Ive almost mastered Fencer and hopefully someone out there can answer this question for me...

Assuming the Dodge cap is 125, is it worth doing enough of Pistoleer to reach the dodge cap or will it not make much difference?

Look at the state defenses in the 3rd tree of pistoleer:

vrs Stun +40
vrs Dizzy+40
vrs Blind +40
vrs Knockdown +50
vrs Posture Change +20

That, is handy to have. As was said, its a fair number of points to sacrifice to get though (novice markmen, pistol tree, novice pistoleer, then the tree + any others)

If you have the points, then yes. You see, by getting 1-0-4-0 Pistoleer you cap your dodge (assuming your a master Fencer) and you add a ton of defense vs everything. The most important part and probably most over looked is that the third line of Pistoleer also holds Ranged Mitigation 1 and 2 makeing it that much harder for rifleman to kill you.

It takes 54sp's to cap your dodge and get the third tree in the pistoleer line. If you have the extra skill points, may as well dabble in it.

Look on the fencer forums for info on this, i could tell you, buy i dont remember to be honest. I personally am going to master fencer, but not go into pistoleer at all, for SP reasons.

I am stupid......I can explain......

I usually read the Eclipse forums first, then head over to the fencer forums.

And I just got home from running a half marathon after getting 4 hours of sleep the night before.

Honestly, I'ld say it's not worth the sp's to get pistoleer. If your worried about defenses, dabble in TK.

master TK/Master Fencer/pistoleer 1/0/4/0 and 1/0/3/0 medic works well for me
