I have a question about melee getting a bonus to hit ranged attackers. Do ranged attackers get a bonus to hit melee attackers?

If you say you need smugg dirty fighting for pve your wrong...If there isnt a melee guy in my group IM tanking. I am a 4/0/4/4 and while using 20% aricake/29% synth steak, muon and health/action buffs i take on just about anything. When those voritor hunters posture change me i just sit there. I love whatching the others in my group stare at me saying DODGE STACKER !!! even though im only pistoleer and grinding up to bh because nothing in pistoleer can take on a Master Rifleman.


Oh yeah, i did take on a group of rifleman last night though...a little help frommind poison of course got in some very lucky fanshots.. mind hitsat a210dam rangeeach nailed all three of them. That was the most luck ive had with pistoleer. I think that is the first and last time i can do that to a group of 3 master rifleman/cm's/doc's by myself !!!


What i'd like to see is a pistoleer delay shot and an upgraded posture change (if they are going to nerf us to a 40m range)...and Pistoleer being the most widely used prof ??? WOW...I thought it was only rifleman and tk's now. lol


p.s supression fire 1 DOES work in pvp and pve. When you get desperate when a tkm is 25m away what are you going to do /raisethem ???

Ok...my question is: What are the devs thinking?


If your goal is combat balance, and Tks are overpowered and pistoleers are underpowered, why make pistoleers *more* vulnerable.


Priorities are all screwed up there. I think the TK changes they mention make sense, but dont implement them BEFORE the pistoleer has the ability to defend themselves. You just widen the gap. Make the two closer, *then* implement the changes they mention for publish 7.


I am a combat medic/pistoleer....I am sick of getting the tar kicked out of me and worthless specials. ILL go somewhere where they actually fixed the damn profession.


I feel we are on the backburner. Devs can say whatever they want, but its all talk to me. I seen no real vision. I see no plan. All I see are hollow promises.


Those are dumb changes, are ill timed and poorly thought out.

just like to point out in pve all i needed was pistols 4 (doing quenkers like everyone else) tho yea i agree you need df to do decent in pvp. Still pistoleer looks so damn cool, an if the speed caps come into play itll also be a lot better (ie no more riflemen shooting as fast as 1 shot a second (nothing against rifleman))

Ah well I've been a Master Creature Handler for a long time now and am working hard at becomming Master Pistoleer. I'm getting used to waiting for things to work properly. People, you just need to go out and find things you can do. Do it well. Have fun. If thats not possible then jump professions like a lot of people seem to do. Oh wait... that's called Holo grinding.

You guys dont understand...


Carbineers robably have the worst defense mods and almost all of their skills were broke. I think that deserves special dev attention. But i do hope they o not become the new rifleman...
