Pistoleer Archive

Deak,

No science to it at this point. Get a really good scout blaster (weapons make a huge difference). They seem to have very low action cost which is all I use. I craft my own stim Bs so that my downtime and cost is low. get explore from harvesting all the corpses you kill so you can burst run and move over rough terrain better. Camps are nice too for wound regen while afk in the field. Also, check mobs..if they suck, move on and find some more. For example, feral banthas are about 800 XP and die before they reach me, Dune banthas are 900 XP, and have 3x the HP as a feral bantha..go figure

I dont wear armor for faster regen...that might help as well.

Jaegen - 45k an hour? Is that soloing? I can do at best 10k an hour soloing... Any tips on where to hunt or what to hunt? Thanks

Torso shot does the exact same damage as BS 3, and it causes a fire dot on top of it. I have no idea about dodge, I have +30 dodge and have yet to see myself dodge anything, so I have no clue if it even works.

I am pretty sure I dodge stuff often. Basically do a little sidestep, I am guessing on that attack I incur zero damage. I am not sure what kind of skill modifier I have, but the only pistoleer skill that I have so far is INT Marksmanship.

Once you get pistolwhip, go to endor with a group and abuse the hell out of that skill. Anything that comes singly in endor you can solo. For pvp eyeshot is the skill to use, either that or healthshot followed by torsoshot spammed if you're a bh, or bodyshot3. Stopshot does nice damage, but it hits a random pool. Pistolwhip2 does great damage for the action spent, but it doesn't knock the target down. IMO the fastest way to xp is to go to endor with a group of 5-8 and at least one doctor, and kill stuff as fast you can. Y ou need at least one person in the group who can knockdown however, since endor mobs will hit you for 500+

You've got to be kidding me! I'm doing 350 dmg w/ BS2 right now as a novice pistoleer(haven't gone up any trees yet). Are these numbers correct or is it the pistol I'm using that's making a difference (48-120dmg 2.2 spd)? I'm confused.......

Aryus,

BS3 does more than BS2, it's the weapon. With a 2.0 speed FWG at max 140 listed, I can hit over 500 with BS3, for instance.

My pistol is a 45-167 damage fwg, and my body and torso shots go up to 600-700 or so. Sometimes more.

Mameluke,

I read somwehere that disarm2 (the master pistoleer skill) has a chance to knockdown as well (SWG strategy guide I think it was...it was eitheran error, or not). Have you tried this disarm2 in a duel to see what it does, if anything? Thanks for all your input on the boards...we're info starved

not to be mean or anything if you hit master pistoleer already you need to get some sunlight or sleep, the millions of xp required i estimated are 100's of hours.! Get a life =-)! o and tell me what you are killin for xp =D!

Ahh....I would hope so...thanks for the clarification

How's Double Tap? I'm trying to figure out which tree to go up next, I already have advanced in the Melee tree (which is different exp, so I guess it's irrelevant). Also just cleared through the Pistol Tactics tree...Gunslinger, you gotta love that title.

I just know what to kill, and I lead good groups :-P I got 900k xp in an 8 hour killing session. I got a bud of mine 80k scout xp in one night on endor, since we had a good group and he was the only harvester. Besides, I'm stuck in a college town and all my friends are home for the summer, so, here I am :-p I haven't tried disarm shot 2 yet actually, I'll give it a go when I can log into the game again.
