Pistoleer Archive

People are using this against Pistoleers saying they are "too strong." What move are they talking about? Also, some people whine about an AoE KD move, which would rock! Which move? THANX

Pistoleers get two knockdowns. Pistol Melee Defense I is a melee range (8m) single target knockdown we get at intermediate special abilities. Disarm II is a ranged AE knock down that we get at master.

Considering that some others get ranged AEs well before master, I don't think that portion is an issue. The AE part of it could be argued though, but I feel that's the bone that pistoleer gets thrown since we don't get a ranged knockdown before master, and our only pool-targetted attacks are weak and hit the strongest pool.

OK, so those are the knockdowns I know of, some of those attacks have other effects as well as knockdown, but I didnt list . Why?... because I only have novice list making skill...and there was no more room. From what I have heard, pistol melee is the most effective, andTKA knockdown requires less xp than others. OK well thats my list, I know I probably left out stuff, and I cantpromise it will look as it should once posted...but im guessing most people who read this didnt know so many classes got knockdown until now.

Charged Shot 2 is neither KD or area effect. It's like most carbineer skills, a waste.
