Well if we did, It probably wouldn't work anyways. Why mess up a prefectly usless templet by throwing in something like that? j/k. I to have wondered this as well. Other then bleed we have no specials that I am aware of that apply a state effect. Would be nice if we had 1 or 2.

to be honest.....even scouts and rangers have a dizzy (traps) but they can't be used on humanoids......

Well, here's a breakdown for a possible, and most probable reason. Back at launch melee professions were generally weak compared to range (makes sense in my opinion, in Star Wars dudes used guns to kill things, as you would expect really) To make up for the general weakness of melee, low speed and low damage in most cases they were given a lot of state changes to allow them to take a more tactical route, intimidation let them reduce enemy damage, dizzy to keep something on the floor, blind to lower accuracy etc, these status changes gave them the edge they needed to make them competitive and viable. Carbineers were the devs intention for ranged status change and crowd control, and Bh got theirs as a result of being a hybrid of pistoleer and carbineer. I'm not entirely sure why riflemen got a dizzy though, probably the same reason they were granted the ability to speed cap a weapon and move that can deal 500 energy damage at AP3, which I have used myself to hit unarmoured mobs for as much as 7k with strafe2, which is sick.
Since launch, the melee professions were all revamped (huge defence increases for most, TKA is nothing like it was in launch, it used to be worse than pikeman) then they were granted a 1.8 output bonus rather than the standard 1.5 and now the buffs and armour make them gods, gods who can all KD dizzy you, lol. Truth is, although everyone else has a dizzy attack, I don't believe pistoleer needs one, we really need less people relying on a KD/dizzy combo to do the job in this game.I would like to see the combat revamp reinstall the original intentions for all professions as they were pre-launch, that would be sweet.

Well if you ask me, they should make our pointblank2 into a "knock them on their ass for trying to stab a guy with a gun" shot.
That'd teach those TKM's to run after us........

maybe one of our specials could be used while dizzy/kd'd. Then we would have something to do while we are on our backs.
