Pistoleer Archive

They were skyrocketing because you can use pistols in BH and Smuggler too, so If you chosse pistoleer as your profession, and go pistol branch in BH and Dirty fighting in smuggler, you now have a ton of pistol specials, more specials than any other weapon... thats why pistols skyrocketed.

You want to lower there numbers devs.... take away eyeshot and other pistols movesfrom BH and smuggler,or more rifle, and melee specials somewhere, maybe rifles in ranger, and melee in comando...

Also, not that this has anyhting to do with it, but doesnt it seem funny that BHs with eyeshot are the best snipers in PvP?

Rifleman and supporter against pistoleer nerf today

I was a TKA looking for a complement.

I noticed that if I took pistoleer, I got a ton of defensive bonuses. That means that learning pistoleer makes me a more deadly TKA, since many of them don't require a pistol in your hand to be effective.

Add on the fact that with my unarmed brawler skill already maxed, I am eligible for smuggler as soon as I get my marksman pistol skill maxed, it's a no-brainer.

Well see you have to understand.. the Devs ask us about the game.. well because they dont know anything about it

It is better to add than to remove (whenever possible).

Therefore either add other avenues for improving carbine (which is part way there with the BH Carbine line), rifle, melee, etc... so that they can dabble in a manner comparable to those using pistols,

or, improve the base classes (give pistoleer, rifle, carbine, and the melee classes specials like you get from dabbling in Smuggler / BH) so that there is no major benefit to picking up the weapon lines from BH / Smuggler. This would probably result in a HUGE number of folks taking a weapon skill + medic + CH, but that wouldn't necessarily be bad (a lot of people do that already anyway).
