Pistoleer Archive

each move in the pistoleer like if done more than like 4 times in a row drains your action to nothing, making pistol whip cost 150?!! cmon, this skill was the only thing that alowed the pistoleers to solo tough enemies now now thing, please un nerf us, all the people in this game feel the same way

LOL you think you have it bad?

The pistoleer is BY FAR the best class in SWG. Try playing a broken BH, TKA, BE, DE, Commando, or basically everyother class in SWG.

And I do not think God's son will be adressing you nerf needs.

You could always try migrating some stat points so the drain isn't as harsh. If you've got medic skills and keep a supply of stimpacks in your inventory, you might consider taking your constitution and stamina down to minimum. Then you could beef up your mind pool and its secondary stats, so you'll be able to heal while in battle. I did this, and I never run out of action or health anymore, and my mind pool regenerates so quickly that I don't really have to worry about overusing stims, because by the time I need to do it again, I've already recharged.

On the other hand, if you don't use stims at all, you might as well take your focus and willpower down to minimum and use those points in your action stats. You could probably also spare a few points from your health pool. I've found that I almost nevery run out of health; if I ever get incapped or die, it's usually action and every so often mind. I already took my health down to 1000 from 1100, but I may take it down some more.

BTW, as a TKA master, I have a 900 ham cost to use knockdown across all 3 ham pools if I am wearing armour and v-knuckles.

I have been incapacitated by a baby cornelian butterfly after using knockdown on a normal butterfly

All the people in the game? I do not agree with you, so please only speak for yourself.

Each move in pistoleer? Stopping shot runs me 35, fanshot about 40, bodyshot3 33 points or so. My pistol whip is only about 89 to use. If you cant do 4 of those moves without losing a ton of action, then you need to check into buying some Tattoine Sunburn and get a good grip on stat migration.

Get rid of the higherHAM armor pieces you have on and try some tactics to learn how to kill without spamming pistol melee defence in order to get things dead. I rarely use the pistol whip unless I'm in a crunch with a red con humanoid, because its rather unreliable for the cost anyway. Its really not that hard to hang, especially if you invest about 15k in a top of the line gun, grab some good powerups in bulk, and pay attention to the resists and vulerabilities of your targets.

I've done fine, if not even more productive since the nerf, I'm still making great progress and I really do enjoy hunting more now since I dont just run up to an NPC or creature and spam knockdown.
