Pistoleer Archive

I'm not sure what the actual in-game term for this is (knockdown, loss of posture, etc...), but I was fighting with a Carbineer the other day and there was a giant enemy who wasred to us.

I said, "Wait, don't attack it, he'll kill us!" and he laughed and said, "Watch this... he won't even reach us."

So I sat there and watched as he evidently switched between action-shot and full-auto-action every other move -- and it totally kept the enemy from advancing.

I asked what was going on, and he said that a carbineer's action-shot makes the enemy "fall to his knees" (stun/knockdown/etc...) for about 5 to 10 seconds, and so long as you keep doing that, he won't ever be able to move.

SO... my question is: Does a pistoleer have a similar ability? One that can stun a single enemy for 5-10 seconds? Or is that something special that only Carbineers have?

Melee defense in the pistoleer combat XP line.

In PvP clearly a ranged KD is far, far superior. But either way, knockdowns are pretty whacky.

Any Marksman should be able at some point to get the Ranged Support Specialist ability Suppression Fire, which lists a posture down effect. So you could do it no matter what kind of gun you were holding. However, I have not attained that skill myself yet (not sure I want it) so this is conjecture.

I don't think supp fire is working in PvP or on humanoid mobs. Either that, or I've gotten resisted every single time

Ok, guys, Action Shot is bugged. It is bugged so that it has supression fire's effect. Supression fire doesn't seem to done anything most of the time because of this. Action shot changes posture, it doesn't knock down. It's known, it's been /bugged and discussed.

Oh so its ok for a carbineer to do that but its not ok for a brawler to unarmed lunge. I dont see much diference.

Changing an enemy's posture effectively stuns him for 5-10 seconds. This is the ability I'm talking about. This is the ability that I want. SO... Is the only way to get it currently Carbine? But suppression shot can be used with any weapon -- Is this a bug they plan to fix? I'm considering throwing away my pistol ability and going for Carbine -- but then if they fixed this bug, it'd be a waste.

Does anyone have any idea what'splannedin the long run?

Thanks.
