Pistoleer Archive

Well i have not read all these post, to be honest as it stands we have THE best non damage shots in the game, period.!., Now coupled with a bit of dabbling, i think pistol's will be deadly in the future, because as it stands we "can" control the pace of battle. Im MBH/MP dabble in carbs, and you have to think outside the normal box, and use all your specials. Ive done extremely well vs melee profs that i would have been fodder against on live. I think we do have a unique role, therefore exploit it. Now with that said, if they NERF root, then i think we have a big, repeat BIG problem.

My two cents,

Arxy, what are you getting for dabbling in carb? As my character stands now on live im M.Pistol, BH 2040, and smug 0040. After Corbantis went to TC I tested the respec and I can get M.Pistol and MBH. I dont have the required points to get anything else. I was thinking about getting back smug 0040 but im not sure if Feign Death is worth it. It takes pistol xp to go up that ladder but the bonus for def and stuff only relate to melee. I believe Ill have over 23 pts left to spend maybe more. I looked at M. Marksman but I dont see a real benefit there unless someone can tell me otherwise. Ive heard commando is good for the flame thrower and stopping shot combo.

Anyone have any other opinions?

Wow i'm still so confused... can someone help a relatively new player with some of the JARGON!

What is warcry?

A bugged move you could get from Novice Brawler that stopped your opponent from performing any action for 10 seconds... so you could kick them in for 10 seconds and they couldnt heal.

What is "warcry"?

In the new system warcy isn't quite so overpowered; and prevents attack for a short time.

What is AoE?

Area of Effect - Fan Shot and Burst Shot are examples of Cone AoE specials.

What is root?

The new Stopping shot makes your opponent stand still for 10 seconds or so, this is called "Rooted".

What is mezzer/mezz?

Comes from the term "Mesmeriser", in that you hypnotise your opponent... or in our case stick states on them.

Does cone mean multiple tagets?

Cone is the AoE of Fan Shot... in that it spreads out from a cone in front of you.

Pointblank area sure sucked pre-CU... are Burst shot and Fan shot better now?

Yes.

/cry no more healthshot2

Good riddance to bad specials.

Ok and lastly, I don't think i can master pistols, as I am trying to master BE and CH... if limited on skill boxes, what do you guys recommend focussing on post-CU?

You can get Novice Pistoleer with MBE and MCH. But that leaves no medic.
