I've been working up TKA profession, but I always wondered if pistoleers were faster than us or did more dmg than us....



Anyone know?

Pistoleer is kewl. Currently I'm at 0/1/1/0 in pistoleer. But I'm droping it to go TKM. I'm also a CH. Anyway, most of the pistoleer specials don't do what they are supposed (much like the TKA specials). When they get everything fixed pistoleer might be fun, but there are a whole lot of CH/Pistoleer combos running around. The dmg from my fwg is normally around 240 for normal dmg, and when I use a special the highest I got was around 690+. The bad thing for TKA's about that, is that the pistoleer specials use very little HAM, so they can spam DisarmingShot, BodyShot(2/3), or Rollshot/KipupShot (even though you get these early in the pistol tree they are the ones I do the most dmg with - 500+ with Roll and 590+ with Kip - and u can use them together)



Now remember. ALL of these figures are against mobs not PVP. Pistoleer is fun, but I'm kinda bored with it...standing in the same spot while holding a pistol isn't fun. That's why I'm taking up TKA.




Fixed a bug in AI which resulted in NPCs sometimes deathblowing players just for fun. - So the NPC's where having fun and we weren't.

Pistoleers can do well over 1500 damage per shot on mobs with acid vulnerability, using stopping shot / fan shot. I don't understand what you mean about all of their specials being broken....


If you like pistols, consider dirty fighting in smuggler. It has the same requirement as pistoleer, if you're already a TKA, and you get a ranged knockdown.

I was going to go Smuggler for Low Blow and the other pistol specials as well but it would of meant me dropping the ranged support line in marksmen. Since I'm a bit skeptical about some of the combat changes coming up I wanted to leave as much of my +to hit in place (+30 from the support line, and +ranged and melee defenses). Theres no way I was going to drop my medic and scout skills either.
