yea pstoleer is heavliy based on using your head of spaming 2 different specials. Though most of you forget about the smuggler specials lik elast ditch(which pwns stopping shot =)) and also some peole forget too that if you have smuggler you can use brawler skills like imt. and warcry to subdue your enemies easier. Hehe also we get DE-10 which rock vs armorless people aka jedi (one of my last ditchs with mine hit for 950 damage) Also i fond out that a lot of brawler people don't know how to use imt. or other specials that they have that mess up the enemy. This is the reason i recommend a lof the noobs in my guild to take pistoleer, so that they learn to fight with their haeds, thusly will be better at other professions.(Hehe it's kinda sad when you can win a guild tourny vs many TKM with just a pistol)

Thats not really good strategy. Kiting with fan is more often dangerous than helpful. Im master pistoleer/BH pistols, novice commando(for the launcher pistol, blast damage) and 0/0/0/4 in tk for some needed defence. Pistoleer CAN be good in PVE against high level stuff, if you know what your doing. You have to learn the profession, and use pistolwhip and DOTs to your advantage. The highest mobs I can solo are NS stalkers, Blacksun Assassins, and ive come very very close to soloing a Death Watch Ghost, or Wraith, whichever is the weakest one. Strategy is our strength, and with BH pistols we have 4 DOTs at our disposal, Healthshot1, Healthshot2, Bleedingshot, and Torsoshot, all health DOTs. I always start with a salvo of Dots, using health 1 and 2, bleeding, then torso, when they rush in, use pistol whip to KD, then run away using Stopping shot, crazy damage, and keeps you out of harms way.



Everything I've read says that Bleeding Shot causes a Mind Bleed, not Health. Can someone confirm or deny this for me please?

Pistoleer does have its problems if you were expecting a high damage doing proffesion go do another proffesion. Mainly what i have found is pistoleer is allow about speed. I am Master Pistoleer, and 2/4/4/4 BH. And torso shot is fun lol.
I just go get a good speed pistol then go get some speed powerups to increase speed and RIP in pvp.

If I'm not mistaken, as a MP/Desperado, you are already firing all pistols and specials at maximum speed, so buying faster pistols or speed powerups is not going to help you. I'd be buying increased-damage pistols and powerups if I were you. But you're right, Torso Shot is fun.

I think we are going to have some problems whent he CB hits. Im really affraid that we are going to be thought of as too powerfull. I have spent the last 6 months collecting and constructing the best guns and tactics for PvP to give myself even a fighting chance. Once the profs are brought to a reasonable level i have a feeling we might become the new FOTM.

I've found that Master Pistoleer isn't worth all the skill points spent. I'm content to stick with 0-0-4-3 along with some Bounty Hunter Pistoleer skills to keep my Pistol Speed just over 100.

If the CU is done right, the original vision for ranged should be restored. pistols fastest speed, lowest damage. Carbines, medium/medium. Rifles slowest speed/highest damage. If done right, it should yield very similar DPS for all ranged professions. Damage per second is the real measureing stick, not damage per shot. The only time damage per shot would ever be more important is versus an opponent that can be killed in one high powered shot.
