Pistoleer Archive

I'm just curious. I'm a master smuggler/ pistoleer, and I don't bother much with the pistoleer moves; I'm really using pistoleer for increased speed and accuracy. I almost exclusively use my smuggler special moves. If it weren't for the massive speed boost at master pistoleer, I wouldn't even continue in this profession.

just about every commando does, because we have to to get decent HW exp with a launcher pistol....

OK, I can accept that. Everyone knows that commandos need ashot in the arm, anyway.

Oh, and I didn't mean to imply in my post that I'm a master pistoleer; still working on that. So far, though, none of the pistoleer moves compare with Low Blow, Panic Shot, and Last Ditch. I'm too stubborn to give up, so I hope Fan Shot stacks up favorably.

Just Pistol Whip and HealthShot2.

Master Doctor/Novice Pistoleer, although I have been up and down all of the trees a few times to see what they're all like.

That is, to me, retarded. Why bother having a pistol specific profession, when there are two other professions out there that get everything we do, only with better special shots (and in the case of BH, don't know about smuggler, more speed and accuracey) in just 4 boxes compared to 12.

What is going on in the Devs' minds with this!?!

Well, the smuggler gets zero speed and accuracy, so that's no biggie; I just enjoy shooting Binayre pirates in the groin. Yeah, I'm mean spirited that way.

I too, am a master smuggler/master pistoleer. I find myself relying heavily on my pistoleer specials more than the smuggler ones. I occasionally do a low blow and a panic shot, but as of now the pistoleer specials like PMD1 and stopping shot and fan shot and disarm 2 are much nicer than the smuggler ones.

I may, though, have to start usin them when disarm 2 gets the shaft. I bet that feign death will become my best friend again soon enough.

Hehe, a much sadder question to ask is how many pistoleerswithout another elite combat profession make heavy use of pistoleer moves. Pistol whip is good for certain situations, but my bread-and-butter move since the (well-deserved) pistol whip nerf is bodyshot 2, a marksman special. I don't have fan shot yet, which might possibly replace it, but as of nownone of the pistoleer moves I haveis better. Oh, I do use disarm shot I against nests. Works wonders, the nest has never fired back at me once.

I'm a master pistoleer and, amusingly, I don't use many pistoleer moves at all, but let me explain...

I'm a Master Pistoleer/Master CH so I often have pets tanking so I don't need to use knockdowns much. I usually just auto attack in these situations. If I need to finish a mob off faster I use BS2 (fromMarksman). If I get an add on me, or a mob rushes me I use Suppression Fire (from Marksman) to stop it and get a pet on it. If I can get 3 or more mobs on my pets I use PBA1 (from Novice Marksman!!) to hit all of them at once.

I'm sure a regular Pistoleer without CH would find some of our move more useful... But I just don't really need any of them, currently. My biggest hope is that they will fix PBA2 and BS3 so I can start using them in the same situations I listed above...

Master Pistoleer/Expert BH here.

I use Stopping Shot for damage (The BH Pistol Speed enhancements are crazy... I'm attacking as fast as I attack with normal auto-attack and hitting for 700-1700/shot), Disarm 2 for most KDs (Pistol Whip if I have to watch for aggro), and Health Shot 2 (Obviously). I use Torso Shot and Eye Shot from the BH line almost every single battle. Personally, I believe that the Pistoleer abilities need to be tweaked in this way:

Disarm 2 - Should actually DISARM

Multi-Target Pistol Shot - This should be the mass-KD attack (Or at least work...)

Body Shot 3 - Not nearly powerful enough

Area Shot 2 - Broken (No AoE) - Does good damage, just needs to be AoE

All I can think of for now

ok i dont understand why u would use stopping shot and eyeshot together? stopping shot hits a random ham(usually action/health) and eyeshot is strictly mind. isnt using them both on the same mob redundant?

personally i find the BH specials useless(i dont have torsoshot). the reason i see this is because depending on the mob, i usually use my 2 healthshots(health ham), fanshot, and stopping shot. i use eyeshot only once to blind the opponent to lessen his accuracy. even pistolwhip hits the health or action so using eyeshot with it is pointless.

I probably don't count, since my other profession is non-combat.

However, right now disarmshot2 is way better than the smuggler specials. Until the next patch, that is...

Hmmm I have 3 moves I use often. Suprresion fire from marksman, panic shot from Smuggler and fan shot from Pistoleer.
