Thread: What do you think of this template?
Thanks everyone I meant to have the medic be 2/2/4/0
Just mistyped. And the reason I still have Ranged 1 is I had 3 extra pts to play with.
I thought about Fencer too but since the defensive bonus' are apparently not stacking anymore and the upcoming combat fix. I figured to go the way of my template! Let me know if you have any other suggestions and thanks for all of your help!
I've been thinking of doing something very similar. The Smuggler forum is the place to find out if the pistol tree is really worth the investment. I'm thinking that it is. One question: Why is your medic 0,0,4,4? Would seem to me a better profile if it were 2,2,4,0 and go buy the meds rather than make them. Just a thought.
Good luck with your ideas.
If you are a Master Gunfighter, then yes the Smuggler Dirty Fighting line is WELL worth going up.
Last Ditch is the most powerful damage multiplier attack out there for pistols (6x I believe), plus Low Blow gives you a ranged KD, and panic shot is a delay.
All of which are better then any pistoleer specials with the exception of Fan shot since its an AOE shot.
Nope ranged/Meelee still stack, and they probably will continue too, most likley, (in my guess) what will happen is what happened to CH's, the defense mods will get spread out....
Personally I like 2/0/3/0 medic for that template......Lets you use stim C's, and you can stop bleeds....
*sigh* stupid tab button 
....
What phil was probably refering too was not the dodge bonus in the fencer line....but the meelee/ranged defense....
If you buy 4/0/0/0 fencer, you get +69 ranged/meelee defense (even more then the whole TKA tree lol).....
Even nov fecncer has +15 range/meelee defense, and every box in the first line has either +12-+15 range/meelee defense, its an excellent investment of 35 points 
Are you planning on keeping Chef with that template? If so, you may want to pop into the chef forum and look at the new effects on the new food.
There are alot of interesting effects on food, but the one thing that seems to be lacking is high end buffs anymore. Supposidly the new food has been balanced to accomodate the new Combat system that is coming but there are alot who a screaming this is a Chef nerf. I'm a Master Chef/Master Carbineer and haven't decided if the changes are good or bad yet.
Just wanted to give you a heads up in case your keeping Chef strictly for the buff power as that may change the strategy you are planning into your template.
Bash
Def. against xxxxx and ranged/melee defense still stack, so I would suggest going up the pistoleer tree (0/0/4/0) for some great defenses. 40 def stun/dizzy/blind, plust 65 def KD (50 from pistol, 15 from carb) and 25 def knockdown.
Plus with that doc thing of yours you can buff yourself. Sounds pretty good to me.

all defenses still stack. there has been NO nerf that has changed this. No, i'm not keeping chef... right now i'm doing Master Carbineer/Master PIkeman/Swordsman 0-0-4-4, and novice medic. I'm doing chef after i finish off the 2 swordsman trees
