Thread: GET YOUR Pistoleer PVP TEMPLATE HERE
4/0/0/0 pistoleer
0/0/4/0 smuggler
novice commando
a fun combo for PvE, does ok for PvP
I think you all are going to have to get it through your head that after the caps these dabbling templates simply will not work well. If you don't master in any one combat profession you will be too watered down. It will be like this:
Dabbling in many to get maxed defences = a bunch of skills that are not maxed in offense and you may not get maxed toughnessand will not get mitigation 3 for both ranged and melee.
Mastering one or two combat professions= Maxed defences (if done right), higher offensive bonuses, higher toughness possible, and mitigation 3 offered in master titles.
Mitigation is damn nice, period, especially when everyones defenses will be capped and you are going to start to get pounded more. Also it just seems lame when someone doesn't bother to master anything. Every one profession just looks at them as dabblers but I know it within your right to do so it just looks like you will pay a cost now. Offense is going to start winning fights now not defense.

So... wait a sec... Defenses still stack after last patch? People keep telling me they don't. What's the true story here?
I think its the next patch that the stacking will stop.
Any advice on which 2 trees to get in pistoleer? I am going Master Smug/Grenadeer/some med and ill be able to fill 2 pistoleer trees. Im currently thinking 4040 or 0044.

get the dodge line
. But Melee takes me out real fast think i should try to take up some TKA or something that will help me with these pesky melee tefers??
Looks like range and melee stacking are staying in for the time being.

well thats good news for me at least.
to the BH/pistoleer. i would still say keep your template. you will be able to hit stackers like more than anyone else. just get good armor and buffs and you wont need those extra skill points for defenses
Due to the clarification on TC about which caps will be in place, I will be changing from:
Master Pistol-Master TKA-Rouge-Fencer 4-0-3-0
to
Master Pistol-Master TKA-Rouge-Fencer 4-0-0-0-Range Support 3
My dodge boxes became usless, as expected. Once the final combat rebalance happens (where range and melee defense stacking gets capped) , I will be going back to Master Pistol-BH Pistol 4.

just curious... how do you make money?
I will have a template almost identical to you when its finished (except ill put some tka skill points into rifle concealment line), but im feeling the pressure to master smuggler to have a steady income to buy sea's and stuff. which would take quite a bit of my skill points.
