There are much better Launcher Pistols.

You should look around some.

Go to Nabbo......City of Coriban and look in Sejanus's shop.

Hey, I am a master pistoleer and now I am going commando. Right now, I am using a Launcher Pistol that is like a 2.6 speed 63-1?? damage. It is definately doing the trick, but I was wondering if I should just try to find a better one to use and stick with it until I master commando?

Anyone who is a Master Pistoleer, tell me what you think. I really like the speed and defense bonuses with the pistol and as of right now I see no need to use any of the other weapons yet. I am only 1020 commando though.

Any advice? Any suggestions on where to find a nice Launcher Pistol?

Ok here is my two credits worth.The commando/pistoleer combocanbe a very deadly combo. If I were you I would getdo all theless then fun things out of the way first, heavy weapons, acid rifle, etc. leave the flame thrower tree for last (that is an opoin I did flame first, seemed like forever before I got the other dones, since I was having too much fun burning things to the ground). Anyway,being that I am a Master Commando, and have been a master Pisoleer as well, keep the launcher pistol, however try obtaining a better one. Also pick up a nice republic blaster, and perhaps a scout blaster, and oh yea if memory serves me right, you also should be able to pickup a tangle pistol, (be prepaired to spend alot of money on these) you want the best you gotta pay. For now, acid rirfle's are still in my opion utterly usless, unless you find that mythcial npc that is vulneralbe to acid damage. The heavy weapons are a mixed bag rocket launchers are ok, so are the partical cannons, as far as nades go, and the lightning cannon go get some if you want them. The heavy weapons are excellent for takeing out the lairs, and thebases you get on missions, for the xp, but are of not much useother then that. Keep your pistol handy, when hunting, I use mine to aggro the victom to me, usually start with health one, and then helath two, stop shot, if they are able to still close with me, i use the knock down, and then switch to flamethower, usually hit with single flame one then followed with falme 2, then switch back to pistol. Barring most if not all force sensitves, and the more uber monsters, this tactic usally takes out 80-90% of every thing I attack (there are of course exceptions.) By all means keep yourpistoleer skills, they are invaluable, you may also want topickup novice scout, the ability to harvest animal resources can be very useful in paying your reoccuring costs.Also as you start makeing the money if you have not already done so, pickup some good composit armor.Well I dont have anything else to add but one final thoughtcareful on the pvp'n. Most (not all) people will not dule you unless you swear not to use your flame specials, funny thing is those same people will not give up their specials (like heal, knock down dizzy, eyeshot, torsoe shot etc. too many to list) Well that's it I hope this opion is of some help to you. Good Luck to you.

ok hes nuts dont listen to him. using your Flame Thrower gets you the exp alot faster then the HAR all you need is heavy wep exp to level Heavy weps and HAR line. Just use the FT. Sheesh

/slap you upside your head.

Yes bassically I am nuts, however the point is still a valid one.

My personal LP is around 2.9 speed 65-208 damage unsliced. My recomendation would be to find one like that and try and get a good speed or damage sliced (one of mine is a 2.5 speed with 208 max damage.)

Man I have one uber LP it does 280 damage and has 2.5 speed does no one else have anything comparable to that? Oh and its non krayt. Maybe i am wrong thinking it is wrong though

mine is a 2.3 spd 288 max damage pre-nerf sliced, i got another post-nerf one i use that is like 2.7 265 max damage sliced. (both were sliced for damage)

I love Pistoleer/Commando combo. My char is 0/2/4/0 Commando, Master Pistol, 0/0/4/0 Smuggler. (Yes I dabble)

Anyway, if you can use KD then FlameSingle while targe is down, you can cause some serious damage. I love using LP with my Master Pistoleer specials and speed/accuracy mods. I also highly recommend the DF line of Smuggler for the ranged KD and Last Ditch is the best pistol attack in game.

Hehe, my lp is my pride and joy. 94-303 every 2.4 seconds (gets over 400 max dmg with a good powerup). Though, believe it or not, its a horrible pvp weapon, as without ap1, fanshot hits for about 15 points against a good set of composite. It's fun to shoot at AT-ST's with it though.

ive been master pistoleer/commando/rogue up until recently. it is an amazing template for turrets and ATSTs. every base raid group should have one or two of these in them.


your base lp made by a good weaponsmith is around 2.6 spd, 219 max. find a sliced weapons vendor and just pick up one with the best speed slice on it.


pistoleer goes very well with commando. good def vs KD, dizzy, intimidate, blind (and more i think), along with the good melee defense and *some* ranged defense of pistoleer makes it one of the best combos imo.
