Forgive me for such a newbie question, but I haven't played the game since october and alot has changed. Is the launcher pistol blast damage good against anything?

Most hunted mobs on Endor also are vuln blast but 40-80% heat. So it's good for endor if you got brandy and mind buff....spam special city lol

you both might mention that you probably have at least a few pistoleer spechials! otherwise the LP is not worth that much. no?

It's good for generating lag...



J/k. Blast damage. Just do an /ex of your target and see what it's vuln to. If it's got nothing against blast, go for that. The LP has no AP though, so remember that. It's natural prey are at/sts and turrets.

The pistol specials are nice when you're just starting out.. hard to hit anything with a FT, but the LP seems to hit more with the marksman skill..

I used mine the other night while hunting with my guild. All I got were comments on the lag. I'm seriously considering not mastering commando again after I'm done holo grinding. It's so not group friendly and soloing is boring.

At the level I'm at it's still useful (plus I picked up a little pistoleer skill while getting the damn combat xp). I tend to use it as a long range weapon to bring stuff within decent flamer range.

Ya, blast damage is great. Too bad the gun sucks unless you have a bunch of pistoleer junk.

I have only just started on Commando as I am taking a break from Smuggler/Pistoleer, but it was great fun as master smuggler/pistoleer spamming last ditch at the speed cap.


I have since had to drop master pistoleer to carry on up commando, but I can still use fan shot at prety much the cap.

A launcher pistol is good for pistoleers lol. Well commandos with some pistoleer skills. Certain Nightsister have weak blast resist like the spellweavers, protectors and stalkers. Since i do not have pistoleer skills i rely on rocket launcher, costly but effective

Hehe, I was Master Pistoleer and dropped it to get Master Commando. Now I'm dropping Commando and coming back to Pistoleer. Commando needs waaaaaaay too much work. I'm not going to invest that many skill points for 1 decent weapon line.
