Becuase I like being a Pistoleer. I don't have enough skill points to do many Combat Professions, being a Master DE which needs Master Artisan.

We have more choices inBlasters than the other combat classes. (With the exception of the Hybrid Profs). And most of all I like refering to my weapon as a Blaster.

I'm not going to chase the flavor of the month professions around just to be able to compete in PvP......any PvP system like that is severely flawed in the first place and not worth my time. Pistoleer lives up to what I am looking for from a Star Wars RPG experience and I don't care what the Jones in the next profession over are doing as long as I get some fun out this profession.

It just seems wrong that the only reason most people are pistoleers is because they like how it looks or because it complements BH or Smuggler well. I'm not criticising those that have posted those reasons but shouldn't we be able to say " I like pistoleer because I can do this better than anybody". Quite frankly, it doesn't seem like we are the best at anything. BH and Smugglers have the best pistol specials. Riflemen and Carbines can fire just as fast while doing more damage. I believe that Fencers even dodge more.

Just about everyone on this forum is Pistoleer plus BH or Smuggler. I don't have a problem with that in fact I'll probably be taking up the Dirty Fighting line myself soon.

But... of the DF line, Feign doesn't work anymore and Panic Shot is Probably getting the warcry nerf. so you have a ranged KD, Low Blow, which is about as good as PMD1, and Last Ditch, which you can shoot 2 of in the time it takes to shoot 3 fanshots for about the same damage.

But the fact that you have to have those skills to be effective is ridiculous. Master Pistoleer is supposed to be a Elite combat profession and costs just as much as the other elite combat professions to learn. Yet we seem to be lacking compared to the others.

I know that the combat rebalance is coming out in a month or two but after playing this profession for so long I felt the need to say something. I would still like to here from my fellow Pistoleers on why they are in this profession.

Not a month or 2. try7-9months....

DE invasion patch 1 of 2: Mid March

DE invasion patch 2 of 2: Mid May

Jedi Quest patch, possibly the eariest publish for part 2 of the combat revamp (weapons): Mid July

Combat Revamp part 3, HAM changes: Mid September

Combat Revamp part 4, Profession Fixes: Mid November

Assuming that the changes for the professions aren't trickled out over the next 6 months (like the carbineer changes). TH said they were going to do it in defined sections, if I remember correctly. It's also assuming that they don't piggyback the changes for combat in publish 8 (besides the normal aggrivating nerfs that come out). It's further assuming that there aren't any profession revamps outside of what's listed; there's a big rumor going around that smuggler is getting a revamp as well. Being a diehard smuggler, I don't know if this is true. it's been ages since we got any positive attention.

One of the most cool things I can imagine for pistoleers is a fix for disarming shot: imagine if you could actually disarm your opponent with a shot... that would be cool!

Well of course I know there are most important things to fix in your profession, but a fix for disarming shot would be really great. Maybe the effect could be a delay, or maybe the target could just get unarmed and need to re-equip his weapon, I don't know. A dmg to the gun wouldn't be fair and would be called griefing (imagine if you manage to break a 5 millions Krayt or super loot gun..).

Because I'm sick of grinding out another Profession just so I can PVP.

My options are either to grind Rifleman/Fencer or stick with Pistoleer and refuse to PVP.

I chose not to PVP since I have no chance of winning.

When thinking about my character, my first profession was to be a Musician as I was thinking of a kind of bard and because my bards are never realy resiliant, I ended up looking at ranged rather then melee professions. Went for pistoleer, as combat feels a bit stylish and just felt right.

Formerly:
Pedr-Dwl Wibble - Gunslinging tracker for hire on Farstar - Staff Cpl, Imperial auxillary
Elisa von-Smolloff - Pyromaniac bird of Infinity - Cpl, Rebel special forces
Now gone.
Doesn't see the point of a bile-venting "I'm leaving" thread.
