Pistoleer Archive

I only have a limited number of points to spend in the Pistoleer tree after getting Dirty Fighting from Smuggler (26 points).

Which would be better to compliment Dirty Fighting?

0-3-0-4

or

0-0-4-3

Feel free to suggest any alternatives to those mentioned above. Thanks!

0-3-0-4 of course!

I'm looking at going a similar path. Is the concept here that Last Ditch takes the place of Stopping Shot and/or Fan Shot?

If you have Dirty Fighting, Get, Accuracy and Speed out of Pistoleer , you will not need the Pistol Techniques.

fan shot is good for spraying groups in pvp, but if you have dirty fighting you can get away with 0-3-0-4, which would be the best if you had to choose

Three points to consider for mixing Smuggler DF tree and Pistoleer trees, how about 0,4,4,0?

1. The accuracy modifiers in the Marksmanship treeseem like a no brainer to me, you have to hit someone in order to do any damage so they are a must.

2. What about the excellent defences in Techniques? The first two ranged damage mitigations are in there plus all of the defences vs. stun, dizzy and knockdown. Add to that the Stopping Shot and Fan Shot specials and this tree is a winner to me.

3. Why get Stances when you get the KD with Lowblow from the Smuggler DF tree? Isn't it even better given it's better range? I know/think there are some speed and maybe melee defences (?) in the Stances tree as well but if you are low on SPs I would think this would be a tree to skip.

Opinions...Please! I am working on a template similar to this and would love to know what some other folks think.

Forgot to add to point three is that you can only get so fast...with a really good sliced pistol and maybe a speed powerup you are probably shooting just about as fast as possible without wasting valuable SPs on the speed tree in Pistoleer, right?

Nope, speed kills man. Go 0/0/4/4 if you can.

Just stay away from the DX2 and it's horrible accuracy and you should be fine. Last ditch every 2 seconds or every 4? which sounds better to you?

Yes PMD1 becomes redundant with low blow, unless you actually want to KD something right on top of you. Point blank mods can make Low blow a little less reliable when buddy is right up in yer grill. And an AOE attack is nice to have, not to mention the state defenses. I think it's 0/0/4/4 all the way.

I'm master tka and fencer, and well im losing fencer, tried of you #$%$ers kiting me....heheh

master tka, smuggler 0040, for low blow ....pistols for speed, 0444, question tho

last ditch is it as good as fan shot and stoping shot, I have never done pistolers, whats better?

Thanks for the replies guys!

It's nice to see some differing opinions on which pistol branches would be best. This one is a toughie for me sinceeveryone gave pretty good reasons on their choices.

Feel free to keep the suggestions coming...

ok, here is my prob....

what is better? fan shot or last ditch, with speed and acc from pistoler?

i can do, 0444 pistoler with 0030 smuggler ...

or 0434 pistoler, smuggler 0040 ...

what you think, i want panic shot and warcry2, and low blow to stop the kiters, I'm a master tka and master brawler

more speed is better

What about Mitigation 2? Where does that come into play?If he goes up the corresponding tree, that wouldn't thatgive an extra 20% to mitigation or is that not benefitial or out-weighed by another skill set learned?
