master pistol

bh 0040

fencer 0340 or 0430

no points left

that gives you huge defense vs KD, dizzy, posture down, and 1h COB if you really wanna get funky....and melee mitigation 2 and yes it works when you arent using a 1h weapon

or give up all that for last ditch and feign death.....personally i like eye shot and torso shot both better than last ditch. dont get me wrong, last ditch is nice with the stun and all....but random pool sucks. eye shot is just fine

It's funny you mentioned that template. I was just thinking I might go that route. From the things I have heard about the CU/RB though I am guessing that would be a bad long term template.

The upcoming smuggler FD change made me rethink taking the DF line. Instead of black barring you they'll be able to triple incap you once that change goes live.

I think I will go with that template though at least until the CU/RB. After that I can always lose the fencer and take some medic.

Most people don't know the potential behind this. Being able to heal is battle is by far better than having BH 0040 and Novice Commando. You can always temporarily take up Novice Commando for base takedowns.

Medic is important, extremely important, especially for those who like to solo.

Once you get medic its hard to go without it.


But I been out of game for a long time so giving up medic was easy for me! lol...

I had MP and BH pistol and was going to throw the rest into fencer, was at 0230, but then decided I rather go with DF4 seeing how the CURB is going to get rid of defense stacking. So I dropped all the fencer and got DF4. The hardest part was getting through unarmed.

trick w/ unarmed brawler is to get a speed sliced VK ..like 1.2-1.7 speed ... you take off a bit less but you attack at like 1 sec per instead of 3 or 4 in the beginning ... REALLY helps out

Ya... I did the grind 3x before and everytime I go through unarmed I think: Never again. Yet for some reason I always end up going through it again.

I got a 1.6 speed VK for the grind.


But really, unarmed isn't that bad. Just go berserk and attack junk. But that 1-3 for all begining professians is always hard for me because they are annoying. You're not skilled enough to go do quenkers on Dant or to really take any missions so you're stuck running around static citys killing whatever you find for an hour or 2 until you finally reach the 3rd box and can go to Dant for that last one.

Even marksman is irrating for me until those 4th tier boxes.

I"m just about finished mastering pistoleer, and also have bh pistol 4. (Pretty easy with blue leaf temple+nice scatter pistol and fan shot) This is my first pistoleer character and I'm fairly unwise in it's workings. So....my question to all of you pistoleers out there is this:

With my remaining 61 skill points, what template should I invest in to acquire the be-all end-all of pvp pistol templates.

The threads open for arguements, I'm sure many people have many contradicting views on what this might be. All helps appreciated.

Alright here is my template as of today;

Master Pistoleer
Bounty Hunter Pistols 4
Fencer Techniques 2
Novice medic

This gives me the defensive stats;

Defense vs Blind +50
Defense vs Dizzy +50
Defense vs Intimidate +10
Defense vs Knockdown +50
Defense vs Posture Change +20
Defense vs Stun +40
Dodge +150
Melee Defense +62
Ranged Defense +37

Eventually I will be dropping medic for more fencer defenses I think.

I have Master Pistols, Master Smuggler, TKA 0004, Fencer 1010, Force Ranged Def 1 as well as novice medic.
My dodge is capped out along with my melee def and my ranged def is 90 something. This used up all my skill points.
