Thread: How to catch a pistoleer?
For one, with the usual kiting it takes a certain amount of time to catch them, but when you do, you can't KD them to keep them still since they get a +50 defense to KD (which i think is insane). So they just get up and run off again - and even though you're "closer", with the stupid lag and melee range you're never actually close enough to hit.
Changing the posture doesn't work either most of the time because of the silly amount of defense they get against that (likewise for dizzy).
Anyone?
Like this:
Warcry
Burst run to them and kd+dizzy till they do kd
Slap em like a wet fish.
). if we run a away, lunge, and then repeat. once you get in close enough, you outdamage us anyways!!
You've got a pretty decent defense vs posture change IIRC, so lunge doesn't always work.
And I will hit the crap out of a pistoleer if he stands there, but if they're running and shooting, even if i'm close I won't hit because of the lag - "Out Of Range" just keeps popping up.
So yeah, all I seem to do is chase pistoleers spamming lunge in a hope they kneel. Most pistoleers aren't that good and will stand there, but others I just can never catch 
a rather sneaky yet effective trick is to equip a t-21 rifle and naturally dont have your tka title up.. watch the pistoleer runtowards youand when he/she get in unarmed range or close to it , introduce them to your tka moves
oahep acto teras kasi master / master gunfighter / master smuggler
unarmedlunge2+ warcry2do wonder ... but you have to be master brawler, sorry.

yeah, that one worked 2 or 3 times on me
now I always w8 for the first shot and once I see any ranged person closing in on me, I just run away. my acc is good enough not to miss all the time, and a lot of people got melee classes next to their ranged ones.
I made a PvP macro.
/unarmedlunge1;
/follow;
/warcry1;
/unarmedknockdown2;
/intimidate1;
After using this I start thorwing unarmed hit 3 and it usually works out rather well. Even if only 1 or 2 of these stick they give you a good headstart. 
heres another trick...
go ranged too! lol, get some BH KD orcarbineer and just ranged KD them, waltz up and smack the crap out of them.
yea I just checked it out,
you could go master TK, master pistoleer, and be 4/4/4/3 in medic if you needed healing ability .
what if we don't want to pick up ranged
A gun is a cowards weapon
Atone, seriously can you shush?
I know you need to chest thump in order to compensate for shall we say.. other small body parts but really..
Anyways, just pick up charge shot 1. Its a KD, never fails and has no timer. Also, the devs say its working as intended. its in the carbineer tree.
Or, Run from them lol...
Seriously, run into building, hide behind something, make THEM get closer... then when they do Burst run to them.
If a pistoleer starts running away, go the opposite direction. This really pisses them off and will eventually give up on you and will change attention to another target. Then move on in an KD-Dizzy their ass.
