"Lastly, on the last bit--near as we can tell, pistoleer is probably overpowered too."

It must be terrible living with such a hate filled, narrow minded perspective that you feel you need to come here and gloat on a comment such as this. Have you ever tried just enjoying the game rather than focussing on you pen.. envy?

Hey... Just being a reporter... Yes, Pistoleers are in need of balancing.. Yes its about time.. Just though you would like to know you were in the sights of the nerf bat owner. Look how fast the T21 nerf went in...

*gets popcorn*

Well thank you for telling us something we could have gone and read ourselves. Your pay check is in the mail.

Go ahead and nerf. All nerfing does is make you find another way to fight.

Like I'm afraid they'll suddenly make Master Pistoleer as weak as Bounty Hunter.

That'd be pretty hard to do.

Nerf away, see if I care. And your whining helps the nerfs so keep it up and get some cheese to go with it.

The latest round of Dev posts have stated over and over that red mobs should ALWAYS kill a player one on one (and then once Holo said 95% of the time the red should win) - regardless, being able to easily solo reds is not supposed to happen, and yet most classes can.

Based on that premise:

CHs are probably the most overpowered since with a good couple of pets they can easily solo 3 or 4 reds at once, maybe more, especially for lower level / easier reds.

After that Pistoleers, Carbineers, Smugglers, and BHs are overpowered.

To a lesser degree (against mobs at least), would also come riflemen.

And I guess DEs are over powered since they can make droids that let most combat classes solo reds (as if they couldn't already)... And by the same logic, BEs would definitely qualify.

And the same goes for Smugglers (spice) and Cooks because their goodies help enable red killing.

And I guess we should mention weaponsmiths and armorsmiths (even though most folks don't bother much with armor and kill reds fine without it).

And anyone who has a bleed attack and knows how to run away and come back later...

And ... and... heck - if you're not a tailor, you should probably expect to be nerfed somewhere down the road because it's going to take a lot of changes from the current system to stop people from soloing reds.

So I think it would be best if we all sat back, stopped trying to shoot each other in the back, and instead had some fun playing the game.

If everyone is overpowered, doesn't it just balance itself out?

And my thoughts on creature handlers. They SHOULD be able to take out a red mob because if they have a higher weapon class themselves, and have a buff mob in the equation, that's no different than a 2-man group. What's the big deal?

But its the pistoleers that made it an art form in shooting other professions in the back... Thus when they get nerfed to hell and back it will be known as....

-Poetic Justice-

Yeah BS3 still isnt as good as BS2... we need a nerf bad. Multi shot finally works... everything was fixed. Ohh Disarmshot2... dont liek the knockdown... come on, Pistoleers arent overpowered, just play the **edit** game and grow up. Whining about BH now, then change classes. Dont blame everyone else.

Heh, KenobiWan, how exactly did the Pistoleers get another profession nerfed?

I see a lot of BHs coming in here to blame us for them being nerfed, but the only nerf I'm aware of is the knockdown nerf which makes it impossible for them to complete their bounty missions as a nasty side-effect...so how is this our fault? I'm sure we all felt like crying out in unison to NERF OUR OWN PISTOL WHIP. So all the BHs coming in here to take out their frustrations on us, give it a rest. Knockdown is an across-the-board nerf, and everyone with a knockdown got hit by it (and it definitely needed a fix too), so get get your heads out of your asses, stop with the tunnel-vision and pointless finger-pointing.
