Pistoleer Archive

Well, they nerfing the FWG5. To much damage. Understood fine, the AP0 weapon was overpowered.

Now, how about swinging the nerf stick towards the riflemen alittle? AP2 weapons with 800+ dmg? In all seriousness, an AP2 weapon with 700+ dmg?Insta kill much? Not to mention these guys fire at 1second or 1 1 /2 seconds just like pistoleers.

Heres a link with the riflemen boasting about their bigguns.http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=rifleman&message.id=23748

Keep in mind these are AP2 weapons.Not sure on the damage modifier on strafeshot2, but I'm sure it's insane. 1 or 1/2 second shots, AP2 800+ dmg weapons, AOE 1k+ dmg in pvp.. OH JOY! And only 92 skill points! Oh, and how can I forget, they going to get the ability to tank ranged now. 70 ranged defense I belive it was? lol-DP

let us compare

fwg5: 1 tissue

laser rifle: 6 tissues(5 for handlers,1 for crate i believe)

MANDALORIAN DUNGEONMASTER®

Homeshow Dec 15th: Imperial Star Destroyer: Bloodguard

Homeshow Mar 3rd: Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser: The Gauntlet

lol you want to compare?

Pistoleer:1 sec most specials at master.Not all

pistoleer:no working armor piercing weapons

pistoleer:no state effects

pistoleer:worst DPS (Cept pikemen I belive it is, poor guys)

pistoleer:no ranged KD

pistoleer:hits healable pools

pistoleer:many broken specials, many inefficient specials

Now to the riflemen...

riflemenne second specials.All of them I belive?

riflemen:AP 2 and 3 weapons

riflemen:state effect dizzy

riflemen:best DPS (not counting BH's with LLC and commandos)

riflemen: Bleeds that are 1 shot 1 kill.

riflemen: can target unhealabe pool

Honestly, my biggest gripe is speed. Riflemen should not be shooting at 1 second.Period. The devs said pistoleers are supposed to be "very fast", and in the combat proposal they threw around the thought of fixing the riflemen speed, and bringing it up to 3.0.

Why has our correspondent not try to push the changes of speed(the pistoleer specialty), I don't know. If they would fix speed, I wouldn't mind riflemen insta killing, if it was limited to every 3 seconds.

You guys are getting accuracy (as you should), but then again you guys are getting insane ammount of range defense.What are the devs thinking? 800+ dmg AP2 weapons at 1second, and the ability to tank gunfire?

Grossly overpowered? I belive so. -DP

Actually, the Laser Rifle only takes 3 handlers (4 total tissues required since one is needed for schematic). How about we compare now using accurate info for once?

FWG5: AP0 (damage is 50% against armored PCs targets and 25% against those smart enough to actually use PSGs.)

Laser Rifle: AP2 (just cut through armor and PSG to hit an unhealable pool)

Stop crying and go back to your own forum.
