Pistoleer Archive

Hey SoontierFel, I completely agree w/ you on that It would be nice to have a wider range of specials. In fact, it would bea good startif our 2 Master specials worked, and they way they're supposed to! It would also be nice if we had a special that applied a state to a target, like most combat professions.

Ican always dream ofthe day if MTPS ever becomes a ranged KD....w/ a 360º spin move for animation

ha what would be really cool is if they ever give us dual weild and multitarget pistol shot would have a pretty nice damage modifier which would shoot two things at once using each of your guns.

Come on, if we could target any HAM pool, we'd go to the mind pool like everyone else in PvP.

One solution to balance thetargeted HAM issuethat should have been considered from the start is no self-heals while in combat, well, to be more general, no non-combat actions on yourself while in combat. No eating foods, no stim-packs, etc. We have Combat Medics in this game for a reason (and no, it's not to disease/poison everyone!!! ahhh!) They should be the ones healing OTHERS during combat. At least now there is the blue milk (I think that's the one) that heals mind damage, but even so, you eventually will get a full stomach with that stuff, but I don't know how quick as I don't know the filling on that drink.

Regardless, if no self-healing was allowed in combat, then the mind pool wouldn't be the preferred pool to target, there would be a bit more strategy (go for the lowest pool orgo for the pool that the opponent draws the most from for their specials.) I'm digressing though...

At the lowest level, our specials need to be fixed/modified so thereare a variety of moves that are worthwhile and we're not just a 2 or 3 trick pony at master. We should have at least 5 viable specials (one for each discipline and one at master) that we would use at Master depending on the situation. At least we do have the ability to use5 different damage types already, though only two with AP, and that's just AP1.

I really enjoy pvp'ing w/ my character. Yes there are stronger combat classes out there, but it's more about strategy and how you use your character's abilities that wins. It's alsoimportant to get the best set of pistols you can afford to handle different situations.

I agree I can win a very good percentage of duels and pvp encounters with straight master gunfighter. My point is that I would like pistoleer to be a profession where you don't have to spam a single special. Sure you're correct I can make the best out of pistoleer and still win. I never said anything about making us more powerful. All I said was that I would like to have more variety in the pistoleer class so that I had more options than pmd1 followed by a stopping or a fan spam . Bh is fun, carbineer is fun, swordsman,fencer, tka, commando lol they were fun to me. The only thing fun about pistoleer is making the mouse so that's it's a pointer and nota target and then running back and forth just so that you can see how cool your shots look when you're spamming fan shot. hehe. Don't make us overpowering! Don't make us flavor of the month again! However, give us some tactics, give us a reason to use these other specials and not just have them worse than stopping and fan. Sure you can be a smart player and use your toolbar well and have your muon and your brandy ready, but you need to do that with any profession. You do that and you're going to be decent no matter which profession you pick. When you're standing in front of that master tka and you know that anything that you do besides pmd1 and stopping/fan spam is going to mean that you are dizzy/knockdown and dead in two to three seconds, you might think to yourself that hey "I might want to do something a little different." Sure I can win I just dont' think that's too much fun press one button. I'd like to press a few buttons
