Light armor piercing. low damage. O.K. but not great melee defense. O.K. but not spectacular ranged defense. O.K. but not great speed. Sucky bleeds. Absolutely useless vs. Krayts and NS elders.


This is pistoleer.


If we got a ranged intimidatearea effect, it would totally change the face of pistoleer. all of the sudden we would be very valuable in groups and we would be able to last much longer vs. mobs and have more successful outcomes.


They have stated that they want pistol to be "brawler-like" in range and they have even given us melee attacks... i think this would blurry the line a bit.


For those of you who DONT know, intimidated targets deal out SIGNIFIGANTLY less damage.

Your sig says Master Smuggler, and if you combine that with master Pistoleer, the dmg you do is pretty damn good already.


Initimidate is a very very very good skill, and you asking for Area Affect?


Nuff said.

Yes but having to dabble or Master other skills just to make Pistoleer even worthy to use shouldn't be the case.

being able to attack from 40m out is pretty damn good imo



if you want intimidate become a brawler

We need SOMETHING


I am a smuggler 0/0/4/0 and master pistoleer


I USE FOUR smuggler moves and with this new patch ONLY ONE pistoleer move is any good FANSHOT, and thats only because its a AOE

If they reduce our weapons range to 40m, and dont fix anything else, then I think this is a reasonable request. It wont happen tho.


Personally I would be happy if they FIXED Disarm2 and make it actually disarm the target for a small duration. Maybe Disarm2 could do intimidate.... would kinda make sense... but keep it single target, increase the dmg.


If they did that and improved Body Shot 3 I would be pretty happy.

err. what if there were no such thing as panic shot and i asked for a 10 second delay like a long range warcry?


i think the response would look like NO NO NO NO! as well.


the fact of the matter is, that pistoleer is pretty gimp compared to the other ranged weapons atm. i'll go so far as to include carbine. put a buffed master carbineer with a buffed master pistoleer, you might be suprised who gets beat. an intimidate attack would make us more tank-like for sure, and the range on it would make us more of a "ranged tank" if there is such a thing. i think it would fly.

I personally like this idea. And if you will remember, this was a suggestion made by our first correspondent many months ago. One of the longstanding suggestions to improve Disarmingshot was to turn it into a ranged intimidate.



I dont see how this would be unbalancing in any regards. Warcry and Intimidate can be acquired for 15 measly skill points. They are a novice brawler skill, and using a ranged profession to improve upon that concept is perfectly legitimate. Panic shot already does this as a 'ranged warcry'...it would be great if this format could be mimiced in the pistoleer profession.



Just my two cents.
