Thread: Just can't decide...
Need some advice...
Gonna do either master pistols or master rifle with master BH...
My interest is primarily in NPC marks...
Am i gonna struggle with master pistols against high level marks?
When giving advice keep in mind that i have access to high level equipment for either rifle or pistol.
I would say Master Rifleman, you got good range and excellent damage.
The damage you put out will help with those elite boss marks with fast regen. rates.
As with pistols you will not struggle if you find a pistol with low sac and decent dmg.
One advantage with pistols is the Root Shot which helps with kiting.
A pistol with a sac of 65 will do nicely, combine that with some blob candy and your action bar will be in good shape.

Yeah im sure your right. I haven't played a ranged prof post-cu though...is there a penalty anymore once a mob closes range? Furthermore is there any particular advantage that a pistoleer may have over a rifleman (besides stopping shot)?
No there is no range penaltys as far as I know of.
Pre-CU I do know pistols are best effective less than 20m and rifles are best effective greater than 20m
I use a advanced laser rifle and I do the same amount of damage if the target is 50m away or 2m away.
Yeah thats what i thought. I guess im gonna go with rifles prolly more for the better min damage than anything else. Any advice on how to actually go about fighting a NPC mark with this temp...you know as far as setting up and ordering my specials for maximum effect. Total noob here...

For the rookie, I would suggest a healing droid to go along to help you heal.
Get some skills from the medical tree, those help alot. Buy some Bio Engineered clothes that help in healing effieicency or ranged and melee defense.
Foods help alot below is a list of foods from the sticky that you should look for (thanks to the original poster for this great info):
Crispic - For Accuracy I believe 40 + Ranged?.
Deuteryum pyro- Also Great for Accuracy but a shorter time limit than crispic..
Elshanndru Pica thundercloud for Defense vs Melee ( Since Foods are buged,If you are a ranged prof you eat ranged def food to protect from melee)
Blob candy - Action Regen
Kanalil waffers- health regen and extra health stats.
Vagnerian canape - Granted Extra Health good Action Regen and Stable Mind Regen.
Breath of Heaven - Exactly like Vagnerian but has better stats.
Zatannta Brandy Ruby- Lowers Stimpak Time rounds!! very important
Bacta Toss Enchancer- Very Very Helpful..
Also please do not forget your 19+ Healing eff shirt.. Bandolier.. that helps too..
Spice - Booster Blue
Exo protein waffers- Tanking food
Synth Steak- tanking food
Brandy- Goods attritbutes
Mandolian wine: Also Great drink for attributes
Parwan Nutricake - Great for Running, You can Consume as much as you want for infinite BR into your stomach is full. ( for Get Aways and catching up to the jedi if he she trys to make a break for it)
For specials, use critcal shot and head shot when your action bar gets low continue to use ranged shots to let it regen.

Cool. Im gonna be 4000 CM and im set on food/clothing ect...very comfortable with how to use all this efficiently. What i really need advice on is tactics. I know that this may not be the best place to ask but you have already been so helpful i thought i might be able to pick your brain some more
