Pistoleer Archive

Well I'll tell you guys I was loving this game and loving my profesion until the nerf bat just fell on us and fell on us hard. No problems with all the changes they made because it is all for the better except for maybe the llc. Not sure why BH's get a heavy weapon. I was considering going commando and they were broken so I didn't. I then fell in love with creatures and went ch so I needed to decided on my elite combat to go with it so I chose pistol. Now I hear about all the stuff going on and the 1 shot kills in pvp coming back. Alot of our good skills don't work as much I think it's disenhartening when the most balanced and working profesion in the game gets a nerf. Being a creature handler and a pistoller getting hit with double nerfs is kinda rough. The CH issue is primarily the cl level and the lack of the baby spawns.

If we are pistollers and designed for close combat our dodge bonuses should be insane our pistols needs a serious fixing. i mean with everyone else doing close to thousands of damage we need to get out gun increased so that we can do more damage. I think 300-400 range would not be that bad of dmg.

I still have faith in the devs if this does not work out I think I'll be jumping profesions to something way more worth while then the 2 I currently use.

Yep, i've felt the exact pain you have as a pistoleer/ch, but i have been both for a very long time now and have seen the changes as they have come. I've grown bored of the game and of being what must be the most boring elite combat profession out there. Pistoleers just don't cut it, both smugglers and bounty hunters are better pistol users than the guys whose name denotes pistol usage!

we're beta4 testers. they aren't going to let all this crap last forever. I'm a master CH and 1/2 way to master pistols. Eventually, pistoleers will be the best close range gunfighters. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Hopefully the devs will soon realize that the BH's strenght should come from being pretty good at all thre of the normal ranged weapon types. NOT from being the best at all 3....which they kinda are right now.

I imagine will get dizzying shots, blinding shots, disarm shot should rock when it gets fixed, and when bodyshot 3 is fixed, we'll be on the right track.

Hang in there guys, they figured out how to make EQ work, they can do it with this game to. =)

what aboutstopping shot? what does that do? I've heard it's pretty good

anyway, don't whine, y'all will be fixed eventually. BH's were nerfed hardfrom the beginning. our LLC's did absolutely nothing and were a totally meaningless tree not to mention all the crap they've been doing to carb's since day one. now LLC's work, and commandos kick butt too. maybe they are doing too much damage at the moment, but I'm sure it will be balanced in time. and no, we aren't awesome at 3 weapons, are carb line is useless now. the changes to KD and dizzy have totally destroyed BH carb because our 3 specials are KD, KD + Dizzy, and Dizzy. so now we suck in carb, meh

everyone whined for the longest time how pistoleer was so overpowered, now BH's LLC's actually work and y'all are all pissed. remember, it's taken them some 2 months to get a weapon in our tree to work right. now that it works, you guys who chose pistoleer over BH are pissed. don't blame me for my weapon doing what it should have been doing from day one

I'm not sure what stopping shot does, I don't have it yet but I hope it's good. I don't think it is though because I was looking through the combat chat once after a PVP battle and I noticed I was hit 3 times with stopping shot as I was running away from a huge enemy group and yet I got away alive and never got "stopped" once.

Stopping shot is about 4 times normal dmg but about 4 times normal attack speed (**edit** long shot). Fanshot is about 3.5 times normal dmg and twice the attack speed, which makes Fanshot a way better shot. Not to mention with actual miss rate it is just pointless to use Stopping Shot.

Stopping Shot should at least KD the target or even stun it...but it doesn't, it just wastes our time hardly.

Fanshot is our only TRUE useful shot in the game right now with maybe Healthshots, which are likely to be nerfed soon


Be happy, you only wasted 90ish SP in your "elite" prof guys.

ah ah ah, the ***edit*** thing in the previous post was for "d a m n", sure it needs to be filtered :b

yeah, I'm real curious what Stopping Shot does. what kind of damage, status affects, and what that "stop" part actually does (stance change?)

btw, something I'd like to add...if you guys are pissed about the LLC, wear armor. wear armor with lightning protection. problem solved

oh thanks for the reply, didn't notice it

stopping shot and fan shot are both random HAM, correct?

Every armor has a vulnerability to lightning, even Advanced Composite.

really? thats interesting, I had no idea. I just assumed it did because I saw someone telling people whining about flame throwers to wear armor w/ flame resistance. then perhaps a solution would be to add lightning resists to armor instead of nerfing the weapon to the point where it sucks again?

I really dont think you would find a single person in here posting whines about the BH LLC. We just think pistoleer sucks (and its the gods honest truth). We have 2 working skills, one of which we get at novice!

Actually, instead of saying 2 working skills i should say 2 worthwhile skills, which are healthshot2 and fanshot.

Actually, I believe you will find that KipUp Shot from Marksman has greater DPS than FanShot. Try it and see.
