Thread: PVP Action template?
Master pistoleer, very simple combo:
/suppressionfire
/stoppingshot - till dead.
I am a Master Pistoleer and a Master Smuggler. Bleeds do not work the same in pvp, and should be used only when you have someone down, and note your combat spatial to see if they are defense stackers. If they are, don't waste your HAM with bleedshots, because unless you take an extra round for /aim. assuming you even have the Ranged Support line, you are going to miss.
I use the following:
Start with /lowblow, and hope for the KD. Then try a /panicshot to delay them after they get up to not be able to attack, then either /stoppingshot or /lastditch. I have used /fanshot also instead of lastditch. Lastditch you need to be careful using in conjunction with lowblow and panicshot, because your Action HAM suffers. Use Tatooine Sunburst to regenerate them faster, or just get buffs. Also, be careful not to aggro anything else in the area with panicshot.
There are so many mitigating circumstances here though. If you are fighting another ranged toon, you should work it to your advantage best you can. You have great dodge, so get in a good range, kneel, and just work your specials.
If you are fighting melee, heck.. good luck! I lose a lot to melee. Sometimes pistolwhip1 works, but it's rare.
One little secret, when fighting melee who isn't defense stacking, nothing beats /pointblanksingle2 and /pointblankarea2. Very underrated. They work very well.
If you manage to lowblow a melee, and you have them within 5m, use the pointblanks.
