Pistoleer Archive

I agree and I've thought about this as well. If they arent going to give a close range bonus to a pistoleer, like where a rifleman cant fire at a target 10m or less, then they need to look at the weapon enc. I think rifleman should be extremely slow, carbineer should move a bit faster than a riflemen, and a pistoleer should move just a bit slower than a melee prof.

I was thinking about this yesterday also, it should be quicker to run with a pistol then a war hammer or pike even.

The Devs commented about this while at fan fest. It seems movement speed with a rifle is going to be slowed down even more.

Personally, I dont see why I can't run at full pelt with a pistol in my hand.

./agree.
I dont see how a feather weight fwg pistol is heavyer than a big ass power hammer.

Christ, if they slow Rifleman movement anymore then u can find urself a new Squadleader Basger, coz I'm still gonna be walking through the starport at Mos Eisley by the time ur already killing Krayt dragons.

Meh, what's up with the Intimidator I had made for you?

Movement speed with the pistols kind of bug me, but I hate the god awful movement penalty I get with heavy weapons which is even slower than the other firearms and doesn't deal adequet damage but it makes sense as "heavy weapons". I think they should slow down not only movement speed but rate of fire too on rifles, right now too powerful and still able to fire high damage attacks every 2 seconds.

I think it all comes down to balance issues. You could kite a Melee toon forever.

We can do that anyway???

Its all about balance. if you could run full speed with a ranged weapon equipped, be it a rocket launcher or a pistol, then there would be no way for a melee profession to close with you. As it is now, its very difficult but possible for a brawler type to close.
