Please correct me if I am incorrect but why is pistol the only base ranged/melee class that has no state effects? (i.e. dizzy/blind/stun/etc). This seems rahter odd.

I always tought that pistols should focus on state effects since they lack the power of other weapons... So I'm wondering the same thing as you

I mean we do less damage, have the same speed, HAM cost means nothing as 80% of people run around with full buffs. But d2mnit to h3ll, I'm gonna stick it out.

This is one of our top issues.. I've made it very, very clear to the developers that having only specials that deal damage (and no stateor other cool effects)will inevitably result in us spamming the 1 special that deals the most damage. It's really very simple.
How they choose to go about fixing it, of course, is another matter... lets hope some great info comes soon. The other correspondents and I are getting a little cranky over the lack of 2-way communication in regards to the upcoming publishes, especially when you consider how much is riding on them. Lets hope the developersstart talking before it hits Test Center.

^ No, I think 2 handed sweep does something, posture down I think. And all melee classes get some sort of state skill in their bralwer trees. And every novice bralwer even has lunge, a posture down effect, which becomes a knockdown at master. Carbineer's full of status, Riflemen have a few for some reason, we get vanilla damage shots. Hooray......

I don't think swordsman have any state effects.
Why would they need state effects anyway? They can deal great amount of damage... Pistol cannot. So if we can't deal good damage, don't have state of effect and riflemen are currently faster than us, what is our role then?...

you sir have no f uckin clue..........
normally i would have written a polite detailed explanation explaining why a pure pistoleer is probably the worst combat class in pvp or high end pve but after 10 months i have lost patience .
