Bounty Hunter here with a WONDERFUL solution to EYESHOT.


Take our EYESHOT away and give it to PISTOLEERS.


BUT... BUT... you should also have to MASTER ( 77 Skill Points ) SCOUTING!


AND


you should have to spend ( 28 skill points on Marksman Rifle and Carbine Skills )


ROFL.


Oh wait... if you said "ok I would gladly do it" then you might as well admit you are a BH in a Pistoleers body.


Spend a couple days/weeks ( whatever ) and become a BH. You want what we have but you DO have to spend TONS of skill points to get it... sorry.


P.S. If the rumors are true about Eyeshot being moved to Master Bounty Hunter then we will have spent...


77 Points on Master Scout ( I'll make camps and examine your creature to death )


28 Points on Marksman Rifle and Carbine Skills ( SWEET ROFL )


14 Points on Investigation ( I'll make cash OWNING stupid npcs all day long )


14 Points on BH Carbine Skills ( I will shot you with my pistol then use my carbine when the range is right... oh wait.. to much thinking.. I'm dead )


14 Points on LLC Skills ( Same problems stated with Carbine Skills )


GRAND TOTAL of USELESS SKILLS to get EYESHOT= 133



Use a character builder on the web and play around with 133 skill points and tell me Eyeshot is overpowered.




Ishpur's Profile ( To clear up any untrue slander that may slip on by ) UNPOPULAR VIEWS I HOLD. Eyeshot should not got to Master, it should stay at BH Pistol 2 and not be changed. Player Bounties should remain in Investigation 3. The BH Forum should focus their rants more toward gaining new PvP abilities for both MBH and non-MBHs. FIRST ACCOUNT: BH Pistol Line, Pistoleer 0,0,0,2 not going any higher, Squad Leader 0,0,0,4, TKA 0,3,0,4 SECOND ACCOUNT: Working on Master RIfleman, TKA 4,3,0,4, Fencer 4,4,0,0, Pikeman 0,0,4,0.

This argument is getting old.. points points points.. I spent 133 points so wha!. Hmm ok fine.. Developers I would like you to raise the pistoleer requirements to use all of our skill points to master pistoleer, so we cant dabble.. and in that master's box I want you to put in a pistol skill called death shot. One hit shot that takes 10k damage and can only be used once every 5 sec. Then when people say "Wait! a minute" thats just too powerful.. HA! got you.. I can have it because I spent all my skill points to get it! (insert evil laugh).You have earned nothing. You wanted to be a BH. most BH wanted to be that before they even knew what eye shot was. lol people and their mindless justification..

Eye shot wont be that wonderful when they add healing for mind and buffs for mind that are long term.


The only real "overpowering" thing about this is not eye shot. It is the ability to shoot any move and any weapon at 1 shot a second.


100% speed reduction is a stupid design.


They need to cut the benefit of +1 speed in half so that you cannot get 100% speed reduction.

Since skill points seems to be a constant topic of conversation especially between pistoleers and bounty hunters why dont you clear up how many points bounty hunter spend in actual combat oriented skills and also how many points bounty hunters spend in pistols that gives them the ability to target an unhealable pool that people that SPECIALIZE in pistols can not use.

So only combat skills count? All the other skills BHs are "REQUIRED" to get before they get to novice BH don't count. A BH can't just get the pistol line in marksmen, can't just get Master Marksman, they MUST get Master Marksman AND Master Scout, before the get Novice BH, then the have to get BH Pistol 2. So if you want eye shot, you need to get BH pistol 2, should pistoleers get a mind shot? Sure as long as they spend as many skills points as a BH is REQUIRED to. Remember XP requirements are nothing, because anyone can get them, Skill Points are EVERYTHING because they are finite, only 250 thats it.

Not only do BH do a high amount of dammage but they do that dammage to a pool that cannot be healed or buffed like the other pools.

Teras Kasi does quicker mind damage than any ranged profession is capable of doing. Similar to the bounty hunter there is no significant depletion of the user's mind pool as is with rifleman. A sufficiently high skilled Teras Kasi will do roughly 400-500 damage per second to your mind pool in PvP. This is roughly twice the rate that a bounty hunter pistol/master pistoleer is able to crank out.


The Teras Kasi spends about half as many points to get this. The only challenge is how to get close. But then that's what a ranged knockdown is good for.


A pistoleer/smuggler dirty fighting dabbler/teras kasi will actually spend less points and will beat the Eye Shotter at their own game each and every time.

Pardon me, you don't even need pistoleer. Low blow. Rush in. Spam the head hit.


(Novice Teras Kasi are +100 unarm speed. Then they get even faster.)
