Pistoleer Archive

pistoleer should be--a self defencive class, great defence, good accuracy but poor speed, and week DPS. slow but very hard to hit. all moves hit health. and they are great at close ranges. anyone would need to be kneeling to have a 60% chance to hit a pistoleer. standing you have a30% chance to hit a pistoleer. 40% less SP needed to get then carbines. they also at master get to equip 2 pistols wich double the speed and the second pistol dose 50% its damage, so thats 50% more damage per second.

rifleman--supporters of main infantry, best at kneeling, terrible accuracy wile standing and 70% chance tto miss at point blank. horibly high damage. and great for long range sniping. if your a mellee, you will probably die long befor you reach 30 meters. slow. but pretty good defences. add a new gun, a heavy repeater machine blaster that can only be equiped and used WHILE kneeling. at master, and prone trhey have a 90% chance to hit you. to further the reason for them to stay "behind the main line" would be they have a 2.5-3x damage multiplier.

carbineer--alround main fighters. good on there own, but best with support of rifleman. good defences and very good DPS. main grunts of combat. good standing very good kneeling. medium accuracy. fastest fireing class. but rifleman have greater damage output and greater accuracy. while pistoleers have much much higher defences. alround best for combat. but lacking in areas that rifleman succeed in. 60% of the accuracy of rifleman 50%the defences of pistoleers. and 5x the pistoleers damage output, 75% the riflemans dam,age output.

THIS IS MY OPPINION on what things should be.

(disclaimer:this ALL would be if they increased range on turrets to 200m and weapon range to 130m and pistol range to 100m, and also my idea's would greatly increase the usefullness of kneeling and prone. )

I always naturally question the validity of elitesdetermining the roles of other elites. It's like picking the roster of a competing team. Naturally the poster always prioritizes their own profession, which is definitely the case here.

As I see this, it basically leaves pistoleers out of the combat equation entirely, except as damage-soaking tanks. Pets and melee elites are exemplary at this, and I don't see where this Pistoleer model could compete with that. I don't see what all the skill points are paying for here, I certainly don't see anything in here that reflects the offense-heavy gunfighter roles portrayed in the Star Wars universe, and I definitelyI don't see how it would integrate with the Smuggler or Bounty-Hunter professions.

Creative and interesting, but I strongly disagree.

lol. um yes ALROUND best. as in even in accuracy, great in speed, even in defences. and great in damage.

pistol would bevery greatin accuracy,even in speed. very great in defences, and week on damage.

rifles amazing accuracyat prone and kneeling, week speed,even defences, and amazing damage.

ps:the pistol defences would half stack(only half would stack.) with oither prof.s and it would cost 50% LESS sp.
