Thread: Master Pistol what gun!
I find the DE-10 to be quite usefull. I know of a pair of out of the way Imperial Forward Outposts. I can kill all of the stormys and the two AT-ST's in 20 minutes. Fanshot the groups of stormys at a distance, PMD with stopping shot when they get close and Torso shot for the AT-ST. Works every time. Oh and Night Sisters and Krayts too!

You can have the best uber Scatter Pistol in the game, but it will not even scratch a Night Sister Elder.
The very same Scatter Pistol will be best thing to use against a Super Battle Droid.
Get a Scatter or DX2 (Acid), FWG5 (Heat), Republic Blaster or DE-10 (Energy), Geonocian Blaster (Stun)and a Striker pistol (Kinetic).
Attach /examine on a quickkey, anduse this whenever you meet a new monster.First look at their ARMOR. It will say "None" "Light" "Medium" or "Heavy".
FWG5/Geonocian Blaster/Striker are NOT Armor Piercing. This means that:
When you fightstuff with NO armor the damage will be changed with 0%
When you fightstuff with LIGHT armor the damage will be REDUCED -50% damage
Medium Armor: REDUCED -75% damage
Heavy Armor: REDUCED -87,5% damage
Republic Blaster/DE-10/DX2 or Scatter are LIGHT Armor Piercing. This means:
When you fightstuff with NO armor the damage will be BOOSTED +25% damage
When you fight stuff with LIGHT armor the damage will be changed with 0%
Mediumarmor: REDUCED-50% damage
Heavy Armor: REDUCED-75% damage
Now after knowing this, look at their resistances to find out which weapon will do most damage against each type of resistance.
For example, a Nightsister Elder is 100% resistant against Kinetic/Acid/Stun/Heat ... so you must use Energy damage.
A Nightsister Protector on the other hand is 100% resistant against Acid/Stun/Heat/Energy ... so you must use Kinetic damage.

Pistoleers definantly dont have a "I win" button like other professions.
One thing I find disturbing in this whole post, and someone correct me if I am wrong, is that with all the different pistols in our arsenal, I always use a fwg5 pistol.
I find using this pistol the most will cause the most damage, regardless of resistance, unless whatever I am fighting has 100% resist against heat.
I used every other pistol, except de-10 which is overrated :smileytongue:, and using the fwg against an enemy that has higher resist against heat as oppose to my dxr which is acid, still does higher doses of damage, even the dps is higher...
Does anyone else feel this way too?
By the way I have been Master Pistoleer since early launch,switched to Master BH, then added Master Pistoleer, then dropped BH to be triple threat.
For all of those flamers out there..

In my experience, the only place where a DE-10 ends up better than a republic blaster, is when you have used a nice yellow barrel... a Republic Blaster ends up near the same damage, and since it's much cheaper to produce, chances are greater than you will get a good slice.
