I'm still relatively new to pistoleer. I'm currently 0142, along with 4404 combat medic and 2000 doc so I can heal poison. Thinking about just mastering cm and Pistoleer straight up though. Anyway my question is. Playing with my friend who is a master BH I have run a few "looting" missions as in places you can go to get loot. Anyway I have some weapons that I think are pretty good around 2 speed and up to 230 240 max dmg. Anyway when I'm doing these missions or any other missions for that fact I just don't feel like I can do any significant damage to anything. I currently have a FWG5, a DX acid or whatever it is and an energy pistol. I also try to switch the weapons based on what defenses my mobs have. Either way I still don't feel like i'm doing any damage. Being a pistoleer I thought that maybe pistoleer would have a speed bonus that would help as in even though I have weaker attacks i may get 2 or 3 attacks in for a more powerful weapons 1 or 2 attacks. Thus 2 attacks at 1500 for 3000 in the time a stronger weapon may have an attack of 3500 or so.
Basically i just feel like i"m getting no damage on things with pistoleer and I'm just wondering if this is b/c I have weak guns, or I just need to improve a lot more in pistoleer. Looking at the skills I still have to learn i don't see anything that has to do with improved power and since I already have fan shot which is supposed to be the best special I am just wondering what I need to do to increase power.
Sorry for the wordiness of my post, but I'm sure u guys know what I"m talking about, and thanks for the help.

I think I know what you're talking about...
Currently pistoleer is outclassed by every ranged professions because we don't get a significant speed bonus over other ranged professions (Rifleman gets more speed than us). We also don't have the ability to do a good amount of damage to a MOB with medium or heavy armor because we don't have a weapon that has more than light armor piercing. Hopefully some of our problems will be fixed with the combat balance though.

Yes, I noticed quite a difference after I got master pistoleer to damage. Then I noticed even more when I got a Geo Blaster and sliced it :-D

Yeah that's pretty much what I thought. I figured we would havea speed bonus over other ranged professions and have slightly weaker attacks. I also figured I just need to get some more powerful weapons. Also thought that leveling up would help increase damage a lilbit.Thanks for the help guys.
