Thread: Can you use Launcher Pistol effectively with only marksman skills?
The LP with only master marksman skill is as good as any other pistol with only those skills. Master marksman is no great feat and the rewards for having it are not that great.
Someone may be able to solo an AT-ST with just a LP but I'd have to see it to beleve it.
I use torso shot with the LP, it seems to get the job done. Oh, if u have pistol whip that works well with torso combo.

AT-ST's have approx. a 20K HAM. Go after one with an LP and only Marksman skills to back you up, and you will die. Unless you have a lot of time and patience and are able to use the Bleed, Burst Run combo for about an hour without getting incapped.
Also, remember that AT-ST's (unless you have premium armour) are 1 - 2 shot killers. In other words, you don't have a lot of time to get away from them.
If buffed, on drugs, and have food eaten, and 80%+ resists on your armor, a personal shield gen,and after the blast protection is gone (in 1-2 weeks according to the TC being updated today)... and if you have seriously spammed body shot 2... Then yeah, I'd say MAYBE you could. But if you really want to be effective, you'd have to get some more advanced moves. And you'd also need to be a medic to heal yourself if needed (and pray you dont get hit in the head).
C-3PO says the chances of surviving an AT-ST attack with just marksman skills and a LP are 32,560 to 1!
I would like something to use against an AT ST once they are vuln to blast, but I don't want to go up the commando, bh, or pistoleer lines.
Is the launcher pistol any good in pvp if only used with marksman skills?
I will be master carbineer, with enough rifle to DB at range. I have enough points left to go up the commando line to FT4 for when I'm rushed, as well as grab feign death.
I only ask about he launcher pistol and an AT ST because I want a weapon that I can attack one with in a group, but don't want to use any points in pistol besides what I've been given in markman.
