Pistoleer Archive

Does anyone find its one of their most used skillz now?

Dunno....not a master pistoleer. I used to use Pistol Melee (which is destroyed), then I used Warning Shot (which is lame, and not as good), now I use Suppression on most enemies to eliminate them. Just wondering...Am I alone or has SOE made all Master Marksmans equal?

BTW, I also have Bounty Hunter (dont hate), Pistoleer (not all obviously...Dont hate), and some Carbineer (dont envy the carbi's).

Curiously yours,

suppression is marksman ranged support 4 anyone can use it and yes i use it as well if i have to try and solo a mob stronger than me .

Since they fixed it...Suppression fire totally owns.... Please God...dont let em nerf it.

Two ppl with suppression fire can totally destroy animals withouta ranged attack. No matter how big or how much armor. I was in a group of 4 on lok hunting snorbals. Poor things couldn't even move. That said, it is being nerfed with the 30 second posture changed limit coming.

Shhhhhhhhhhh........ /slaps forehead !

Star.

Yeah I use suppression shot like I used melee defense 1 before the nerf... Very useful when soloing but theres going to be a 30 sec timmer added to it so I gotta look for a new KD or hope the devs give us back the whip (Ha yah right).

Its one of my most used moves. I prolly use it about 70% of the time. I always hit first with Health Shot 2. Then switch between Body Shot 2 and Double Tap.

Warning Shot is still good also.

Ryche,

In case you didn't know, Health Shot 1 stacks with Health Shot 2 so against red con mobs, it pays to use both in conjunction with the other specials you mentioned.

And yes, Suppression Shot absolutely rocks.

All knockdown and posture change shots are linked to the same 30 second immunity timer on the victim. This is game why, not only PvP. This means Supression Shot only works every 30 seconds as well as any knockdown, even Lowblow.

The ONLY hope we have is to go up Smuggler Pistol tree and learn Panic Shot.

Reeve - Thanks, i didn't know those 2 stacked.

That totally blows them nerfing suppression shot - it was our best move as a Pistoleer (sarcasm).

Thank goodness I haven't dropped my rifleman skills yet..................I may have to eventually start throwing rocks as my special moves, it'll do more damage I'm sure.

I use this on ANYTHING that gets close to me. it works around 98% of the time, which is better than the 2% rate it had before the large patch. I dont want to see it nerfed, because in pvp anyone can use it but melee, as it seems to be the answer to rushing attackers. However it should not work as often as it does. Sad but true.

Why look? All knockdowns and posture change moves will be on the same timer with the fix. So it suppresion is your favorite then use it. Especially if you are only a pistoller cause you wont have a ranged knockdown anymore.

I'm debating using supression after the change or getting low blow. I've got enough pistol exp saved to make it to low blow in a few days.
