Pistoleer Archive

I have seen low level weapons for other professions that have max damage at 300+.
Why is our best weapon a 210 Republic blaster? I get into fire fights and I can't seem
to do any real damage. I am a 3443 pistoleer and get shot-up any time I get agro-ed by imperials. If I wasn't a MCH with a rancor as a tank, I couldn't kill anything that pays good. I want a decent weapon that doesn't cost 350+K like the genosian stun pistols. If the republic blaster had a damage around 300 that would be great and the DX2 around 225. We were the first big nerf and our specials still don't function properly.

Does anyone know when we will get some relief?

The reason our weapons look so lousy compared to others is because we were supposed to be firing them very very quickly, and the other harder hitting weapon classes were supposed to be slower. That didn't pan out like the developers planned. If it had, DPS would be closer to equal despite the difference in weapon damage.

Relief is promised in a very general way in the Combat Balance in Publish 10. As that time nears, we will have to opportunity to test and provide feedback, but for now, it's a waiting game.

ya, i'll get right on killing hundreds of mobs in the geonosian cave for countless hours, then right after i get a schematic (if i do) i'll go solo some krayts.
yup, it'll be that easy

I am so sick of hearing this "reason" for why pistoleers shouldn't be fixed. Do you not realize how rediculously difficult it is to acquire a good geonosian pistol? We should not have to spend 8 million credits on a weapon just to be at the same level as other professions in PVP or PVE for that matter. Honestly stop being an elitist a**hole and realize that not everyone hasa millioncredits (let alone 8 million, the cost of these pistols)

i've been in game almost since launch, and i just BARELY made my first million.

hint: find the resources people want and grind nonstop on them. 14k units of 900+ OQ/PE/DR endorian insect meat got me 500k - which doubled how much money i had. creature harvesters are so rare these days, you can just about name your price. (i sold it for 29cpu)

Sure you can krayt and slicea geno pistol to get some 500 max damage monster but that doesnt change the fact that the entre level carbine is higher in damage than are arguablyhighest damage pistol the republic when there is no krayt or slice envolved.

Yes the person hit it with the speed thing.

If you look at the melee classes the Unarmed and fencer are the easiest to compare. I am a TKM/master psitoleer smuggler for the background. I for one see when I do TKA moves the damge comes fastert them the emote. I hit KD2 Dizzy 1 and unarmed attack 3 all I see is unarmed attack 3 yet my target is Kded and dizzy so I know I hit it but didnt see it.

The same is said for fencer.

Now pistol should be the same yet dueling I have riflemen useing a 5.4 speed weapon and hits me 3 times when I get 1 shot with my 1.1 speed pistol.

Can I get an amen for balance plz.

thanks you for your comments, next time can you stop insulting everyone kiddie ?

Yeah, this was a pretty big letdown for me whenI reached master gunfighter. I truly expected my damage to be on par with a rifleman's over the course of a 2 or 3 minute period. Wow wasI in for an awakening.

And to paraphrase a previous post:

"Just join the legions of campers so that on the off hand chance one of the crazed geonosians drops a schematic, I can have a weapon thatI don't hate?"

Oh, brother. Please, peddle those wares elsewhere, cause Lowy isn't buying. I just kinda hanging out on my alt for a bit, and seeing where the combat revamp takes us. Good thingI picked a profession for my alt withoutso many technical issues, /rolleyes; /lol.

I was refering to the one that you are certified for at novice marksmen.... I forget the name d17 carbine? or something like that... I went to a good weaponsmith on my server and the weapon had damage over 200 unsliced... sure the speed wasnt as good but still.. its sad!!

I dont even think about cdef as a weapon anymore sorry for the confusion
