Actually _me I apologize...I meant to say that a lot of insecure paranoid (gamewise) people sure are posting.


This discussion has ended up being not about power or "fixing" the profession but profession equality (not balance) in which all other elite classes have access to ALL weapons of that class.


Hence if the Dev's believe the Scatter Pistol to be a pistol (and due to the fact that it gives pistol XP, uses pistol mods, and pistol specials they do in fact believe it is a pistol) that like all other elite professions in the game we should have access to it.


The fact that some people like it because the think it will be more powerful, like the sound, the shooting graphics, the looks, or just the idea of using it matters little. What does matter is that if it is a pistol then why is it at some point not a choice for a master pistoleer.

You are still all missing the point. Do this, find a master BH, that has at least novice pistoleer, so they can at least use the DX2. Then have them do their best special at something and see the damage. Then take a master pistoleer, with the same DX2 and hit the same thing.


Guarentee the BH does a lot more damage.



That is so wrong. DamagewiseStopping shotis much higher damage then any BH special. I can take down a high HAM mob down much faster with Stopping shot then either Torso or Eye shot even though Stopping shot hits random HAM.


As of Publish 7 Torso Shot lost most of its fire DoT and got no increased damage, so it is just run of the mill 3x damage special now.








all the dmg on BH pistol specials suck.


healthsot to is just as much dmg as torososhot.

_me you are really insecure. No one is asking for anyone's specials or anything that has not already been given to the other elite classes. The reason online discussions get so fouled up is because folks like you come along and cloud the issues with issues that have nothing to do with the subject of the discussion.



Tanks is right...Torso Shot is not what it used to be. That being said in PVE FanShot and Stopping Shot are the clear choices. In PVP the choice between Torso Shot and Stopping shot becomes much more difficult, though eyeshot is eyeshot is eyeshot.










Wow, youpicked up on my insecurity just from my post? You're so clever.


It'speople like the original poster that cloud the issues. Thinking that a gun can solve your problems is rediculous. Bounty Hunters have earned the scatter pistol just like Pistoleers have the DX2. I'm both and I can tell you that Idoabout the same amount of damage with both. It all boils down to people like the original poster that just wants what someone else has just because. If the DEVs start handing out everyone elses unique weapons then wouldn't the specials be next?

And Haun I cannot understand why your trolling hasnt gotten you banned yet...ah the mysteries of life.


And BH pistol specials do not suck. Please. BleedingShot might be a bit useless but Torso Shot and Eyeshot (especially eyeshot) are very good specials.


Wait...wait...oh I get it...I forgot certain bounty hunters think that they should have the most powerful pistol, carbineer, and heavy weapons specials....and some even think novice medic for free (that was such a joke and did so much damage to the BH community).


Maybe Tanks should add to our top 5 in the BH forums the elimination of all the whiney, ignorant, selfish, childish, "WEEPS" like followers (which Haun must be a charter member BH or not!) and in one swift move make the BH profession once again gain the reputation it deserves and stop being the mockery it has become.


The BH's strengths are simple...even for Haun...to understand. Multiple weapons skills and specials and the bounty missions (both player and NPC). Not the power of their specials nor the selectiveness of their weapons.We BH'shave great combo specials (not saying they all work as intended I am saying that they are in concept great ones) so please stop trying to pass off a blatant lie.

"The issue is that the availability of weapons should be equal across professions. There are two ways to accomplish this...one is take say the Laser Rifle and Laser Carbine away from their respected professions and move them to say Bounty Hunter only. Give the PowerHammer to the Commando only and the VibroAxe. For some reason give the VibroSword to Smugglers and let them have the VK at novice while TKA's have to wait until master. Does that sound good to you?"


LMAO! ...I think that one statement sums up the whole arguement I am also a BH/Pistoleer and I think Master Pistoleers SHOULD have the scatter, I have to agree on that one... for god sakes its in the NAME "Pistol"eer the only pistol I can see why we shouldn be able to use is the launcher pistol, I dont really like that gun anyway on top of my Republic Blaster is better its too friggen laggy... sure give the BHs Flamethrowers and **edit** but give US the friggen pitols, thats why we got the prof, even though I knew it wasnt fixed I got it anyway waiting for the fix....and im sure it will but this is something in the meant time that I think should be fixed...
