DONT BE A NOOB WITH PISTOLEER
Are you having a tough time PVPing with pistoleer? God forbid you have the mentality that Pistoleer/Bh or Pistoleer/TKM is actually effective. As a previous Pistoleer with all builds the most effective from experiencehappens to be Pistoleer/Master Combat medic. I bet your asking why should I trust you? My answer is simply this.
What you need to own to ownin PvP as a
Master Pistoleer/ Master Comabt Medic
1. Mind Poison Pistol or Fire to the Mind
2. Sick arse Poisons
The reasoning for this is that along with CM poison your applying a double dot with the geo. So either way a poison is going to stick.
This template is my best bet to saving yourself from a trip to the cloner. When PvPing with Pistoleer

And CM has what to do with Pistoleer? Oh, wait, why not just do a Headshot2, mindbleed, then mind poison? Wait, that would go on the Rifleman board....
(Leave Pistoleers with builds that work with them, smuggler, BH, maybe fencer for the dodge, and so on. Sorry, CM does NOT fit in the picture.)

You should of called this dont be a tard and go cm with pistols... it fits better. Its already been stated but why would you make a pistols temp. (who targets health) and waste time and money on some mind dots.. = waste O' time

I must be misunderstanding something. Im not trying to discourage people from adding combat medic to their pistoleer build Im encouraging it. The fact remains the only way to be truly effective in PvP as a Pistoleeris by adding Combat Medic. Your missing the whole picture.
As a comabt medic you can chuck mind blowing poisons and on top of that with a mind poison dot geo or mind fire youl be applying baiscally a double dot. The double dot make sure their will always be a dot that is sticking to your oppenent for he can only heal one at a time. This method worked for me when I was Pistoleer.

Heh - I thought this was going to be a pistoleer bash thread. "Don't be a NoOb - cus Pistoleer is teh SuXzors!" or something like that. Look everyone and their brother know to be a serious PvPer the templatemust includesome combination of TKM/CM/Rifleman/Swordmans/Jedi.
We REAL pistoleersplay this profession because we have fun with it (yes even with all our borked specials), not just so we can dance on someones corpse spouting "U r teh Sux! I7o7ally PWNED JoonOoB!!!!"
So like someone said earlier - post this on the CM board. That's where it really belongs.

This template is for those who want to PvP using Pistols. Any other template with pistoleer to PvP is a waste of time. Its not about Pistoleer targeting the health just as long you ahve a dot pistol and you can stick it someone thats all you need. Just watch the mind go down and chuck a disease. Its icing on the cake.

What constitutes a real pistoleer from a fake one? A Master Pistoleer/Master Combat Medic shouldnt be looked down upon. This build is the only way to have success in PvP using Pistoleer.

Basically if I read this post correctly, the "only" way to be good in PvP is to be a Master Combat Medic and combine that with a Master Combat profession that has a weapon with a Mind Dot. Other combat professions have Mind Dots, so according to what you posted, the two most important aspects for PvP is Combat Medic Master and a Weapon with a Mind Dot.
So then why don't you post this on the Combat Medic forum, since it has no real relavance to Pistoleer at all?
Not that I agree with your comments any. I have seen some very successful PvP players that have no skills in Combat Medic.

This is what Im saying to you. Thats a load of crap. First off this has everything to do with pistoleer for Im trying to explain how it can be lethal.
Second I considered myself to be one of the top Pistoleers in Bloodfin. I had it all. 500+ dmg geo 90% 39% stun armour 55% shield generator best foods and drinks, attachments the whole nine yards
From experience the only shot I had against rifleman against the pikeman was fighting fire with fire. So in return I tryed to figure out the best way to combat them using Pistoleer.
Going CM/Pistoleer was the best choice I ever made. If you want to hate me because your ego will not allow you to explore then so be it. But for all those who like Pistoleerand want to PvP I encourage you. This build kicks arse. Better then any eye shot or torso shot build.

Sorry, but the MAIN weapon will be the CM stuff, with the DOT coming in secondary. The DOT will be the primary thing for Pistoleer. If a person wants to go that route of 'mind' damage, then Rifleman/CM is much better suited.
With the upcoming CURB, they have stated that the mind pool will not be the most important pool to attack anymore. So what good will it do to build a character around attacking the mind when it will no longer be the most important place to attack anymore? Yes, the CURB is still a bit away, but is it wise to alter ones character now, for what? 2-3 months of mind pool damage, assuming they can get a good mind dot pistol? will it be worth all that trouble?
(I think the 'EGO' thing comes into play because the CM part is the PRIMARY aspect of the PVP that will be used. The pistoleer aspect will be based on a DOTed weapon that will be backing up the CM part. DOTs, from weapons do NOT stack, so after you hit it with that first DOT, that is it. That is all you got, is that ONE DOT from that dotted weapon. Even though I am replacing my Pistoleer, I still see this thread in a negative light towards Pistoleers.)

Actually what you have done with your shouting headlineis insult any pistoleer who does not use your template. I do fine as a Pistoleer smuggler I group with a doc get anti CM buffs and kill CMs who pause to through poison.
