Pistoleer Archive

PS! I am a newb pistoleer, but a veteran SWG player

Update: When I got Fan shot I tested a bit with that skill instead of pointblankarea. Well, its a bit more work, since you have to run to get the savage quenkers in the same cone, but the numbers speak for itself, the last 850k pistol xp I needed for master I got in 2hours

What im doing is going to Dathomir and hunting Giant Baz Nitches. Big group solo missions, Ubese armor, Doctor buffs, Brandy, DX2, 60,000+xp per lair.

Go join a nice size group if you can and head to Dathomir by yourself. Grab 2 Giant Baz Nitch lairs and head out. Im gettting 4 Giant Baz Nithces at a time each giving anywhere from 4500xp to 5000xp depending on the size of the group. The lair spawns 3 sets of 4 and the lair itself gives 4500 to 5000xp also. These lairs are easy and can be taken out rather quickly. They do not have disease, poison or anything really damaging with good armor. They do have death blow however,but you will never see your health dip far enough down so that they can use it. I have shot through Pistoleer with this new found knowledge and hope to start my TKA training soon.

bring a friend who is a high level CH to dantoine imp outpost. get missions for bols, and pikets of any type. have tyour friend tank while you stand back and use area attacks form marksman tree, or bs2. ( was much easier when bleeds actualyl did damage) and just repeat this over and over. i did this two out of the three times i masterd pistoleer. on an average of about 300k xp/hour. the way i mastered the first time, was by pistol whipping baz nitches before they were socially aggro creatures ( which was also before there was a knockdown delay)

You guys say you have been using Ubese, do buffs counter well on the encumberance? Or do you use stat migration--say to up your Constitution if you are healing slow while wearing it?

Example (on how to earn as much xp as possible)

The key is to attack as many enemies as possible, at the same time (marksman: point blank area 1).

Mind around 800

Focus Max

Willpower Max

Action/Health and sub stats Minimum.

Use doctor's buffs

...use doctor's buffs.

And ubese or composite.

...& point blank area 1

With point blank area 1, draw the following conclusion: more enemies at the time = more xp per time unit. Sojoin a high leveled group (at-st) to get more enemies per lair..

With a little patience you'llreach 0040, where you can use fanshot instead. Then you'll hafta take it from there youself.

for pve

get Giant Baz mission on dath. (its prefered to get doctor's buffs, but not nessisery. prefered to use a good 70%+ kinetic - ubese suit.)

1) if you want to play it safe,

have range support 1 only, (thats only 300 combat xp so any1 can get it) use any shot and while running away from baz, use threaten shot. that way you will havea way to make the baz stop for while when you are running from it. shoot it with your best dmg shot, 1st use overcharge, then use disarm shot, then use double and stopping,

DONT USE FAN SHOT unless you want EVERY critter around running after you.

2) if you want to play it big on xp,

get tech 4 b4 doing this tactic (0-0-4-0) so you will have fan shot, -Doc buffs are must, and -70% kinetic ubese suit is a must.

use fan shot when you are fairly far away from lair. aim at the lair only, from 30m - run to the lair pass it till u'll be again 30m from it, then while the baz would run back and forth from you to the lair and back, (to try and heal the lair) all the while shoot them with fan shot, try to hit as many as posible. soon enough you will spawn the next 2 waves, having up to 9 giant baz nitch on you. at that point switch to one of the targets, run away, (in big circles so you will not lose the lair) fire fan shot continuesly at the baz nitches, hitting as many as posible - and BURST RUN!!! get enough distance from them so you will hit everyone of them.

(9 is not that much) make sure to have booster blue (spice) and eat some good foods as well. (like dmg reducing and ham reducing foods) also neutron pixies are good pick if your health bar would drop. but since its fanshot, and since our specials are action based, booster blue is best choise.

kill all 9.- get tons of xp - this would get you about 5k per baz x 9 + 5k for lair, total of 50k xp!!!

all this with a good gun- in under 2 min!!!!!!!!

once you have this tactic mastered, do it over and over, increase your dodge (grips)1st, then your marksmanship, and all the while your speed (stances).

the more you will level you will hit more per shot, and will dodge more per hit on you. things would become easier.

*** for the realy dearing.

+must go with a friend who will tank for you - melee combat class is best choise, or good CH pet.

+must have fan shot - get all buffs, get stun layer armor, get Dx2 weapon. (you must have fan shot)

go to yavin4, visit the geo-caves.

at the right wall from the entrance, lay prone, 3 crazed geonicians will spawn, shoot them all with fan shot.

with fast gun, you will get about 4k+ for ever 2 sec!!! you will get master in no time. (btw this mathod works great for carbineer and rifle as well with the matching shots)

hope this helps a bit.
