Pistoleer Archive

I usually use a Scout Blaster unsliced for 63-123 damage and 1.7 speed. I do about 1000 damage or less with Stopping Shot. If they do add that 75% reduction and Nurfing Knockdown how do we stop Riflers? My friend who is a Master Rifler shoots for about 3k and thats 2 shots 2 kill my mind to kill me. If i can't do knockdown with out risking my own life what else would i do? If they add armor into the equation im going to b doing like 200 damage with my stopping shotand i will have no chance.

Another problem is Since i am a Master Pistoleer i don't see why i can't shoot a smuggler with low blow be for he shoots me even though i challenge him. Whats the point of being called a Quickdraw Artist if everybody is faster that a Master Pistoleer. Aren't we suppose to be the fastest shooters?

Well hopefully they will nerf rifle (or any)mind damage as well. Its a huge oversight by the devs to give damage to a line that cannot be healed in battle. Think about it, pistol (health) shots and carbine (action) shots can be healed by medics in the field, but when it comes to mind damage theres absolutely no way of quickly regenerating it. I cant believe they missed this...

well stopping shot is random, it can hit the mind pool. And i've seen pistoleers using stopping shot for 1900 dmg. So saying that a rifleman is overpowered is wrong.

In the dueling situation thats just total *edit* basically it comes down to luck as to whoever gets the server qued up ahead of time wins. Speed/weapon speed and skill speed means absolutely nothing. Its whoever spams the key early enough wins, plain and simple.

Was about to duel a guy for fun last night, no knockdowns etc, he's a carbineer, and I'm a pistoleer. Realistically about the same speed that of 1. (speed attack limit in the game) So he challenged me first, I'm about to hit the duel key spamming my shot (remember its luck at this point) and suprise I get spammed across my screen "YOU HAVE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN". Um.. I hadn't even hit the duel key, needless to say I told him to shove off (putting it nicely), because no knockdown/bleeding means just that to me.

Still as you can see I'm getting knocked down before even accepting the challenge, they need to do something about the initiation timers of pvp. Because I shouldn't be getting knocked down even before a shot is fired. (all i can say is thank you server for that little bug, showing me how dishonest he is)

Just thought I'd throw that experience in there. Enjoy all.

"i don't see why i can't shoot a smuggler with low blow be for he shoots me even though i challenge him. "

There-in lies the rub. If you challenge someone they can get the first shot off, since they can accept the duel and shoot you in practically the same instant.

If you want first strike, don't initiate the duel. Get the other guy to do it first.
