Thread: Ok im convinced
It's like taking that pill and realizing that the Matrix isn't real. 
Yes, we suck ... our specials are horrible random RAM crap with no state changes, and we deal out less damage at the same speed as carbine or rifle. So don't bother wasting more skill points advancing for now. 
After two long months of leveling to Master Pistoleer, I finally realized... Ignorance is bliss.

Well, BH's have more points overall in weapon skills...you guys just dip into one weapon skill. Pistoleers are not trained to hunt down people and kill them, you are just really good at shooting bottles off fences. Flame on!

More BH pap. Go peddle your snake oil elsewhere. We spend 415,000 combat xp on our class, more than you need to max your BH lines therefore WE have more experience in actual combat and should be better than you are. Blah blah blah, the wheel goes round and round.
Agreed BS3 is broken, I use BS2 and its not even pistoleer... and fanshot. That isnt so bad, even with random healthbar but most everything else is crud. Either:
A.) Change every Random Health Bar to target the HEALTH bar... as pistoleers are more inclined to damage health (Healthshots, Body shots...) or:
B.) Keep it random but add STAT EFFECTS!
C.) Target one pool AND add stat effects (option c will never happen)
Then you need to fix the defense bonuses which are broken and dodge bonuses. Oh and pointblanks are pointless... and disarm shots... need major fixing especially now the Disarm2 has no knockdown... which is fine but Pistoleers need FIXING not NERFING as many seem to say. But I trust Jaegen and the Devs realize all these issues they must listen to the moderator or there's no point...
I see your Schwartz is as big as mine... "
biwan:It's sad ... this forum is turning into a support group for depressed Master Pistoleers.
Not that we don't have reason to be upset ... it's going to suck after Disarm2 is nerfed. Sadly, based on Holo's post, I think another nerf is on the way. If there's another nerf I'll give them a week or so to change it back and then I'll start surrendering Pistoleer skills. There's no point in wasting all those skill points on a profession that won't work anytime soon.
Have you guys read all the dumbass posts on Holo's thread? Most people think we're OVERpowered, which makes me wonder whether we'll ever get fixed ... it seems like lots of people will level up Pistoleer even if it's 100% broken just because it looks cool or because it's the weapon their friend uses.
Well first of all, killing 4000 mobs isn't impossible.
I did most of my levelling on Endor, where I got a whole lot more than 1k per mob. You'll need to get off of the starter planets if you want to get more than 1k.

What the hell is there to hunt that will up you in Pistoleer tree faster than 1k per kill? That turns out to be about 4000 kills to master pistoleer, and thats impossible.
You don't necessarily have to get off the starter planets to get more than 1k per kill. I leveled a bit on Endor and Dathomir, but honestly, the best and most consistent hunting I found was on Tatooine.
Mountain Squills give 4k+ exp per kill when they're red, and 3600 when they turn yellow. If you can get difficulty 21 (I think) missions at least, you can get Mountain Squill missions. I did almost all of Pistoleer running Mountain Squill missions outside of Mos Eisley.
Mountain Squills don't baf (regular squills do), so you can take them one at a time. I would open with both bleeds, and then it got a pistol whip when it closed. After that it was standard attack followed by a pistol whip once in a while.
This is sure to change with the timers going in, but it just means having two of you with a knockdown fighting them instead of soloing. Might not be as much exp, but it's better than 1k per kill.
