I personally would like to know why some of our specials don't work, or are useless due to the amount of HAM they take. Master Pistoleer gives Disarming Shot II, which is as useless as Disarming shot I, and Multi-Target Pistol...which I believe doesn't even work. Also, pointblank area II only targets one creature. Fix our specials please! and make it so Master Pistoleer is a desirable box! Having two paltry/broken skills only for Master Pistoleer isn't the way to encourage them.

And what's the deal with Bodyshot3? That's a huge amount of HAM it takes. And Fanshot only targets one creature. Even though Fanshot is higher up on the tree than stopping shot, Stopping shot is like x6 or something while Fanshot is x4 and doesn't hit the multiple enemies it's supposed to. Therefore, a lower tree attack is actually much better than the highest skill in the tree.

Just another "Me Too!" post, I guess. I think it would be cool to have some new guns (which looks like it is coming, although they will be rares) and some cool moves and dual wield, but...

...please, please, PLEASE fix the specials. I've all but quit advancing in whatused tobe a fun profession, because of the sinking feeling I get when I obtain a new special after lusting after it for weeks, only to find it's just some random-HAM damage multiplier with a fancy name and bogus description.

...please address the speed issues. I've seen combat logs with other combat professions hitting the 1-second barrier, like Pistoleers can-- the difference being, their (non-enhanced) weapons do 2x+ thedamage ofthe best (non-enhanced) pistol.

I'd be more than happy if what we had right now just worked, and we could enhance it later.

Nope, no news yet. He doesn't seem tohave made any more answers since his initial 3, either. Nothing to really do but wait. He knows we would love an ETA, so if he had one to offer, we would already know it. I think Thunderheart learned the hard way about making promises. I remember his responses to the "State of the Profession" reports some time ago were well over a month later than he anticipated.

There isn't much we can do but be patient. I know these things seem so simple to us and they feel like they take an eternity, but he isn't kidding when he says there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that he has to attend to.

Posts like this are depressing for me. Profession communities like this largely contribute to the nerf wars which have plagued other online rpgs. Can't you ppl ever be satisfied? Master pistoleer is an extremely strong profession which leaves 158/250 skill points unused. On top of this it offers, by itself, good defenses (good dodge and state defenses), extremely strong offensive mods (accuracy while moving, primarily), and mediocre (but by no means substandard) specials. With 158 additional skill points to spare, a template with master pistoleer as its base could be one of the most formidable in the game.. but of course it is not strong enough right? Nerf everyone else's profession into oblivion and grant pistoleers additional speed, stronger weapons, the ability to target any ham bar, and the ability to double their dps by using TWO pistols at the same time. What a f'ing joke. I think you guys complaining that pistoleers are gimped just f'ing suck. Thx.

If you took the time to actually read our requests and ideas, you'd know that the nerfing of others is not what we're after. Any moaning or griping on these boards recently concerning any other profession has been to do with riflemen and an inability to hit them- this I'm told is a genuine bug and one that effects all professions, and will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

We don't want others nerfed, we just want our own specials to work and for the character of the profession to actually be in the game rather than just in our and the Dev's minds.
