Well Put Drevin

Im pure offensive and been a MBH/MP since they dropped the Master Scout requirments.. Now post CU i picked up Smuggler 4000 for ConcussionShot, PanicShot and LastDitch! Concussion is perfect for a 20sec break from combat giving you time to Heal, regain som Action or just watch your enemy standing there helpless..

PanicShot is just like DisarmingShot from Pistoleer and i think they still stack so you can really reduce your enemys speed for a few seconds!

Last Ditch is now post-CU a last ditch and mostly usefull in PvP as a last throw at someone when you have between 100 and 500 Health left

...Pistoleer is great, and i love Pistols so its just natural for me to be a MBH/MP! Only thing that bothers me is the 35m range - i dont really understand why we are forced to operate within so close distance??

I can recommend it as a PvE and PvP template

Im MBH/MP/CM 4000 and enjoy this temp better than any. Pistols compliment MBH from a defensive standpoint (pistols have better def than carbs or rifles) With the right pistol (low SAC) and some good speed mods i think u would agree that it is a great temp. If u have any doubts, check out the pistoleer forum. Badger is 1 of the best correspondants out there and will prove to be more than helpful I'm sure.

My Heavy Lighting Rifle has a sac of 59 when Puped(damage is 1070 non sliced). + I can kite your sorry pistoler butt, so your defenses are meaningless.

Never lost to a MBH/MR in a duel ever post-CU and sertainly not pre-CU
- But thise duels have been within citys so they have lost their ranged bonus, might have turned out diffrent if it was up in the Dune Sea..

I recently switched from a MBH,MP, Carb 0400, novice medic w/ +25 healing eff.

to MBH, MP, CM 4000. FS ranged speed (3 boxes)

To me, the bottom line is that in order to effectively hunt full templates now, some serious healing is in order. I hunted for some time with my previous template. Sometimes I was successful, but the longer the fight went on, the lower my chances were of surviving. Basically, my healing just didn't keep up.

With CM, that's no longer an issue..Plus, my speed is as good as ever with SEA's..And I easily make up for the lost accuracy with a quick drink of pyro..

I just switched to MBH/MP/CM 3 x x 1 its great, snare againt Jedi and 1k damage per heal.

I personally could not stand pistols. Going through multiple suits of armor does not tickle my fancy, nor my budget. I respec'ed to MRM and I never looked back. I do not like being in a Jedi's range at all. I don't understand how you can keep yourself constantly healed and kite at the same time while being in range against a Jedi's roots and snares.

That can be very different, I was Rifleman once but I though it was so boring so I never Mastered it. Then I respec'ed to Carbineer instead, I liked it but after a few weeks that got old as well. Now I was out of respecs and wanted to try something new so I Mastered Pistoleer and I love it. Things like these are different for each person, don't expect that everyone in the universe wants to be Rifleman just because it has longer range. I like the Pistoleer attacks and my superior Scatter.

Well to the poster, I would recommend you do your MBH/Mpistoleer thing and learn some Smuggler, and slice stuff, because it seems like that what you really want to do.

Personally though, I like my temp: MBH MCM Pistoleer 0004. I can kill full temp jedi and regular players aren't even much of a challenge anymore. I think I've lost 1 or2 PvP fights, and they were to triple melee temps that i got too close to...

I never expected anything, I was talking about myself.

I felt I could tank all night, but my damage output seemed low. I am using a dmg sliced KDY-21 (or whatever the heck that pistol is we get from Boba that Zam used) Max dmg is over 900 on it, mod DPS is about 560. Its a kenetic pistol too. My Trando Sup pistol has a mod DPS of 597, but the max dmg is like 750ish with a 150ish elemental dmg. It just didn't seem to pack the punch of the KD, and the KD just didn't seem to pack the punch of a rifle or carbine with the same or even lower stats...is that just the Xmultiplier on the special? In most cases...the damage floating over the elite mark's head from Critical shot was in the high 700s to low 800s. Quickdraw was doing about 450ish. THis was pretty much the case across the board on all the marks last night.

Will a temp like that do okay vs jedi?
