Pistoleer Archive

Holocron,

Is every maxed out combat proffession measured against that same list? Seems to me a master anything should be 50/50 against the exact same list. I've been with solo Critter Handlers that solo Kimo's so, what gives?

Comment?

What gives is that they are also way overpowered. That's why I keep saying "don't compare yourselves to pistoleer" (or whatever). As I mentioned in the "Open Discussion On Balancing" thread in SWG Discussion, everyone feels they are underpowered because they are comparing themselves to pistoleers. But they're missing the point that pistoleers are way OVERpowered, and so is most everyone else. If we balance everyone off of pistoleer, the game will be WAY easier, you'll run out of content in a trice, you'll say there's no high end game, etc etc. And the core of the issue isn't that there's no tough mobs, is that players are way way overpowered.

Over time, the natural progression is for this to get WORSE. In three yearsat this rate, I'd expect a rank newbie to solo kimogilas, because that's what happens in online games--players get smarter, mobs don't.
