Pistoleer Archive

So I was in beta... One of my chars was a TK artist, made it about half way up the tree. Yeah, lunge was broken, but I personally disagreed with how they nerfed it.
Now in release, I've got some buds that are doing Pistoleer, and Pistol Whip is better than lunge EVER WAS! How did it get missed? Where's the freakin nerf bat?
Now, as a 1 hand sword guy, if I lunge something, I do 1 point of damage and my HAM gets eatin alive. If the guy I lunge has a blaster, I really haven't taken him out of the game. Meanwhile, Pistol whip costs less HAM than BS2, knocks mobs down so they can't hurt ya, and does decent damage.
Sorry kids, time for the nerf bat.

PS - I'll hold my breath while the Pistoleer Correspondant puts this in his weekly report.

hey Hitler you should head over to the CH forum and tell them what to nerf there as well, lol.

Good idea! My Pistoleer friend has CH and a 7k HAM kitty too... I think I'll head that way next!
DeathInPlaid, nerf bat in hand (if only the devs would give me one, then we'd ALL be wielding axes)

PS - calling someone hitler is EXTREMELY offensive to people of German decent. I'm not of German decent, but if I was, BOY HOWDY you'd get a talking to!.

sorry Rasputin

LOL good one Darth.

Hey instead of asking for nerfs look for ways to improve your particular profession or become a pistoleer!

Were just going to slowing nerf down each others classes until they all suck equally. Once we loose pistol whip and CH get nerfed TKA will probably be toned down because people get pissed off and want to get someone else nerfed

I don't understand why this is a Uber attack, First off the Target has to be within 7m to be hit with a Pistol Whip. The next thing Pistol Whip eat up your Pistol Life, If you use this tactic all thetime you will be heading to a weaponsmith very fast!

If your get own bythe skill then try to stay at a good distance from a pistoleer. Then you shouldn't have any issue with Pistol Whip!

Well if it eats your pistol quality then nevermind! Forget I said anything!

I imagine the devs were thinking:

"Well we made Bounty Hunters better at most of the important things that Pistoleers should be good at, so maybe if we make Pistol Melee Defense cool, they'll be too dumb to notice."

We weren't.

Pistol Whip shoudl be nerfed but, just a SLIGHT time delay. 5-10 seconds only. So you can spam it... then whats the point of using other skills? Ohh condition of weapon goes down... oh no, it will anyway, use another gun. So I am glad in some ways. Just hope they dont nerf it into uselessness

Does anyone else see the sheer lack of logic in comparing a ability you get as a novice vrawler (no boxes) to a ability you get in the first box of Pistol special ablilities in the elite profession of Pistoleer.

Isn't this the same response BHs give when pistoleers point out how awesome BHs are with a pistol? Come on!

The answer, of course, is that almost all combat professions need fixing at this point. TKAs worse than pistoleers, but TKAs aren't alone, heck the Commando's are much worse off than TKAs. BHs are really the only combat career that is working as it should. Don't scream for the nerfbat for other classes, figure out what your class needs to have improved to make it competitive, and suggest that.

The most obvious fix for the TKA in PvP at this point is some sort of 'stick' command that keeps other players from kiting them, but not being a TKA, I'm not shure what else they need.

I just love idiots like DeathInPlaid who go around trying to get all the other classes nerfed so his can have the upper hand. It takes a minimum of 276,000 xp to get Pistol Melee Defense 1, and 0 to get Novice Brawler's lunge and he expects lunge to be stronger?

DeathInPlaid, I'm sorry if you keep getting owned by Pistoleers but it's simpletons like you who lack the skill to play your own profession and screem nerf for all otherprofessions that destroy the balance in these games. Go back to your brawler board, your criticism is neither constructive nor wanted.
