Pistoleer Archive

Granted that this game is less profession focused because of the ease and success of hybrids, but I'd love to know what the designers picture in their minds when they think about pistoleers.

Are we supposed to be some mixed up ranged/melee hybrid that's not good at either? Are we supposed to be this boring vanilla random damage dealer who basically has nothing to offer any hunting group that a newbie marksman can't already provide? Obviously, we're not crowd control. We're not tanks. We're not the damage dealers. What the heck are we supposed to be? We are no where near the best pistol users.

If I knew what their vision was for the pistoleer, maybe I could feel more hopeful and more secure with my decision to become a pistoleer. I've been so close to getting master pistoleer for the past two weeks, but the fact that I just KNEW that we were going to be screwed over badly made me hesitate about grinding the experience, and I'm rather glad I didn't do it now.

to be victim and several nerfs.

Role = Whiner

Bah! How can you say we're not good at range or melee. First, we aren't a melee profession, but we are very effective up close. More than ANY other ranged profession. Secondly, I hit with my pistol at 64m as often as a rifleman. I don't feel hardly any negative effect from being at a far range. Pistols are great, and if they every fix BS3 so that it is actually better than BS2, then we'll will be even better. BTW, carbineers have problems with leg shot 3 not being as good as leg shot 2, so we're not alone in that.

With what? our Marksman special? if so all you need is a marksmen skill for that, not pistoleer.

Yeah but Pistoleers can shoot faster, and are more accurate, and... and... well... yeah, but... **edit** batman
