Pistoleer Archive

Ok guy's I know a lot of master pistoleer's (gunfighter) dabble on the bh 0040 tree and I am alright with that, but i need your help with the skill points i have left which is 18 cause i have novice medic (i need it to heal no sense inhunting ifI cant heal myself).

Here is the question, which tree i should climb with my 18 points? thats enough for novice and 3 blocks.

Since you're a MBH, you have no need for more speed so go up the grips line.

Grips 1,2 and 3 will give you +55 to dodge (including novice) and you'll get BS3 which is pretty good with a fast gun and high Pistol speed.

---

going up the speed line can give you +100 pistol speed combined with expert bh, which will allow you to fire any pistol at the speed cap, unless they've changed it since i was expert bh.

from memory i think you need stances 4, possibly 3 to hit the speed cap.

Go with Carbine.

i wouldnt get grips bs3 is a joke compared to torso shot so you would never use it, i was a bh and now im just a pitoleer, since you got medic i would say go up the speed line i think its called stances anyways this will give you more speed but more importanly it will give you a pitol kd witch can be helpful even thoguh you got fire kd and some good melee defences they really work.

What i would do if i were you is this drop medic and get the techniqes line up to 4 that way even as a bh you will have somoe good defences and contrery to popular belief the kd and the dizzy defence makes a world of a diffence. Also if you drop medic you will have enough to get stances 2 al well i think and get more melee defences and a pitol kd to go with your kd,stun,blind,dizzy defences

i think i will go with the techniques branch up to 0030 cause my speed right now is at 105 and my scatter's speed is 0.6 148-271 so i guess speed caps at 1.0 so im way over capped on that.

Than you for all the ifo and good luck in the game guys.

I think you're on the right track, ElBoricua. You're not going to need anymore speed. The Expert BH plus novice pistoleer gives enough speed to hit the cap with most guns and specials, and if you're ever a little short, its not too hard to pick up a couple of +1 or +2 pistol speed SEAs. Going 0-0-3-0 will give you Stopping Shot, which comes invery handy. Also, might I suggest that you drop novice medic and just start fighting buffed all the time. I did just that about 3 weeks ago, and I haven't regretted it one bit. Unless you're on a very low population server, finding a master doctor isn't all that difficult, and master level buffs last for a couple hours, so its easy to get a lot of fighting in in that time. Plus, once you start fighting buffed all the time you can easily start wear some triple layered composite.

ok i have reached the 0030 on the pistoleer tree and i have to admit that stopping shot is very good( beats torso shot in max damage, torso shot only advantage is fire) now about dropping medic (scares me lol ) but ill give it a try.

Just out of curiousity, why bother with Medic? Get Master Doctor buffs before going hunting, and you're good for 2-3 hours.

i used to feel the same way about losing medic. However, if you get buffed, specials won't cost anything but mind, get a vercupti and fishak going, you'll be set for a long time. The 15pts from medic goes a long way. And honestly, mbh isnt worth it. Pvp/PvE 0040bh 0040smuggler rest into pistoleer is more effective. Fan shot is the wipeup attack, last ditch for single targets, you have the speed and accuracy, not to mention a kd and delay.

If you care about PvP, consider going Rifleman for the Ranged Defense. If you really want Pistoleer, you're right to get the Techniques line.

amen!

Why more bh's dont get rifle boggles me mind...
