You know...its just more point efficient to go:
Master Rifleman
Master TKA
Fencer 4-0-0-0....
Just playing Devil's Advocate here
But we LOVE pistoleer remember?
This is my template as well, and I can tell you this:
It is not a top PvP template, but it is pretty good. The only way to target the mind pool is to use headhit from the TKA tree. The other way to do effective mind damage is with Last dictch, which is the best random HAM damage pool special we get. In my opinion, the mind pool is the best way to go since it can't be healed and is harder to buff. Antoher weakness of the template is the lack of a good stun weapon. The tangle pistol kust isn't strong enough. If you can get a hold of the new geionossian sonic blaster SCHEMATIC and make a krayt version with strong geo cubes, you can get a 300-400 max damage stun pistol. But that schematic is a very rare loot from a very hard cave and I have only seen 1 or 2 screenshots of such a pistol and none from my server.
This template does give you the ability to out think many enemies in a duel though. If you are up against a TKA you can often delay them, knock them down and use burst run to stay out of their range while you spam bodyshot3 or Last ditch. If you are fighting a rifleman/CM you can knock them down and delay then, they close to melee range and dizzy them with TK so they can't get up while you beat them senseless with unarmed3 or headhit.
It is a servicable enough template. I chose it because I want smuggler as my anchor due to the faction perks you get. But if you want uber PvP you should add fencer and master rifleman as things stand right now. Some combo like Master Rifle, TKA 0403, Fencer 4400, Pistol 4040 is a defense stacking nightmare with the ability to hit the mind pool at will and ne very hard to hit in combat. I won't create a character solely for PvP but if i did it would probably be that template.

Pistoleer is a good PvP class if you have a good gun. I am currently Master Fencer/Master Pistoleer working on Rogue in smuggler. If you are going to PVP with pistoleer i realyl recommend getting last ditch cause its a great shot. I dont know if I would go with TK/Pistoleer cause you wont stack your defense although they will be doing away with that. Its not always the Template (sometimes it is). You have to be smart when you PVP and know what you can and cant kill. Good luck.

You have to be smart when it comes to nerfs..... Last I checked they are NOT in anyway nerfing Defense Vs X stuff. And we don't even hit the proposed publish 7 cap of +125 for our melee defenses. This is NOT a combo that is getting a NERF.
Why does everyone have what's getting NERF'ed all wrong?!?!?!? Do any of you even have a clue what makes an "unhittable" templatewhat it is. First clue is it has nothing to do with Defense vs X.........
And this particular combo tka/pistoleer is far from unhittable.
