Thread: Pistoleer State of the Profession Report (11/6/03)
Since Im at work I havent had time to really read everything and see what the EXACT state of this profession is but I have to say this. Im pretty disapointed in the profession right now. We should be better than we are...
I have a full set ofgood pistols with good stats. Many times while hunting with my guild, I am outperformed by a rifleman in our group while we are both at pointblank range. hes doin TONS more damage than I am. Id expect that from a further range but point blank? Come on! I examine the target, I use the weapons they are vulnerable to but Im not doingnear as much damage to the target. I use the only DoT I have (healthshot1 since healthshot2 doesnt seem to do anything), and pretty much spam fan shot and the occasional pistolmelee1 to MAYBE knock them down (pistolmelee2 doesnt ever work). All the other shots dont do anything. Stopping shot does good damage but rarely actually stops them (maybe im laggin and dont see it I dunno).. I think as a whole the pistoleer profession is out of balance and is underpowered.
Im a master doctor and master pistoleer. Im wondering if I should have done tka instead, or maybe something else besides pistoleer. It just seems so weak compared to other master professions.. Am I missing something? Am I doin somethin wrong? Whats the deal!!!!!??????
Hi,
this report is dated 11/6/03, are there any changes now in feb 2004? or is it still broken? I'm new to swg...buildingskills for smuggler/pistol.. should I switch to another elite?
How far did you get on Pistoleer before you started picking up on Smuggler? Just wanted to know so I can have an idea on what to do. You see, I'm just starting out on Pistoleer. Thanks in advance.
Well man i just think it is a big shame you have to spend your playing time in doing this concist analisis of the profesion. I know that you as all of us have other things to do and the paying time is extemly cherish.... And the worst thing is that i really doubt the devs even look at this........... why is if you do that cheffs creature handlers, now droid designers and then who knows what are giveng first priority...... our profesion is brokeb sice the beguining... and seriously broken........ i love pvp and while a rifleman can kill me in 2 shots with strafe2 i have to shoot 3 times befor hiting him once with my specials....... is just ridiculous......... and what about the fancy armors everybody is using now.... we dont have a chance to penetrate them.... the tangle pistol is so bad that it barely hurts them... the republic that has pircing and Dx... same resoult.... is just ridicoulos...
The worst thing is that if they do read this they should have schedueled a FIX of the profesion at some time........
DEVS: DO YOU EVER READ THE FORUMS??????????????????????????
After doing 100 msns it gets absolutly boring...... pvp was the only funn for me.......... but the unbalances are so dam big that makes me mad.......
CMON....... SERIOUSLY............ DO YOU READ THIS OR THIS GUY JUST LOST HIS PLAYING TIME FOR NOTING............ ARE $15 A MOTH NOT ENOUGTH YOU MAKE YOU RICH AND CARE ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINS??????????
You have every where posted things about SWG winign prices for best game ans stuff......... well thats for the people that only play it for a few months and dont realice the huge HUGE HUGE problems this game has......
Im so damn tired of great unbalances in profesions... the horrible desing in armor vs dmg........
Man your post was great but i think it was for nothing....... They dont really check this......... They are to busy making money for the big company....... Doing only the revamps that call the most atention and not really the most fair needed ones........
bah.... i was playing this game to much anyway....... im kinda glad it sucks so much......
PVP= horrible horrible design......... horrible!!!!!!!!!

Theonly changes are that:
- The DX2 had its ideal range accuracy improved in a big way;
- Dodge now works, and works very well; and
- Fan Shot works like it had previous to being broken on Test Center, as an AOE shot doing 4x damage.
Other than that, Pistoleer is just as broken as it was since Fall 2003. Pretty sad, really. Let's hope the combat rebalance means that the specials that have been broken since launch finally start working. Hey, it's only been, what, the better part of a year?
