Pistoleer Archive

looks you do not need a master doc buff!!!!!

Migrate your stats smart and use master chef food and you do not need to get doctor buffs to wear composite armor. Also if you just doing pve then wear ubese armor with a good slice you wont need food spices buffs or anything to wear it and be effective as long as you migrate your stats wisley.

Remeber regenration is over rated create a armor marco, and have strong foucus you can heal your dmg with little cost to your mind and when the battle is over take of your armor with the marco and regen.

I saw a guide that mentioned what would be good HAM settings for pistoleer.

Health: High

Str: Semi-Low

Con: Semi-High

Action,Quick,Stam: Very High

Mind: Semi-Low

Focus, Will: Low

Hope that helps you out.

That's not good advice, I'm afraid.

In a game with Mind damage that is very difficult to heal and Action/Health damage that is healed completely with one good Stim B and Novice Medic skills, you need to have good Mind and Willpower stats.

I'd say that you need at LEAST 500 Willpower and at LEAST 800 Mind if you don't want to have serious troubles, and if you want to wear decent armor, you're going to need at least 400 Focus (which is enough for an encumbrance-sliced set of Ubese or a few heavy pieces of Composite).

Keep in mind that those are what I consider to be the lowest viable numbers for Mind and Willpower, not the ideal numbers. Also keep in mind that other people have their own ideas, and that's just my opinion.

I go for:

Health = Medium
Regen = Fairly High
Usage = Low

Action = Medium
Regen = Fairly High
Usage = Medium

Mind = High
Regen = High
Usage = Low

The logic is this: Health and Action can be healed quickly and easily. I hardly lose any health using specials so I keep the Health: Usage at a minimum. I keep both Action and Health: Regen fairly high. I DO lose Action doing specials so I keep Action: Usage reasonable.

Mind is a b1tch, however. I make sure I havehigh Mind and high Mind: Regen (because you use mind to heal the other stats and also you need it toregenerate ifMind is attacked). I don't bother spending much on Mind: Usage because I find it more important for it to be able to regenerate itself.

If my Mind bargets bad I take off my helmet and run away for a bit, trying to regenerate my Mind (doesn't always work ). Then I can heal stuff again and return to the fight.

Great question, BTW.It should be added to new the FAQ if anyone can be bothered to write another one!

It should be worth noting that things will probably change when the new combat system is finalized though!

I think my stats look like

600
400
400

600
400
400

1100
800
800

But then I'm CM first and pistolier second. And I made the choice to be gimp/god instead of just mediocre. Without buffs I'm pathetic, can't use specials at all, tho I can still equip my pve armor (ubese). With buffs (I am rarely without) I am a god. I walk through the land smiting the unbeleivers with extreme prejudice.

Heck.. I'm considering lowering my health and action even further to further pump my mind secondaries.

If I didn't use buffs all the time I'd lower my mind stats and raise my health (keeping the secondaries low), and raise my action and my action secondaries.

But hell... if you use armor without buffs you're a gimp anyways, so go all out and go my route.

The conventional wisdom seems to be that if you're not a big PvPer (and not something like a combat medic?), Mind isn't all that important. True?

Being unhealable its still pretty important. The mind secondaries may be less important.

Not so. I am a master gunfighter with no medic skill, no pets, no buffs, and no armor (and I never PvP). I have 650 mind and never come close to getting incapped from it. You could get by with 500.

My stats are 400 in all doctor buffables and 1000 in each mind stat (human). With doctor and entertainer buffs I have 2k+ to each stat for two hours (when the entertainer buffs end). Durning that time I am a killing machine. I can solo just about anything that I face in PvE and I easily take on three or more player characters at a time.

i use 1k all main bars. master pistoleer master smuggler master tk. 1.5k all ham when i powerboost. no armor unless im fighting for keeps. i pvp everyday and yes, armor rules, but with the rightfriends at your side you dont really need it.hey sensei try making me your bitch i guarantee ill put you on the ground no time flat.

Mind is targetted by mobs and NPCs aswell, not just players.

Oh, I'd like to see that. You with 1500ish stats and no armor, and me with 3000+ stats and 90% composite. Yeah, you'd rape me, I'm sure.
