Pistoleer Archive

I just wanted to stop in and say that no matter who has said what about which class, I'm really sorry to see that the Pistoleers are apprently the next to be hit by the dreaded nerfbat. Too many people screaming to nerf other people. I wish everyone would instead flood the boards saying how this or that other class (other than their own class) needs to be upgraded and improved. It would make for a much more enjoyable time reading the boards and a much more positive atmosphere around here. And who knows, maybe SoE would read it and agree and then upgrade someone instead of nerfing them!

Anyway, best of luck to you all. I hope you get some aweome improvements too!

Yeah, the only group of people who really did it right was the Commandos. They didn't cry nerf, they just asked the devs to fix thier profession, which might be happening sometime this year. Might.

I too don't believe in nerfing, especially when others just whine and cry on the forums because they got their butt handed to them in game.

All this nerfing will never stop and is really sad that it has to happen to Star Wars.

I hope they give you something really cool with disarmshot2 in place and makes mastering worth while for you. I know how not having any reason to Master your profession feels and it's pretty crapy.

Ha. The game will be so badly nerfed that the only real weapons will be our insults to each other...oh wait, forgot about the profanity filter.

I turned mine off

Speak for yourself. I'm happy to see Pistoleers finally brought into line. It's absurd that Pistoleers had a knockdown on Disarming Shot. It made no logical sense. So, now it's gone, cry a river. You're lucky it lasted as long as it did.

Having one profession with all the goodies so all other professions suck is not cool at all. And, if it takes nerfs to rectify that situation (as it did in this case) then so be it.

Nagorak we didn't get all the goodies. We don't have a headshot to speak of. That's a biggie. Idiot. Go back to your own stupid board fool.

Ha! I never got the attack. Gee you mean you had to master the WHOLE profession to get it? Hmm...seems that smugglars and BH get their knockdown without having to master the professtion. Food for thought.

I honeslty don't care since knockdowns on the whole need to be revised. There must be a viable defense against KD.

What nerf?

THere will be a viable defense Achilles. None of our defense modifiers are working, so it would have been nice to see what knockdown would really be like with high resists. But instead KD get's nerfed before the game is even working correctly. *Sigh*

The upcommng pistoleer nerf makes me laugh, I've always been a pistoleer and I can say without a doubt we are the gimpiest of all the ranged weapon classes. I used to get one shot killed by expert level rifle users even though I was well into pistoleer tree at the time. After the 75% patch it takes them 2 shots to kill me WOOHOOO! The one thing that made pistoleers slightly cool, and this was before the 75% patch, was using /stopping shot to one shot kill ppl in pvp. That was defenitly overpowered so as a whole I agreed with the 75% patch. What the patch did was render stopping shot useless though. It's refire time is way too long to be useful and since it hits a random pool, our chances of being succesful with it in pvp are slim. That's leaves us with pistol whip IF you can get in range and bodyshot2. Note that body shot3 currently does less damage over time then bodyshot2, yea, pistoleers need to be nerfed. So now that disarm2 no longer causes KD there really isn't ANY reason to go pistoleer unless your into looks ala holsters and twirly moves
