Pistoleer Archive

Considering making a pistoleer on another server to try it out. However, in their skills page, I do not see a Knockdown, can somebody out there confirm or deny this?

Thank You

We have a KD. It's called Pistol Melee Defence1. Kinda sucks casue it's not a ranged KD though. Still, it beats nothing.

Well, it's *supposed* to be a defensive move, thus the name.

Mostly designed I would assume towards aggro beasties and aggressive TKAs...

Could I get a number? Like 500 damage? or 1000 damage average? Just a guess. I notice one person's version of "not very much damage" is alot different then mine. For example a 3K stopping shot, seems like alot until you get hit with a 12K Flame thrower or you die from a 1 shot sniper.

If it could do 1000 damage a swing, I would be pretty happy.

I was using a pistol melee II and I noticed a hit for 718, but I dont use KD much because they stay down for a split second and you have to be close to use it. Someone said that pistol whip II doesnt KD I only used it a couple of times and cant remember if it knocked the target down. Either way it sucks.

The damage will depend on your weapon. Check the FAQ for dmg mods for all pistoleer specials.

How much damage does it do? Can it save you bacon if a mob jumps? OR are you better off whipping it and then back to shooting..

One last question, What is the differance between melee defence 1 and 2?

The damage isn't very good, and the knockdown duration is very short. Pistol Melee Defense 2 does more damage but doesn't knock down.

Only time I typically use it is if something closes in and I need some space, or I need to get aggro off someone. I'll knock it down, throw on a quick stopping shot (to enjoy the extra damage from the target being knocked down) and step back. By the time the stopping shot has fired, the target is already getting up to wail on you again.

hmmm i found that pistol whip KD doesnt offer any damage bonus like low blow when they are on the floor.

I use it all the time when I've got guys chasing me and I want my pets to be able to grab the aggro. If I can knock it over, chances are it's going to go after my pet when it gets back up and not me.

Iused the kd yesterday on one of my high level tka friends...man i knocked his ass down and proceeded to incap him...it only took a few seconds...its all about who gets the knockdown first...cause we were standing toe to toe
