Pistoleer Archive

It's funny now when I log on and see the update in progress screen I get worried and depressed. But then I log on and play and all of my fears are just.. Yes they did something to make the game less fun again.. Ok developers If you want to balance out the PVP game then leave the PVE (creatures) out of it. How do you think people get their XP.. Halfway through the pistoleer tree after the big Nerf patch last time, I found a way to stay in combat and be somewhat effective.. I built up my Medical to heal myself in combat and keep my action up.. No special moves worked like they should but they made sure they took off the right amount of HAM for use, if not more.. The only thing I had was knockdown, so I could slowly back away and take more shots.. still had to use stims to heal.. Now to my amazement I log on and start up a fight with a creature.. I read the post I see the 30 sec time.. But wow.. half my action is gone and I have yet to hit the creature once with KD pistol whip... I give up.. creature is attacking me still.. (creature is even match) creature takes a hit on me.. I see my health, Action and mind go down? Wait a minute.. I hit myself with a stim.. Takes more Mind now? it goes down even further.. Creature attacks Mind, Action, Health again.. I cant use another stim because my mind is almost gone.. One more hit from creature and Im out of mind.. I'm thinking this cant be it for all things right? Hmm move on to creature that is weaker than me, initiate attack and then peace to see results.. Creature attacks.. All ham hit.. creature attacks again.. All ham attack.. this goes on for a minute.. I get 1/4 away from incap.. I hit a stim shot C.. health action shoot back up, mind shoots down to incap level.. creatures next attack. incap mind again.. I did notice on not moving and non combat they increased the regen rate of mind and health. couldnt tell with action.. but Im not sure what is going on here.. Seems from the other pistoleers that play solo, they used stims also and now are unable to go toe to toe mutually matched creatures.. (take into account no creatures are evenly matched since they all have way more hitpoints than we do) Since my stopping shot does not stop, and my knockdown misses 75% of the time and is less effective im usually in a slug fest with a creature and pray that I hit for more points than he does and its a race to see who can empty the others random stat down, but now that they target all hams If I didnt use a CH pet I would not win against Dark blue opponents.. without using stims at which time I can only use one maybe two per fight and that usually makes it worse since my mind is not at the level my action and health are.. My god developers do you Hate pistoleers that much? I was wondering why on the forums one of the developers started a post asking my more people choose the pistoleer profession. Were you looking for some way to nerf it more? I would rather quit than go through the trouble of dropping all of pistoleer and going with something that works. I just want to say thanks for giving me a reason to play less if not all together.. You guys get the kudos award for fixing things that again were not broke and not fixing things that are broke.. Mental giants that you are..
