Just wondering, with this template, what specials can be used with the flame thrower? i went to SWGCommando.com and read this...
"The Bounty Hunter skills offer more pistol speed and accuracy, the ability to very effectively target the health or mind pools, and some nice damage over time shots. The 3 boxes of Investigation allow me to track and hunt Jedi. These boxes can be traded for BH 0043 if you want to use the Light Lightning Cannon effectively.
I have had great sucess with this template in both PvP and PvE. Targeting the health pool with multiple Flame Thrower attacks as well as TorsoShot, BleedingShot, HealthShot2 and StoppingShot is very effective. EyeShot is good against people who heal or have a small mind pool. Grenades and heavy weapons are also nice for a large splash of damage on some targets."

My question is, what special attacks from BH/Pistoleer allow you to target either mind or health pools?
Thanks

Can't speak for the pistoleer (except for Body shot 3), but I know the BH has eye shot with pistol. Eyeshot targets the victims mind pool.

This is possibly my template review 
Master Commando/BH xx4x/Pistoleer xx4x give you TorsoShot, HealthShot2 and BodyShot2 or 3 to target the health pool. TorsoShot causes a nice health burn and HealthShot2 is an ok health bleed. In addition, the Flame Thrower specials have a nice health burn and BleedingShot causes bleeding on all pools including health. Pistoleer specials StoppingShot and FanShot are high damage shots that hit random pools, most often health though.
The only special that targets mind is EyeShot but it is very potent. BleedingShot can cause a small mind bleed but I never count on it for any damage.
Pistoleer offers some good state defenses as well, very handy because you spend less time KD'd.

Actually..
Commando 4.4.0.0
Pistoleer 0.4.0.2
BH 4.0.4.0
Smuggler 0.0.3.0
is excellent combo of firepower , accuracy and ability.
Face it, if you even take a single box in pistoleer or bh pistols your primary weapon is going to be the pistol. Probably the LP since its the boomgun.
You have grenades which jedi cannot block, rockets which you can use vs their vehicles or hit them with from long range as your charge (but rockets are deflected by lightsaber).. you wont need flamethrower or acid rifle as the fight will be over either way before the fire dot has a chance of determining the outcome.
Smuggler gives you ranged KD and ranged warcry shot....
Pistoleer gives you the increased accuracy and melee defense and pistol speed you'll need to use your BH pistol and smuggler pistol specials better.

Why go BH 4 0 4 0 ... when you can go 3 0 4 0 (still hunt jedi .. and the droid tracking speed isn't that much of a benefit at inv 4) .. and spend the extra sp to go Smuggler 0 0 4 0 to get "last ditch"? If your primary kill tool is gonna be the pistol might as well have the best pistol special in the game.
