Now I don't scan the boards too often, so I have no idea if this has been discussed yet... but here goes

In order to solve the pistoleer kiting problem when chasing down a ranged opponent, why don't the devs just slow you down if you're firing behind your shoulder. Please don't flame me if this has already been discussed or solved, I'm just trying to add my 2 cents.

If that's the case, all ranged players will die for sure.

Yes i've seen a lot of arguments that we should be able to run faster than ranged people.I have to agree that if this was the case then there would be no real way for a ranged person to escape. As it is, TK are faced with teh challenge of getting withing range. That's where the tactic comes into play. I agree that kiting sucks but nothing says you have to chase them.

if pistoleers and such arent looking where they are running they should trip over rocks and stuff. . .

...and explode on impact

The thing that worries me is that our problems with beinng kited will only increase once mounts come out. A TKA better make sure he has the fastest mount out there or he'll absolutly lose any and every fight with a ranged opponent. (and incidentally yes, the devs have already stated that players will be able to fight from the backs of their mounts.)

Pick up CH line or faction pets and kitting wont be a problem. Hide you melee title too.

maybe a solution to this is that specials cannot be fired while moving.. and letting melee attack while moving, yes kiting would still happen bur at least we wouldnt get nailed by eyeshot as they run just out of reach...

Kiting is a problem.. That's why I always carry my gurrek when I do some PvP. Of course, a shooter with a gurrek would have more firepower, but 30 ranged defense that a TKM has makes up for it. It is kinda uneven still, that's why I recommend becoming a medic.

In other words, if you're a TKM, become a MCH.However, a master pistoleer/MCH would do better in my opinion. Therefore,TKMs need improvements in ranged defense, for instance.

I was thinking about becoming a pistoleer myself, after going 1 on 1 vs a master sharpshooter, but my pet ended it all.
