i tested this in a few duels....apparently when it lowers your posture your not able to fire for a few seconds unless your at prone...but if people keep trying to get up they will never be at prone...so technically you can keep spamming this in pvp until the other person dies...maybe the devs should take a look at this

That's nice.....for a marksman that cares. Not a pistoleer skill.

Sozek,


Interesting. Yet another of the "spam for the win" specials. Even more interesting that it only takes 4 marksman boxes to get.

Heh, well at least the other guy as the option to not get up, so it's not really a spam for the win, seeing as there IS something he can do about it.

Unless he's a melee fighter, they kind of have to be able to get close to ya..

Suppression Fire is pretty powerful in PvE too. I can keep a mob from advancing on me without sending it running off into others. Useful in tight spots. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't remain like it is now forever...

I think all specials should be removed from the game. no knockdowns, no suppression fire, no bleeds, no wound damage, no defense at all. If we have any of that working people say its too strong and then it gets nerfed.


We dont need body shot 3 to work; that would be a sin. Half the pistoleer skills are brokn but go ahead and nerf more stuff that way we can feel like we totally wasted our fukn time to get any exp when a novice marksman using a scout blaster will soon be able to do just as well as us.


I liked levels in everquest. There was no way in hell a level 35 warrior would expect to be a 65 warrior. But in this game since there is no exact predefined levels people with far less experience and common sense think they should magically be as skilled as everyone else. And if you get owned by suppression fire then use it first or stay away. Melees always suck thats how it is in every game, Melee's need a group ranged dont. Wizards, mages, rangers all could solo and warriors couldnt. its the history of all games. So a melee gets rocked by a range fighter in pvp *gasp* no sh.t. You are holding a knife and running up to a guy with a 9mm w t f you thinks gonna happen. Medics are over powered because they heal themselves when fighting and I cant kill them as fast as everyone else so they should be nerfed so they cant ever heal :/ sure.


How about instead of all these whiney ass nerf this posts you start whining about sh!t that aint working and then maybe they would FIX IT.


all in all summed up **edit** about nerfs and now jaegen tells me i need to learn to post passively without any sarcasm or dont come round these parts no more *twirls pistol*. All yall ever do is whine.

I think you should shut up, it's people that bitched about knockdown that screwed over the BH and TKA people.

The pecking order should be roughly even. The exceptions are that master professions that take more skill points should get a bit more of an edge as a reward for the additional investment.

NO. Do not EVEN whine about supression fire. When def. vs. posture change is introduced again it won't even work half the time. And there is no delay that's crap, supression does like 25-50 damage with a pistol in PVP!! You can't spam it for the win, my 1.7as scout delays long enough to let them stand up and fire or heal before they get hit again. I do NOT want to see this in a correspondant post, that would be horribly lame because one noober whines about it. It's nowhere near as powerful as KD and is very useful vs. melee NPCs. It's a tactical skill that has significantly reduced damage and higher ham cost than body shot 2.

Instead of campaigning that suppression fire be changed, demand that defensive mods againstposture changebe implemented or begin to work noticeably. You all do realize knockdown wouldn't have been hardly the hot topic if the resists to it functioned correctly right? Nerf Nerf freakin Nerf.

Do some of you people even understand what whining is?


Person A) I have this concern about something I noticed the other day that has a potential for abuse. [Reasonable, level, not whining]


Person B) OMG you whiners want everything nerfed, stop whining about it, etc... [Excessive whining]


Get to know the difference.
