand that stun is busted atm, and intimidate hardly ever sticks but when it does it makes a difference so im cool with that one too...lol been playin this game for a long time, guess right under two years, and have been pistoleer since i started (lol well i guess it took a while to get, lots of runnin)and i dont really have too many complaints, really i just have one question, does warning shopt actually do anything, i suppose i should test it myself but i always get different results, it is nice that it can stick while armor break is on. also i funtion pretty well as crowd control, lol i rip thru stims but i usually end up the tank, and reallly short of elite mobs such as necro and katarn there isnt too much i cant solo but in a group a pistoleer is almost a neccessity, it s hard to compete with the high dps.
