Pistoleer Archive

what is this ranged knockdown pistoleers can do?

It is the title "Pistoleer" that seems to have you convinced that you should be the best at something. But that is all it is: a title. If you want the actual SKILLS to be the best at something, they are yours to have. Just spend the points. Take Master Pistoleer and the Bounty Hunter pistol line. It can be done. Then you'll have the fancy title and the skills to back it up. Simple. Or take the Smuggler pistol line to get a pistol ranged knockdown and maybe slice your own pistols while you areat it. Or take Teras Kasi to get even better defensive bonuses that stack with the ones granted by the Pistoleer line. Or take Doctor to be able to self buff and heal everything but your mind stats. Or take Chef to be able to self buff everything including your mind stats...

The list goes on and on.

I suggest not getting to hung up on titles and actually just make the character type you'd most enjoy from among the hundreds of skills available to you.

This is not Everquest or DAoC where you are limited to the class you picked at startup. And I'm sorry, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree that earning the title "Master Pistoleer" alone should make you, by default, the single "best" pistol-wielder in the game. If they just took the titles away, none of this would even be an issue. Just take the skills you want to be the type of character you want to be.

Zhin, Bounty Hunter and Pistoleer (Bria)

And yet somehow I have been dragged back into this discussion /sigh. Anyways... Simply because Bounty Hunters make the choice to become Bounty Hunters does not grant them the ability to say "Well, since we used all our skill points, we need to be able to use all weapons at least as good as their respective elite professions, and still have a wide range of scout abilities as well." As I said before that Pistoleers can't have their cake and eat it too, so too I shall say to the Bounty Hunters. No one forces them to spend all their skill points. Since they make that choice, however, they should not be rewarded for easily running up 2 starting skills trees (please, this takes a few days at worst) and then getting some other, fairly easy, pistol and carbine xp to be the best combatents in the galaxy. There should be some form of balance. Whether or not "titles" mean anything, I do not want to hear bounty hunters complain about their lack of diversity. They are very diverse when it comes to weapons, and extremely skilled as well. This is simply unbalanced. I don't have a problem with the skills, as much as I have a problem with their ability to use a pistol that a pistoleer cannot, and has equal to (or slightly better than) mods as a pistoleer or carbineer - accuracy and speed. If they want those mods, then they should be a pistoleer or carbineer, not a Bounty Hunter.
