on test center i recently made a pistoleer with almost that exact same template except 4000 tka instead of novice medic
let me tell you- it is VERY fun
intimidate, 3 bleeds, torsoshot, fanshot, stopping shot, pistol whip, eye shot, meditate (with powerboost), force of will..... it is a VERY fun template
i wished i had medic though, but with buffs it didn't even matter lol, plus being able to meditate those wounds was a nice perk
but the best thing about that template: hands down- the launcher
making things go boom is just one of the greatest things ever, especially setting them on fire with torsoshot

well, mainly what im asking about his template ...since i am an older member of the swg pvp scene.... is.. can it be very viable against all the melee defense stackers in terms of hitting them... and does blast damage make a big difference.... Most composite doesnt guard blast right?

in pvp the blast dmg sucks
padded's special protection is blast, so is mabari's..... composite's base includes blast, so having a 90% blast resist can wreak havoc on your dmg
the benefit though, is psg's are vuln to blast... but you're better off with a de-10 or republic blaster
the launcher pistol, however, is VERY effective against jedi since it bypasses most of a jedi's saber block
and as it should, a glowy stick can stop lasers, but not guided missles lol

isnt the launcher ap0 ?
if so, shooting it at composite would be like using an fwg5...something that you do not want to do hehe. regarless of the damage since you are gonna take a 50% reduction cause of the armor rating differance.
vs jedi its not so bad, but why not use something ap1 and get 25% damage bonus on their eye-ball

For PVP blast is very useful against turrets and AT's. You'll probably wantsomeone to tank the turret for you though while you take it down with the LP.

This is what I was going to say.. LP is useful for taking down turrets. The LP is also great against night sisters since they are usually vulnerable to blast.

Commando novice/M.Pistoleer/N.medic/BH pistols
Has anyone tried to do this template with a Launcher pistol?
Specifically, has anyone had success in using a damage experimented slow speed LP with all the speed and accuracy from those classes?
I stumbled on this and wondered if someone knew about this template.... i had heard a few long time ago....

good idea, but doesn't work........
everyone is intrinsicly vulnerable to all dmg types, so ap doesn't matter at all
also about the turret/at-st tip, /doh! i totally forgot lol
in pvp, it's basically the only use, but it's a VERY good one, and the only way you can effectively take down turrets and at-st's

A friend of mine is currently nearly that exact template, he is a Master Rifleman, Bounty Pistols 0020, Novice Commando, Novice medic, and Pistols 0002 i believe. catch is, against someone who uses a PSG.... if you have a really really good launcher pistol, im talking pre-nerf in the hi 300's or easy 400's with a powerup, you will utterlydecimate stackers. Here is the catch, you have to realize you will be doing a lot of swithing between master rifles and this pistol, so it can be completely ineffective against some people.

Can anyone actually confirm that the launcher pistol bypasses saber block? I've seen varying claims about this, but most people seem to agree that saber block works against everything, even flamethrowers. That's not to say, of course, that DoT's don't go through, but I'm interested in whether the primary attack actually hits those pesky jedi.

I took out two Jedi at once using the LP with fan shot. I dont think they were expecting it as they were focused on other prey. Here's the thing...with MP/BH pistols, you can fire most LPs at the speed cap and if you even land one good stoppingshot or lastditch...well, the damage against an un-armored jedi is pretty significant....my 430+ LP with last ditch hits for over 3500 most times, completely devastating even buffed jedi.
I have no #s to prove it, but I blieve there IS some truth to the above rumors.
