I have resently picked up Pistoleer.I am First and Foremost a Squad Leader but Pistoleer I have found works VERY well with Squad Leader. Upon arriving at the forum I didn't see anything stated abut a problem I'm seeing and I wanted to know if this is in fact a bug or am I just not seeing it.

Question.... Does /meleepistoldefense2 work? I see defense 1 do the KD but I have not yet seen 2 do it?

Comment... I noticed upon my arrival here that many are screaming for a Fix. Now, I'm sure you have been wanting a fix but I can assure you that you are not alone. Squad Leaders are the most needed of revamp and it's on its way. And I really think they have already planned on fixing you as well. I'm sure it will all come with Combat Balance patch. Fixes to all combat profs will be here I'm sure.

My other comment is just for what you're asking... Pistols are the smallest gun...I don't think they should deal a lot of damage. They are FAST though. I for one am VERY pleased with Pistol. Grant it.. I"m a Support class but some profession were made to kill... others to support. I think pistoleer is a great supporting comabt prof.

But ... I know I am few in thinking this. I just assure you that the Combat Balance is coming and I'm sure all will be fixed then.

meleedef does more damage (from what ive seen) but it dont drop anyone. also it is nice to think pistols are fast. but ,compared to master rifleman, master carbinier and bh speed mods we are weak. as of now it seams all masters can reach the speed cap. so a master pistoleer at speed capand a master rifleman at speed cap.... if we do have the smallest gun then we should be the only ones who hit the 1.0 speed cap. yeah i know whine whine whine on my part. there just doesnt seem like everything is correct and balanced when a heavy smashing ap2 rifle does that kind of output at the same time frames as a cork gun. something does need mofiied. or simply give us a nice sweet thumper gun that shoots at 5.0 speed and has ap 2. i would go for that in a heart beat as then my speed cap would just make it as fast as some of those rifles

pmd2 is borked... does considerable damage but that's about it

also i agree, pistols should be a support profession, but currently the only real defenses we have going for us are various state defenses and the highest melee defense of ranged professions

our ranged defense is a joke, and our state defenses rarely work in pvp

i do agree that pistoleer is a more of a "support profession" but atm we don't live up that title....
hopefully with the combat balance our full potential will be realized

I don't believe the Devs view Pistoleer as a support profession. What they should do, IMO, is change speed caps. Simple stuff like Rifles @ 3, Carbines @ 2 and Pistols @ 1. This would go a long way in making all the professions more balanced with each other.

the devs are reworking speed caps and have stated that the speed is something that should have been VERY difficult to hit with normal crafted items..... with loot, dabbling, skill tapes/attachments, it would be very possible, however

the current state of the game doesn't support this however, and the speed equation will be fixed and reworked, and the new speed caps in place will also very hard to reach with normal weapons

Its broke! just like every other pistoleer move!!!
