Hey ho,
I noticed you once said your spec was;
Master Pikeman
Master Pistoleer
Smuggler 0-0-4-0
Teras Kasi 4-0-0-3
I was wondering how this is in PvP. I am trying to decide whether I should get Fencing (x-4-4-0) and Master Brawler or Smuggler (0-0-4-0) for the knee shot thingie and Pistoleer to be able to fight at range. I'd appreciate any info on how your spec works in PvP, especially without having Novice Medic.Any stories or experiences would do. I'm also curious to know if you do as well as pure 'melee' pikemen in PvE with Pistoleer/Smuggler, but I don't see why you shouldn't.
So basically I'm wondering if sacrificing Fencer, Brawler and Novice Medicis worth getting 0-0-4-0 Smuggler and Pistoleer.
Thanks.
PS: I decided not to use a PM for these questions because it's pretty general and some people might be able tocontribute as wellor get useful info from this thread.

Eh, it's ok I guess. I dueled one of my TK guildies the other day....he had 70% armor and buffs, the duel lasted 12 minutes because we couldnt do damage to each otehr (my armor is 83%-89%). In the end my food ran out and i lost mind, allowing him to get a few head hits in and incap me.
As far as the rest of pvp: I'm not impressed with the Pistol/Last Ditch combo. I'm using a 1.4 63-330 republic blaster and not only miss a lot, but don't do as much damage as I think Ishould be doing.
Overall I have fun with it, but I'm not one of those people getting tons of kills.

Personally, I may go smuggler, just for the fact of opening those damn containers in the caves. I HATE fighting a bunch of Nightsisters, only to find that every container is locked, and we don't have a smuggler with us. While the Borgle Batmen/women make millions macro-camping.....but that is another whole topic I don't want to get into.

Don't go Smuggler if this is what you're doing it for. Smuggler's can't open those containers. The containers are broke just like 80% of this game.

The magseals in the caves act no differently with smugglers than non-smugglers. They can't be sliced open if they are locked (currently).

I've seen smuggler friends open them up in the caves. Since when has that been an issue?

Hmm. Maybe it's the Scylla server but I haven't been able to open any different containers in the caves when I was a Smuggler than I can when I'm not. It's been about 2 months since I wasa Smuggler though so perhaps SOE actually fixed something.
