Thread: Is Pistoleer alone a viable profession? No? I beg to differ

Range accuracy by weapon and distance to target is something I would like a number set on. Its kinda wrong if a rifleman gets the same accuracy at 0m when their supposed to be long range combatants.
I agree with you... If range modifiers are indeed working as intended now,it should be further adjusted,rifles are still very accurate at pistol range.

I dont get it either.
I can dump out my action bar at one shot per second and out-damage riflemen and jedi.
I can solo any melee mob in the game given enough space to run around in.
I look cool because everyone else has a rifle at 64m and I run around 20m away from Ancient Krayts.
I have Pistoleer and my elite medic lines and I do fine.
There you have it. You are NOT a pistoleer only toon.
The question is, "Is Pistoleer only (cl54) a viable proffesion".
The answer is, Yes, for hunting up to cl 56 and lower and in PVP with similar numbers.
Is pistoleer a viable proffession against a CL 80 anything? Hell NO.
Yup, as I understood it, the question is:
"Is Pistoleer a viable profession if you dump your remaining skillpoints into a 'support' profession?"
I say yes it is. The amount of damage we can do at close range with the right gun, powerups and buffs is very nice indeed.
But, to go back to the arguement that a cl54 PIstoleer with no other skills would be useless against a cl80 anything, you can group with a CL80 playerand then you will be CL80 too and you can use chef buffs to boost your defences and accuracy.
I have to do this all the time because my FS skills bump me down to cl75.
