Thread: Pistoleers, I need some help.....
Not most of us say it....some of us say it.
Get a SAC capped and damage capped featherweight FWG. Get it sliced for 10% critical. Use a pup that brings down your SAC even more (try for 45). Bring stims to heal as well as ruby. Use intimidate shot and disarming shot. Use quickdraw and cycle through adv crit, imp bodyshot and torso shot over and over. Use food that brings up your action.
To win as a pistoleer you have to be good because you have to go toe to toe with the jedi.
But above all sneak up on them. If you blow your cover....leave and try again later.
Asking others to admit they lose more? Why? Should you consider, maybe, your tactics could use improvement?
The Jedi is not overpowered and you are not underpowered. As a class the Jedi have great strength without the use of armor and SEA's. The Elite classes have the power of many SEA's, greatly crafted armor, and creativly designed weapons. For the Jedi, he spends all his time grinding Jedi to gain this. For the Elite, he spends all his time acquiring credits and loot to achive this.
Make an investment if you want to be more powrful. Spend it in loot and equipment, or spend it in FS grinding, but get better stuff........ And work on your PVP tactics.
This in no way is ment to be flame or insault. You just don't walk off the playground and play professtional ball, it takes an investment in time and training.

I am a Pistoleer/BH and must admit i lose more than i win. (have 3 or 4 full templates to my name) But i have found a new Ally - bomb droids. Nothing says "Holy Sh!t dude!" like 1,000 dmg from a bomb droid. Especially the hate tells after.
holy crap....where can i get one of those bad boys? whats the detonation on those?
Any DE can make them. Quite easy to make too.
I prefer a good combat droid though. The 400 dmg or so every 4 seconds helps a lot.
Get both ranged cybor-arms. This will add 15m to your range, giving you 50m with a pistol. Keep your mark out of melee range, keep him snared and KDed as much as possible. Watch his action and mind. If you can get a KD on when his aciton is low, he can not KD recover until it regenerates. Use line of site and distance for heals and your own regeneration.
Keep at it, duel your friends every chance you get, and get back in there.

thanks for the motivational post! you must not be a pistoleer.
Pre CU I was Master Pistoleer. Keep in mind, I was MBH/MP while the rest were BH/Melee.... it can be done.
Then I tried Mastrer Carbs, then Master Rifle, now I'm trying Master CM. Alas, I have not let go, I still hold Pistole 0004.

I know most of you say that you can take full temp jedi down but I just dont beleive it. I am a pistoleer and have very good equipment and I still have yet to get a win? I can heal very well, I use my specials...we are ALWAYS in range of saber throw, etc....I can usually last awhile against the jedi (longest being 35 minutes)....At least admit that you guys lose WAY more than you win?
Well first study the pcitures in my sig and believe it.... MY template is MBH MCM Pistols 1xx3
here are some tips :
If you follow these two rules and drop the mission whenever you can not engage with these parameters, you will achieve success . There is nothing wrong in doing this. This is the BH way and Jedi's are 1.5 stronger for this reason.
