Pistoleer Archive

All of the Pistoleer skill trees have been renamed and there are new titles.

Stances and Grips is now "Pistol Technics". Title for it is "Trickshot".

Marksmanship is still Marksmanship. Title is "Dead-Eye".

Pistol Special Abilities (combat xp line) is now "Pistol Stances". Title is "Quickdraw".

The remaining tree (Bodyshot 3 line) is not called "Pistol Grips". Title is "Gunslinger".

The Master title is "Master Gunfighter". Novice Title is "Novice Gunfighter".

they had to nerf the titles too

I like the new titles.

As long as they kept the "gunslinger" title, I could care less

Good names, especially Quickdraw for the speed line.

Hey!!! I'm a Dead-Eye! /sobuncontrollably

Yes, now SOE has "fixed" all or problems. Since there is no longer a Bodyshot3, how can we say it's broken? =P

SOE is making me cynical and MAC killed my inner child.

Well personally, I like the "Dead-Eye" title.

For completeness, here is the tree list:
Pistol Grips
I : Point Blank Hold
II : Dodge Hold
III : Two Handed Aim & Fire
IV : Rapid Trigger Work

Pistol Marksmanship
I : Wrist Stability
II : Firing on the Move
III : Fast Target
IV : Dead-Eye Aim

Pistol Techniques
I : Disarming Shot
II : Double Tap
III : Stopping Shot
IV : Fan Shot

Pistol Stances
I : Close Range Stability
II : Quick-Draw Posture
III : Firing from the Hip
IV : Advanced Coordination

None of the names or wording on the skills have changed (that I noticed). The skill mods also look the same.

Hm... as a pistoleer just starting out... this board has me discouraged. So far I have Novice and 2 boxes in Pistoleer (0, 1, 1, 0), yet I'm finding I'm not using any of the pistoleer skills for the reasons listed in the correspondents thread. Body Shot 2, Health Shot 2, and Warning Shot are my main attacks. Damage, bleed, scare. It's not enough to solo really tough creatures, but it sure helps in a fight.... problem is I learned all these doing pistol marksmanship.... I'm not even using the DX2 cert yet! (Actually, I'm waiting for a 'good' DX2, just haven't seen one yet).

Now I see there has been some effort to change the names, make some inappropriate modifications to skills, yet not fix skills that do not work? Very very strange...

Our skill mods, like dodge allegedly do work now. Plus, our accuracy while moving should be very nice considering the new penalties to hit and be hit while moving.
