Thread: Status of Pistoleer Specials
publish 7 was not supposed to give us anything...... that seems to be the common misconception
i'm *hoping* that publish 8 will give us something, but i'm not betting on it...
i never thought pistoleer was broken till i had to start playin it for holo. this a weak profession in terms of fun.
It would be nice if Disarming Shot 2 would unequip the weapon they are using, effectively knocking the weapon out the opponents hands. Thats what I think of when I think of "disarming" someone....Doesnt necessarily have toinflict damage, although it would be nice if it did damage to the weapon, since you effectively SHOOTING that weapon. If it actually worked that way, it could be a low percentage hit special, somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40 percent chance of hitting.
Too far out there?
Ask any military or LE person what a "double tap" is....it is when you shoot a target in the chest to put them down, and then in the head to keep them down. So how about changing this special so that half the damage goes to Health, and the other half to Mind?

Double Tap: Technically works, but is inferior to the random HAM Marksman special Kip Up Shot untilthe player isa Master Pistoleer with a 2.0 speed pistol. Even then, you get better DPS with Fan Shot. (Fix: have it target 2 HAM pools at random, but have it divide the damage between the 2 targeted pools.[giving it the potential to land on the same pool twice] Increase the damage mutliplier to 3.0 [from 2.8].)

Ok while grinding my way to jedi I went through pistoler and despite the large shaft protruding out of my bumm while i was running around as a pistoler I came to love the class ..... As a pistoler I always got my bumm handed to me in pvp unless it was with a melee profession and then I just kited them .... Rifleman always seemed to tear me a new one and I can never seem to even hit them but the can chew through me in no time flat ........ I finished pistoler and smuggler a little while ago and I noticed one big thing ..... when I pvp'd with my character and he went bounty hunter I creamed a rifleman so fast even with my gimped defence. I immediatly thought it was bounty hunter so I wrote it off....... While reading the numbers I found out one IMPORTANT THING
++++PISTOL ACCURACY++++105 with master marksman and pistoler 60 with master marksman and 45 with master pistoler............... while on the other hand ......................

hi, question about a couple pistoleer specials as of april 1st. i've noticed that health shot 1 and 2 do VERY high initial damage now. in fact they regular do more damage than body shot 1 or 2. is this intended? as for the bleed, well i haven't checked how much the targets bleed for...
