Never thought I'd do this.. but I'm picking up rifleman and dropping to 0444 pistoleer...
Maybe pistoleer will get better some day.. I hope so, rifles look ridiculous.
Just can't stand it anymore.. I'm pistoleer and pikeman.. one of these has to go.. and pike just looks too pretty.

well without the 20 spd in master you are gonna suck as a pistoleer anyway.
always master a profession before you think it sucks

why only drop the dodge line though? even without the +25 or so at master, dodge is still a great defense. especially if you pkan on using your pistol on a regular basis. if your going to go rifleman, mine as well just drop pistoleer down to 0/0/4/1. your speed will suck, your accuracy will suck for the most part, but you will still have some decent specials if your truly need them I guess. the lack of speed and accuracy by not keeping the master seems to outweight any benefits of pistols at all.

If he's going master rifleman he'll be holding a rifle 90% of the time in PVP so Dodge is of no use.. but then again neither will be the Marksmanship line either..

I'm only dropping to 0444 so I can get it back quickly if changes are made, having 900k pistol xp stored up, it should be easy to re-master.

I thought being a gunfighter would be cool so i started up the pistoleer tree. I've made it to the 3/2/2/3 and my character sucks. My other skills are master marksman, master medic and almost master combat medic. If it wasn't for them I would get incapped all the time. I am disgusted with the time i spent wasted on pistoleer. I guess what there trying to do is force everyone to be tka, commando, or bounty hunter. One example of why I hate pistoleer, but i'm not going to surrender it yet just please fix it. My friend in the game just started playing and I helped her advance to novice fencer quickly. She wanted to duel me. So at first I dueled but with out any gun just playing around figuring with my dodge skills she couldn't hit me much well i was wrong I get incapped. Then I got serious and fought with a republic blaster and if i wouldn't have started running around i would got incapped again. What's up with that a novice can kill me. Major problems with all of pistoleer. I still get stunned by all creatures that matter. Pistoleer shouldn't be about running around who wants to do that. Pistoleer should be all standing accuracy. I understand we do less damage but we should be real fast and i can understand that rfleman has no defenses and maybe they should have to run when stuff gets close, but not us. I want a pistoleer that stands toe to toe and fights lke a gunfighter no running. Running is for wimps and I hardly use any of the action shots. Just health shot 2 for the first hit to get bleeding started. I agree with eveybody else on here about the other stuff. Please fix pistoleer so I don't have to surrender and become commando. Jim

Having dual pistols will not help us very much at all. It will just make Pistoleer even more of a "Flavor of the Month" profession.

first off, if your not holding a gun, then I believ dodge doesnt even work. secondly, if you got serious the second time, and still just stood there, you deserve to be taken out by a novice fencer. lets see, what were your options. stand there and get beat to hell with a big stick, or move around and not let them hit you. learn to actually play the game, then complain about the professions. I have no problem killing people with just pistoleer specials.

i wouldn't expect dual wield until space expansion, friend.
edit:
its gunplay. dodging, evading, gaining tactical advantages by moving, trying to outsmart the enemy...this is what we do, and should do. if you wanna stay in one place all day, become an entertainer, rifleman, or TKA.
