Pistoleer Archive

I found this link in another thread to a damage per second calculator.

http://killyourpc.org/swg/swg_dps.php

I played with using my VK's stats. Damage didn't look like anything special. 400 range with unarmed hit 3. I forgot the damage mod. On a whim I just added to the damage on the VK and hit 1060 per second. (Didn't think that would be accurate but looking back it is.)

I played with my friends rifle stats. It rangfor 970 per second with a 7.2 speed rifle.

I played with my best pistol (355 damage repub) stats and got a lousy 504.5 on fanshot/roll shot. (Maybe I spam rollshot eh?)

HOWEVER! I added stats for a template with medic, BH pistols 3, and master pistoleer and rolled 1120 damage per second with stopping shot.

Equals TKM and Rifleman right? Damage wise yes, it passes it. But take into account that they can grab 125/125 defense with theirextra skiill pointsto the bh/pistol templatesmeasly 22/47. And don't forget the 2x aiming mod thingy they threw in for fighting ranged against melee.

Anyway.

Well, pistol is good for something to break from the legions of assassins, swashbucklers, and teras kasi mystics. You look unique with a pistoleer title because not that many people have them. But if you doing much fighting. You better have one of those othersas well to survive.

I like my pistoleer. Perhaps it's because I started in February and haven't mastered much else and therefore don't have much to compare it with. However, I know I can walk right up to a Picket lair on Dant and fanshot the heck out of it while hitting the 9-12 pickets around it AT THE SAME TIME for between 1500 and 2500 POD every second. Too cool. I should master tonight or tomorrow, then it's on to master rifleman. Maybe it's just me, but who would play Star Wars with a sword or a pair of vibro knucklers? Come on, that stuff's for EQ, not SWG!

I will cry nerf on force of will.. nerf it!

While it is true that there are professions out there that just totaly blow pistoleer out of the water and makes you want to drop all the pistoleer skill just to go that profession so you can runn off and solo alot of stuff like nightsisters.... I mastered pistoleer a long time ago with Aezia and moved on to TK over five months ago never looing back untill my wife decided she wanted to play also.

Now she first chose the entertainer route, fine to each their own then as the people she knew began moving on to the next holo profession and left her trying to fit in with a new crowd of grinders she became bored. now if you have ever seen a ranged combat person running around wielding their t-21 riffle or their assault carbine you know that those things are just bloody huge.. and Ieota, my wifes character is only like 4ft nothing. So mainly for roleplay perposes she decided to go with pistoleer.... as pistols are inconspicious. no one really notices that in her hand is a scout blaster when she has her master musician title up.

So the moral of this tale? who cares if all the specials don't work 100%, the concept of roleplay allows a master dancer to be able to wield a weapon and not look bizzare. Never intending on being the best at a combat or having the biggest gun opens up a world of RP opertunities.

Ya, my main is a master pistoleer and a master combat medic. I started a 2nd character to be a master chef master TKA. I was suprised as hell to find that my TKA was 2x as effective in killing fambas and other large creatures as my other character AT ONLY HALF WAY UP THE TKA TREE! At master, I solo rancors 5 or 6 at a time without taking hardly any damage.. With my master pistoleer/CM I could only take on 1 rancor at a time, running away kiting it the whole time, and be half dead by the time I killed it. Wow what a difference!
