lmao,

Your complaining about a guy using a CDEF pistol spaming pistol whip?

Yes We must nerf all CDEF pistols. nerf em i tell ya.

err not pistol whip but disarm 2.

If the red writing would have read Fire knockdown or Underhand shot there would have been a much greater out cry.

Sozek,

Interesting. Yet another of the "spam for the win" specials. Even more interesting that it only takes 4 marksman boxes to get.

Like someone else said look at the speed he is shooting at , I thought it was meant to be capped at 1.0 speed? , so not only is disarmshot2 broken you can also spam it and shoot weapons faster than 1.0 .

I've not yet seen an special shot faster than 1.0 seconds, but I can test it out certainly, using DA2.

Knockdown defense needs to be fixed, no doubt about it. If that's not enough, there is rumor of an immunity timer to allow some time between KDs. PvP needs to be fun, but masters also need to be >> then the general (currently) unskilled population, however, we all knowa single attack should not keep the opponent from taking any action until dead.Regardless,DA2 should still be deadly, it is a master level special and frankly nothing else in the pistoleer line really scares anyway..for good reason.

One suggestion is to have it not do damage. That way you have to use MTPS + DA2 to actually dish out damage (which may actually be worse!!). But they still also need to fix MTPS, it's still broken. Right now plenty of skill choices give people knockdowns that they use (abuse, for good reason) in PvP. If we were to strip DA2 today, fights would then just go to low blow and the carbine KDs/dizzys. And none of those are even aquired at master :/ When I don't use KD in PvP, I die to knockdowns. When I do use it, I win vs multiple opponents. In most cases however, I'm never fighting opponents that have maxed out pistoleer and their remaining skills, so I don't think much of it in terms of pistoleer vs other profession balance, just "it's no fun getting knockdowned and killed".

wru edit function.

"never fighting opponents that have maxed out pistoleer and their remaining skills"

should read:

"never fighting opponents tha thave maxed out a combat profession and their remaining skills"

OK, I did some testing. I suspect he was buffed. Will full buffs, only mind pool cost is significant. Buffs too powerful?

Add in Muon Gold spice and you can spam Disarm Shot 2 until the effects wear off (or close to it).

I'd like to see Disarm Shot 2 stay useful, I only hope they fix the issues that allow it to be spammed rather than making it weak and less useful .

Shooting 10 times a second sure is a neat trick. Did someone manage to get a gun sliced down to .2 or something ludicrous?

Thanks for replying, the hole knockdown in PvP needs to be looked at and looked at good , not just some hastey nerf like before. I wouldnt mind a knockdown imune timer of some sort just for PvP.

It seems to me that disarmshot2 was not meant to be an AE knockdown, so it would not surprise me in the least bit when it gets changed. I just hope it gets changed into something useful and fun.
