I was holding a 1.9 delay Vibroblade. I have a screenshot as proof of this fight. Wanted to post this sick damage output here to show how disgusting this is:

Fight Ends At 11:54:41

I was hit SEVEN times in SIX seconds. I got off one Lunge Stab, it missed. Do we even really need to think about why every othercharacter is a Pistoleer/BH? This was from a range of about 3 meters.

Why would you want to be anything else? To top it off, he had done MAYBE 5% action damage to himself.

I'm not sure what else to say.

Its pretty sad how much of an advantage Pistoleer/BHs have over other classes...

Were you wearing armour? They changed the scatter pistol from stun damage to acid I think. Either that or the guy on the BH board was wrong whenhesaid it was stun in the first place.

Before someone comes in here and starts going on about stat points a BH with eyeshot has used92 skillpoints on COMBAT skills if my maths is working today. The scout tree is not a combat skill.

If I get master rifleman and mastertailor I have used most of my skillpoints, but I should not be a godlike figure in PvP.

I have only ever seen Scatter Pistols doing Acid damage, but don't quote me on it, since I'm not a Bounty Hunter.

Also, if I could make a suggestion. . . and this was something that was brought to my attention a little while ago in these forums. I really wish I could remember who slapped some sense into me about it.

When doing PvP in a one-on-one situation, you may want to shoulder that Laser Rifle (and possibly even that T-21) in favor of the Jawa Ion Rifle. Sure, sure, the piercing is Light, but it does Stun damage, which can make a huge difference on armored attackers. It also has a much faster fire rate, you you have at least a CHANCE of getting off more than one style of attack before you get dropped. Heh.

I got 3 style attacks off against a BH today! Im so happy. Except 2 of the 3 missed....oh well. Serves me right for thinking I can PvP

I was armorless, admittedly so. It was only a friendly duel, mostly because I knew he was a BH and wanted to see how sick Eye-Shot was for myself. What gets me is this. Let's assume all goes well, I'm a Rifleman at 65m ready to start attacking a BH. I can't kill him in less than 6 seconds, there's no way. With Pistoleers range the way it is now, I'm screwed. 7 hits in 6 seconds? I don't care how much COMBAT exp is used, or how many skill points are used. That's plain sick, and quite ignorant IMHO. But, then again, I'm a Rifleman/Fencer, I chose the two most gimped combat classes, so what do I know?

*grin*

Jawa is great, goes though most armour like it isn't even there. It is my main PvP weapon.

With your Jawa can you do enough damage in 6 seconds to kill a BH?

I don't think so. Not with him HITTING your MIND POOL and you DRAINING your MIND POOL to hit his.

"But, then again, I'm a Rifleman/Fencer, I chose the two most gimped combat classes, so what do I know?"

Ahem. Squad Leader. Fear my skill-less-ness.

Hehe got me there. Hey, if you ever get some friends you can make them run up hills faster though! That's pimpness.

Hmm...Maybe I should make a Bio-Engineer and Squad Leader char just so I can run around and be gimpy...

I think I will...and I shall strike fear into the hearts of my enemies with my uber gimpiness!

Just don't use any skills that may use mind cost, wouldn't want that BH to be able to whip you in 5 seconds instead of 6, that would be embarassing.

Don't forget the jawa ion rifle makes cool laser noises that gets all the mega attention you so desire, because your father is a raging alcoholic who pays little attention to you unless you are bringing him another cold one from the mini frig in the bathroom. I'm hoping a nice T21/Jawa rifle combo will do well, also the jawa ion rifle has a smaller mind cost then both T21s and laser rifles, enjoy.
