If you're referring to branches where you get mods that are specific to pistols, there are no others thanthe ones you mentioned (specifically the Desperado line in Bounty Hunter... Commando doesn't actually give you any pistols mods--just certification to use a launcher pistol). You can get some extra pistol specials though (some really nice ones at that) by picking up the Dirty Fighting line in Smuggler.

I don't think so, no. If you hit control-c and click on the various boxes in the Dirty Fighting line, you won't see any pistol-specific defense bonuses. You do get Melee Damage Mitigation 1 atSmuggler 0030, but I don't think that's a pistol-specific mod. Anybody who knows more about it is welcome to correct me.

You get Melee Mitigation somewhere on Dirty Fighting as well.

Oops, sorry, I meant Smuggler 0030, not BH 0030 (and thanks Ren for making me aware ofmy typo). I just edited my above post to fix that.

Nice post: very helpful indeed. I'm thinking of either going Mbh/ Master Pistol or Master Pistol/ Bh 4/0/4/0 / smuggler 0-0-3-0.

Ok, question is it possible to go for Teras Kasi Master, Master Pistoleer, Master Smuggler? or is there not enough Skill points? ( i didnt use abrieveations because i wanted to be clear). Just wanted to know because as soon as i get bac on im going for Pistoleer (im about to be TKM with the new no app publish) then smuggler. Not sure if its a good combo but i like it. Been playing for 13+ months and iv never done any rangedproffessio other than COmmando and BH. SO i dont know much about ranged combat other than its hard to grind without a TAnk.
Thanks

Yes you can do Mpistoleer/Msmuggler/TKM. You will have 1 point left over. I did it for a few months and it was quite effective. The smuggler pistol specials work well with pistoleer. I took on TKM just for the meditation and ability to solo. Since the solo group nerf it didn't make sense to be this way anymore and I became force sensitive in the process. For force sensitive work it is cool, but it got boring. I kept master pistoleer and went BH. Yeah even with FS I may need a tank occasionally, as a BH. I have no healing skills so I travel with a Master Doc/TKM, who is also force sensitive. Generally, I do well solo but prefer to be with 1 or 2 other elites. Makes life easier and FS XP quicker. All depends on what you want to do. I am a casual FS grinder so I tend to deal with pure skills rather than hybrid templates. Hopefully, SOE dev willgive more attention to ranegd purists rather than melee hybrids. That remains to be seen.

Yep, TKM/MPistoleer/MSmuggler is often referred to as the Triple Master template. And has been fun throughout the game. There are many people in the curb testing team who are interested to see how it will effect the venerable triple master template.
