I just got this special 2 days ago and can't do anything with it. At least mele defense 1 has a chance for k/d, defense 2 doesn't do anything. Am I using the special wrong or is it borked like Charge shot 2 for Carbineer? So far the only thing that works good for me in pistoleer is theFan special. For the amount of skill points I'm using I was expecting a little more from Pistoleer so I could use some tatics, I guess its just going to be bleed and run while spaming Fan Shot all day as usual.


Well, at least I get decent defense mods, thats something.

That may explain why the final part of the Pistoleer tree has been beyond boring for me! I did 0-0-4-1 straight away, and that was pretty much all the excitement right there. With the other two million pistol experience, it's been like "Wow!Look at me dodge!"


Ugh...2-4-4-3. Soon... Soon...

Heh, wait until you have 4,4,4,3. Grinding out that combat experience hurts. The good news is that you will get the +6 speed in the last box and the +20 at master at the same time, so you will notice a big difference.


Hang in there. Our specials will work someday. I can't say when the devs are shooting for rolling out this combat balance pass, only that there is a great deal of effort going into it to make it as good as possible. I think that the mere fact that they are doing a revampof combat is a good sign. The developers understand the degree ofthe problems.

I would like the PMD2 to be a ranged kd. just for kicks. you know carbineer gets 2 ranged kds, and one of them is a AoE ranged kd. Rifleman is powerful and pistoleer is fast. Rifleman can do a dizzy kd by using two of its specials to dizzy and make them change postition. Pistoleer get a melee kd which is nice, but no dizzy and no ranged =(

I hear you!I have to earn another 700k pistol experience to master, but another 75k combat experience as well. I may need to track down somegrenades.


I have been taking my time to master Pistoleer, mainly because I am waiting to see what happens in the combat revamp. I am pretty excited about some other combat professions, butdon't want to make any decisions until I see how the balance pass works out. If Pistoleer gets a lot of love, at least I won't be a "bandwagon pistoleer" and can talk about the old days in the cantina with other Master Gunfighters. "Remember when Stopping Shot...didn't?" Heh.

Isn't the combat revamp about.. 6+ months away?? They're not even done taking conceptual suggestions until March or April, right? Not to say that it won't be great, it just seems like there's beena huge upswell of excitement for it lately. Did something change?

The In Concept thread is open and has been for some time. It will be through April. I'll add a link to our thread on the subject. I must have typed it up and just forgot to put the link in. (darn html button having to be entered last, you forget to add links to the beginning of a post)




As for when the bulk of the Combat Balance Pass is scheduled to arrive, I'll be 100% honest with you. The developers have a tentative goal, but the correspondents aren't allowed to share it yet because that's what it is - tentative. Thunderheart has learned the hard way what happens when he makes promises, even if they aren't technically promises. I'd love to tell you and I wish I could, but my hands are tied. The ETA will come from a guy with a red name, not a blue name.

We could just use that skill as a taunt. It could go something like this.

*start dream sequence*

Teras Kasi: hey pistoleer you suck. lets duel so I can pwn you.

Pistoleer: I don't think that would be wise

Teras Kasi: Why? you guys can't win any duels anyway so just let me beat you down

Pistoleer: Ah but I just got Pistol Melee Defense 2!!!

Teras Kasi: So. What does that do?

Pistoleer: It gives us the ability to block every hit you try to land on us and it will KD you for 60 seconds too.

Teras Kasi: No way.

Pistoleer: Yea, it was in the latest patch for pistols. So you wanna duel now?

Teras Kasi: No way man, I'm gonna go drop TKM and pick up pistol. I will be uber leet then.

Pistoleer: Ok have fun.


Hey we can dream can't we. See you in game guys.
