Pistoleer Archive

I hit a rebel flag the other night for 2,300 damage using a damage slice dh-17 pistol! lol

Thats using a 31+ damage powerup, and stopping shot.

I first overlooked the dh-17's because I figured it must be total crap to be a pistols 2 gun, but over the past few days I've really started to love the one I have.
stock specs without powerup=

attackspeed: 1.9

min: 117
max: 173
woundchance: 21.3%

with a damage powerup:

min: 133
max: 233

maybe this isn't great to most of the veterans around here, but I new to pistols and to me when combined with a powerup this pistol seems better than some laser carbines...considering it has a quicker attack speed, and higher min damage.

uber Bone shards?? That can go in a FWG5..... where do these come from?

I hate to say it guys, but uh, the damage and weapons you guys use seem...quite primitive. Sadly, to be a good pistoleer in this galaxy, you have to dabble. Now, Ive seen all sorts of combos to the "Turret Bustin'" Commando/Pistoleer, to the "Stay the Hell Down" Rogue/Pistoleer. I have tried those all, and they arnt great. The best pistol combo you will ever come across is either 0 0 3 0 BH/ Master Pistoleer or 0 0 4 0 BH/ 3 4 4 4 Pistoleer. Im hitting in PvE with my scatters (pre nerf most of em, and a bunch of +85 krayt tissue ones) for an easy excess of 2k damage. Thats standing up. In PvP I get usually...400-500 damage stopping shots on Ranged targets and sometimes close to 800-900 on melee targets, and when the melee targets are KD I usually hit them for around....1.2-1.5k damage. Basically, pistoleer its self is a pathetic profession. The FWG5 has no AP and its damage is so little, but the speed is ok. The DX2 has AP and not the best damage and not great speed. But the Scatter pistol....fast, AP 1, acid damage, and range from 110-150 (unsliced, non krayt, on kauri.) Now, my scatters with a 30% damage slice and a +85 tissue are around...120-282, 1.5 speed. With a PU they do about 120-383. Now, this might be different for other pistoleers out there, but I personally believe this to be the best, and strongest pistol combo.

That's great and all, but uber weapons are becoming a thing of the past....also, I don't like to have to spend all my skill points to get anything in BH unless PVP is all that I'm gonna do. I want my medic skills and getting BH will not allow me to do that, plus you have to get things from the scout tree like trapping that I'm never gonna use.....so there's 14 wasted skill points for me right there. Anyway, I'm a master fencer/master pistoleer and still have my medic skills and getting +800 heals to both action and Health on average......I do more PVE than PVP though.....My PVP days are reserved for protecting our base from evil IMP scum.....our oppressors...hehe

another thing, whats up with all the people wanting to do super uber damage.....don't you all know that offense is for show but defense wins the games.....

you could also add a legendary component to a pistol. the results are insane damage. my friend has a barrel that he refuses to use, trade or sell. i thinik a tangle pistol made from that would own in PvP.
