Would getting the dodge in pistoleer be worth it?

I thought the dev's nerf'd the stacking features. If not that sounds good to me. If you don't enjoy it....change.

Have Fun!

the nerfshouldn't effect the Defense Vs. XXX mod, should it?

From what I understand, the mod dodge, block, counterattack, and other defense will cap at 125, but it's still stackable with multi professions.

You can do the build indicated with 3 points left over; although, you would have to do the first branch of Pistoleer to pickup the dodge bonuses. However, Dodge, Block, and Counterattack are weapon specific. Since Rifles use Block (though the message says counterattack), having a higher Dodge modifier will not help when holding a rifle. I am not certain what TK uses, but it will not help with Rifle. For Dodge, Block, or Counterattack stacking, you need Pistoleer/Fencer, Rifleman/Pikeman, or Carbineer/Swordsman, respectively. Since you are primarily, Rifleman/TK with this build, there is no reason to boost Dodge unless TK can benefit from it, which someone else would have to speak to.

But going with 0 0 4 0 from Pistoleer would add to defenses against state changes. Those are not weapon specific, and you will not cap those even with this build. So that makes it worth while.Also, if you wanted to improve Block, you could drop Pistols and go up Pikeman 0 0 4 0 for the same investment. You would add to Block and still pickup some decent increases to state change defenses. These latter would be higher with Pistoleer, but block would be higher with Pikeman.
