I was thinking this a lot until I decided to do something about it, I bought a new DX2, got a 30% damage slice and a crate of min/max powerups.


I dontdoa lot of PvE, except stormies, but I do ok in PvP with pistoleer.


I only use the following moves :


Suppression

Health Shot 2

Fan Shot

PistolMeleeDefense1 (kd)

Stopping Shot

DisarmingShot 2 (for lairs/bases/structures, but I do tend to throw it into combat too as it is cone of fire like fan shot)


The lack of damage in general from pistols I make up for with Combat Medic, but I've found with a decent DX2 I can kill some players without relying on poisons at all.

You guys, pistoleer isn't as broken as you think. It has a few broken specials, and a bunch that are pointless, and two crumby skills in the master box. What about the profs withlittle defenses and no skills at master.


You know what's really funny? Pistoleers in this forum always talk about "Well at least I have Dirty Fighting so I can have specials that actually work, lol" while simultaneously the smugglers say "Good thing I have Master Pistoleer too, all those specials work."


The point is, everyone thinks they got the shaft. Profs that need improvement beg for it, those that want it beg for it, and uber profs like riflemen and TKAs just still want more stuff.

A) I have never, EVER EVER heard a smuggler say they were glad to have pistoleer because of the specials. Now, the mods, ok I could accept that, but trust me, any pistoleer worth his salt, who also has DF knows, theres only 2 possibly maybe 3 specials from the entire profession of pistoleer worth using.


B) We are as broken as we think, we really, REALLY are. I put us slightly above pikeman in terms of pure and utter suckage. Even carbineers with their new loving have now offically risen above us in terms of usefullness. in an unbuffed fight, we stand a chance, where both opponents are buffed, the other opponent is a rifleman, or carbiner, we just cant win, its programed in that we can not win. We REALLY ARE that broken. And to be honest, I'm giving this game untill publish 8, before I just plain quit. Tonight, in a raid on theed, the opposition, with 20 people, perhaps 21 ore 22, consisted of 17 rifleman. There were 2 pistoleers in teh group I was in, including myself, the other one gave up in frustration, we both basically got 3-4 shots off before we died, litterally before we hit the ground. If that dosent tell you something abuot the state of balance in this game, nothing will.


On that note, although its totaly off topic, I feel sorry for rifleman. instead of fixing a few things that do genuienly make them overpowered, like their accuracy plus speed, they will get hit so hard with the nerf bat they may momentarlly think they were a Ho who didnt pay their Pimp on time, and in full...
