Pistoleer Archive

Well guys, it's been fun playing as a pistoleer since launch. I've tried to stick with this profession through thick and thin, through 1sec 800damage headshots from rifleman, and 1500damage one hit kills from commandos, and even the **edit** eyeshot spam from BHers. And now, I'm tossing in the towel. It has become obvious to me that pistoleers simply will not be any good except as a hobby for crafters. Our only skill that was decent at damaging hives(fanshot) now takes WAY too much action cost to be a viable attack, and now its a cone effect. Big whoop now I can hit 4 players for 10 damage, instead of 1 for 20. And if reports of AP being completely broken for pistoleers, I have no reason to stay with the class.

I've really enjoyed being a pistoleer, but given the options of going commando or BH, and being faster with a pistol than a pistoleer. I'm going commando. Faster AP blast attack gun...hrm...not that hard of a decision. Maybe a dev will see this post and realize one of two things: A. Pistoleers really are weak as hell. or B. Other classes are a bit over powered. I'm not the one to make the call on other classes....so I'm sticking with A and moving out.

So keep up the faith those of you who still can, as for me...I'm going commando =)
