You are a pistoleer because we rock!! Best state defenses of any ranged profession, least HAM cost for any ranged profession (well with my stat migration anyway and the right gun), hit the speed cap way before any other profession, the most damage type variety (too bad no AP2 but I can deal with out). While some specials are redundant (name one combat profession where their aren't many redundant specials), and you have to experiment with many to determine what the special actually does and one or two that are broke, the specials still rock (and before the insane armor and buffs pistoleers ruled PvP).
Pistoleer doesn't suck, it is the balance of all the professions. In a "solo" environment of PvP and PvE, it is easy to see why so many people think Pistoleers are ineffective, but I trust in time all things will be equalized and balanced. People just need to be patient, or try something else.
Of course everything above is just my opinion, and is exceptionally biased due to me being a pistoleer (started the crawl on launch day, mastered in august, remastered in November, remastered in May). Helps to also pick up acomplimenting profession with it. I found Commando/Pistoleer, Fencer/Pistoleer, Smuggler/Pistoleer, Ranger/Pistoleer, Creature Handler/Pistoleer, and Medic/Pistoleer all very fun to play. I did not enjoy Bounty hunter/Pistoleer combinations (I know I must be the only one). My favorite template of all time is Master Pistoleer, Master Fencer, TKA 4/0/0/4, Smuggler 0/0/3/0. That is one great template to go anywhere with.

I mastered it myself because it was my second holocron profession - then I kept it because I found it to be a lot more fun than commando was. I'd actually contemplated dropping it, but with BH pistols the DE-10 is a pretty nice weapon.

hey Metallica,,,,calm down big guy ok....not sure if you serious with all that babbling or not. Please tell me what qualifies as a "true pistoleer." IM just wondering since ive been master pistoleer since the begginning,,,and despite all of its problems ive refused to drop it. To compete with pistoleer you have to combine it with other proffessions.the point of my post was actually to poke a little fun at you pistoleer babies. We get a huge addition of a weapon (the de10) and these threads still just complain and complain..What other proffession has had weapons additions like the geo and de10. Answer:::NONE.Yes,,,our specials are broken ,,,bla bla bla. Live with it. But keep complaining guys,,,i dont doubt that you will continue to do so.

Tell me.
Why is it, in order to be "good" (laugh) at all, with a pistoller, you have to combine it with other profs?
A Swordsman or TKM straight, with no other skills, no combining, completely destroys the pistoller profession.. ?
It's quite obvious to anyone with some inteligence that the pistoller profession is broken.
SOE has their heads stuck up their ass, and we all know it.

I mastered pistoleer because of BOB MUNDEN.
Search yahoo for that name and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Of course I also mastered pistoleer because I like the profession in general. Didn't realize that it was mostly broken until well into it but I manage.
Master Pistoleer
Smuggler 0040
Doctor 4030
Lining up the cone to take out Mercs on Lok or even Nym Pirates results in a completed mission in like 20 seconds or so? Sometimes better sometimes longer. I target the lair (base) and spam fanshot. I do this when my goal is to simply mission for credits. Other times I get more creative and use some of the other working specials in pistoleer. Last Ditch and Low Blow are nice as well as Panic Shot, all from smuggler tree. I'm not at the speed cap yet though. Only about +78 with attachments. Damn CA and AA are expensive.
PVE im pretty happy with it so far. PVP is a little more frustrating but not so much as to give it all up and change my template.
I'd say stick with it.
