Pistoleer Archive

They gutted pistoleer so much that now we are leaving in droves. Ask them how many masters they had pre-patch and how many post-patch. With so many non-working abilities or arcane to activate abilities it should be no secret.

Since Beta I wanted to be a pistoleer because I wanted to be really cool with a pistol. Over the course of the game i have noticed I simply spam fanshot. Every once in a while I used the other abilities, as they were needed, but fanshot is my primary attack. Now the other abilities that were situationally useful aren't even that.

Goodbye Pistoleer. My character was bad enough lugging Squad Leader around. Now I have a second master "albatross" around my neck. Time to start over on this guy. The one bright spot is that I do have a ton of pistol and combat xp saved up.

I don't want to be a BH though. I don't want to use a pistol anymore. After this patch, is rifleman better? I always wanted to use a pistol, but now...it seems pointless.

Rifleman is pretty good. So is carbineer. Commando is also going to be a very popular choice after this patch, but they'll get adjusted/nerfed soon.

Funny, those who went for pistoleer because they wanted to be pistoleers and not for the pwnage are still pistoleers.

I mentioned this on the radiant board, guess I will mention it here. I have been gunning (HA!) for MP since day 2 (That was the day I figured out my first choice, smuggler, really wasn't the smuggler I had envisoned.). Yeah we totally suck now, but I am sticking it out. SOE has proven it's incompetance. We will have a day in the sun again. Sony doesn't know, or perhaps simply doesn't intend, to fix any proffession. It will just be an endless cycle of nerf, buff, nerf, buff, nerf til every profession gets it's day in the sun. Because I am 100% positive that is what is going on, I am just sticking to my guns (HA HA!!!). I put too much time and energy into pistoleer. No other class is really all that great, so why bother jumping ship for a flavor of the week? Now that SOE has started to make commando work 1/4 of the way it should, they will realize their error (DARN JIMMY!!! WE FIXED SOMETHING, GET ME THE NERF BAT.) and "correct" it.

I forsee that we will be getting owned by chefs around christmas time, but by the new year we will have entertainers to kill us around every corner. Just as soon as SOE makes the omnibox a melee weapon with it's own specials tree.

Pistoleers don't cry for Nerfs?? Can't you read all the posts complaining about the New LLC? Or are these the first Nerfs, you've asked for?

Complaining that a gun does more damage than an Imperial Star Destroyer Turbolaser Battery is not the same as calling for a nerf.

Big favor to ask.......to all those whining.....please do the rest of us a favor and just leave. Better yet, at the ,log on screen, type "DELETE <INSERT YOUR TOONS NAME>. We are only 2 months into the game.....the SOE folks are doing their best to work out the issues. I guess these attitudes are understandable if you have never played any MMORPG before. Give things time.....take a chill pill....enjoy the game...dont rush totry to be the first one to get the "master " title...having played UO and DAoC since the release of each, I will tell you that SWG has unlimited potential....hope someone backs me up on that. Just remember....theres always someone tougher than you.....someone else better that you, so justmake the best of what you do, or just plain quit playing.....you'd save us all some lag....tyvm

2 months into release and your second post. A constructive little troll aren't you? We got betrayed today. We have every right to feel the way we do. Go back to the BH board RaphSpawn...

It all good there ass clown......i appologize for my noobness in not knowing that the number of posts reflects your maturity level or knowledge of anything for that matter. Get over it and like I said......if you dont like it....get out......quit playing....shut your whiney trap up.

Don't think you're alone in the pain...

I'm a Riflemen and this patch has us screwed too... the 30 sec delay on Supression Fire means that we can no longer solo ANYTHING - unless we can kill it in 1 or 2 shots, that is...

Now, it looks like I'll be staying in my naboo house all day because that + the x2.5 modifier means any high level mod can kill us in 1 hit...

So don't go on pretending you were the only ones hurt... other professions got the shaft as well.

This isn't all about the KD nerf. Read around a bit and you'll find out what they really did to pistoleer, and it isn'tjust KD (because that happened across the board, keeping a level playing field.)

Thats the point i was getting at A6....lot of folks have been "slapped in the face"...Other point I was making is that you got to play what makes you happy....if your not happy, then why force yourself to do it. You're always gonna wish that you toon was "just like the other guy's" Now, I being very close to master pistoleer / smuggler dont really have much of a choice on weapon spec, but then again pistol is for "MY STYLE" of play anyway....wouldnt have it any other way. Give it time folks, theyre gonna get things fixed. I feel for you guys who cant stand in there with a kimogila and pistol whip it to death solo anymore. when I first aquired pistol whip and learned that i was sickened by it...but they fixed it. BTW A6....we shouldnt bother posting in this forum again as the number of posts that out tag reflects isnt good enough to warrant any incouragement or insight to the profession. 700 plus posts?? **edit** maybe you should try playing a bit more and a little less flapping your mouth....peace.

I'm glad to see new people posting, but find it amusing when someone new posts telling all of us, who have been dealing with this for quite some time, how we should feel or think. Take some time to read about the "nerf" before you tell us we should quit this game. We have put a lot of effort into our characters, only to be broken, accused of being overpowered and now completely gutted. The masses on the boards have been calling for it and it happened.

Sorry if I may have overreacted to your "two months" line, it seemed to me that someone who had only posted once in those two months wasn't much of a font of wisdom.
