Thread: **Do Pistoleers hae ANY good shots ?**
Hi all,
Been a pistoleer for a few weeks now, I think I'm currently at 1,1,3,1 but I was just wondering - do the pistoleers actually have any good shot ? - I mean, I have stopping shot - great damage, but it doesn't actually STOP anything, disarming shot does not disarm - the only good skill here is pistol whip - but you can only use it once before you get incapped on action. I do a little bit of PVP now and then, and constantly get hit with crippling shot, eye shot etc - these seem a lot more powerful then any of our pistol skills!
I mean, surely in close quarters we should have something good other than pistol whip, like some sort of ranged knockdown or something ? - I think all the other classes have them?
I hear disarming shot 2 has knockdown but it's going to be nerfed 
shame...
After the nerf, Pistoleer will have ZERO specials that are worth a darn. Just get pistolwhip (one box up from Novice) and then try another profession. If you like pistols, then go up the Bounty Hunter pistol line to get those +speed mods and eyeshot/torsoshot, then get the Smuggler Dirty Fighting line for low blow.
This profession is officially borked after the nerf. Don't bother unless you really love pistols and hope the Devs will fix it someday.
y'know, if people are really unhappy with a profession, they may de-nerf it in the future, or perhaps just nerf every other profession and bring it into line...
I don't have enough skills to take bounty hunter or smuggler (in fact, I'm currently dropping all my artisan skills to make master CH, almost there...
Although, I wish I'd taken rifleman now instead of pistoleer...
Most of our specials are broken, or will soon be. But remember, the change to DA2 isn't going live for at least another week. There is plenty of time in there for them to fix PBA2 (which could become very powerful), MTS, BS3, and to make DA1 and DA2 do something useful.
So start /bugging that all those moves are broken and maybe the upcoming patch won't be such a letdown...
Why would they fix when they can nerf?
Seriously, it seems they have no intention of listening to us. Disarm2 will become another random ham low damage special like the rest of the tree.
I forsee becoming a rifleman soon.

Hell I am going to suicide over and over just to destroy their gun out of spite. Its not like I can do any useful damage that cant be healed with a single stim.

Tested disarm 1 with a friend, he equipped a brand new CDEF rifle, i spamed him with disarming shots... 1000/1000 condition, its a completely useless skill. I have a feeling disarm2 will follow the trend, oh well, time to start towards rifleman.. Kinda sad how a guy with a rifle and some stims can beat a master pistoleer 9 of 10 times using marksman skills.. oh wait, thats cos our best moves are from the marksman tree..
