Dancer Archive

What are good stat migrations for such a profesion. My character is aTwilek, dancer/working on pistoleer (right now working on getting pistol specialist.

Is master Pistoleer a good profesion and how does dancer improve, if so, in any way my pistoleer.

What are the advantages of higher rank?

As someone who's also doing both, my recommendation would be to leave your stats as they are if your action and mind are fairly high. The pistol specialty shots (Health, Body, Melee) drain your action and mind very fast, so it's important to keep those as high as possible.

I don't plan on going to master pistoleer, as I won't have enough points for that and I'm going for master ranger. I'm only going for a couple more specialty shots and pistol whip. Can't say I noticed that my dancer skills have directly affected my pistoleer skills, though the hunting parties I've joined in on are very appreciative of a Dancing Pistoleer Ranger

I like pistoleer as a fighter skill because you don't have to worry nearly as much about positioning when fighting. The downside is you are going to get hit alot more as a pistoleer than as a carbine or rifle spec. As a master dancer you gain defensive skills vs range and melee so being a dancer can assist you in your fighting. There are no bonus's towards dancing when you master a combat class however.

When my Twi'lek dancer started fighting on a more regular basis I mitigated someaway from action and into health. If you are going to be actively dancing do not mitigate away from stamina or quicknessas these two stats are important to be able to continue dancing for long term. I believe I mitigatedaction down from 1200 to 1000 and put 150 of that into health and 25 each to constitution and strength.

I'm not real big on any of the fighter classes so I can't say what's the best way to go the highest any of my characters have in fighting is novice pistoleer, which is as far as I'm taking my architect (I'll have to drop it at some point) but that gives the 2nd bleed and makes fights against yellows and ocassional low reds a good possibility, based on my ability to burst run and kite for a bit.

I'm working on master pistoleer (already master dancer). I move some of my action regen points (constitution maybe?) up into health. I have 1000 health and 1250 action and the regen stats are around 600 each I believe. I left mind very low. I have very rarely died to mind wounds. However if you are into pvp you might want to change it. My str is as low as it can go also, I don't think it's really necessary.

Do you know by any chance the benefits of rank (imp, reb)?

Your rank increases the amount of faction points you can store. I new rebel can only have up to 1000 points, he either spends those or he wastes anything more he gets. If you get corporal or whatever is next, youre allowed to maybe have 5000 points before you have to spend them. I'm not sure of the exact numbers but that's what rank does for you.

Since both dancer and pistoleer primarily use the green, I would max out all three green stats. After that, it really is based on your fighting style.

Do you constantly get incap because you don't have enough health? Increase health.

Does it always seem like your sitting down waiting for your mind pool to come back? Increase willpower (mind regeneration).

Etc... do it gradually based on your fighting.

As for the reb/imp ranks. Their only real benefit is to increase the maximum amount of faction you can have. (which is needed if you want to buy an AT-ST or something).

I am a Lance corporal, only second rank in the list. I can already get an at-st althoug it costs a great deal of faction points. That is why I ask again what good is rank for then? I'm wondering if it will make the cost of armor, weapons, troops, at-st less expensive (faction point wise.)

Yes... But it is only +7 defense. Do not think you will become the uber pistoleer because you are a dancer.

heh. thats a bonus i hadn't heard of. nice to get surprsises like that. and here i thought i was just dancing for the fun of it.
