Pistoleer Archive

As an up and coming Pistoleer, what pistols do you Veteran Pistoleer's use. And what's the best pistol you've ever heard of. I have a FWG5 that is 2.1 speed and 49-209.

FW and republics are popular. But Damage Mitigation is making the DX2 and some others a decent choice in PVP. FW's were getting in the 1.3 range of scouts for a while...They're great against unarmored foes.

Take a look at the armor piercing pistols, and take a look at the different damage types...You really need a couple guns for the advanced planets. I take my Republic and DX2 everywhere I go (both AP1, one does energy, one does acid), with the Krayt enhanced 1.4, 80-250 (approx) FWG5 saved for unarmored groups (Faction Missions). The scout is still good for lairs, and pesky Vynocks.

I think I'll pick up a tangle soon...Stun damage may be a hoot.

I've never used the others.

Weapon of choice for me is my pre-nerf FWG-5: 450 Max Dmg 1.9 spd.

Next weapon would be DX2, and then Republic blaster.

Being a former Master Bounty Hunter I understand the importance of vulnerabilities, and therefore carry one of every damage type.

My main FWG5 is 60-260 dmg,.7 spd.

I have anotherFWG5 that I'm not using yet with 61-263 dmg., 1.2 spd.

I have an FWG5 (1.7 76-261), DX2 (2.1 154-266), Scout (1.9 97-188) and a Tangle (3.7 55-110).

I use the DX2 the most because many MoBs have either light armor or no armor and they are usually vulnerable to acid.

The tangle comes in hand when someone things they invicible with thier 80% composite. Stun damage is a real wake up call. Especially when they get hit in the head with fan shot or stopping shot hehe.

The scout is my lair destroying gun (disarmingshot1). And the FWG5 is used for anythign that's heat vulnerable.

The best thing to do is buy a gun of each damage type and use which ever is better for a given situation.

Best of luck in your adventures as a pistoleer.

I use a krayt scout blaster 1.0 69-216 (powered up to 89-275)... It's for sale on the bria server if anyone's interested ...

I buy a few dx2, fwg5 and republic blasters, get them all sliced, and use the speed ones for gridning. I sell the rest on my vendor. I usually use a +33% damaage powerup. These guns work out to be very economical and when grinding pistol xp, they decay pretty fast... at least for me... After I get a few more boxes in pistoleer i might switch to a damage sliced pistol for bleeds. the dx2 works nice against armored mobs and things iwth acid vuln. fwg5 for heat vuln and repub blaster for energy vuln.

I carry a Republic Blaster , DX2 , FWG5 with me at all times. Depends on the target and it's resistances and AP rateing

I carry

3xFGW5, each of them has different stats... mostly when I bought them still dont know why i carry all three of them with me O_o


DX2
DH17 +51 Scope
Republic Blaster
Tangle Pistol
Striker Pistol

I try to carry as many different damage types I can possibly have, its habit. I mostly go for speed, since I am not entirely master yet this means I can fire more often. My main "spam" gun is an FGW5 that has an attack speed of 1.1 with damage ranging from 67-180. Thats fast for me. The DH17 is when I have to hit something with a high accuracy modifier regardless wether its moving or not (I mean +51 bonus to hit >=) )

Republic Blaster Krayt 98-409 w/out powerup, w/powerup 98-544 2.0 now thats SWEET

i have an array of krayt FWG5's, my best is 87-487 1.2 with powerup. that used to be PvP gun but not anymore with mitigation. my hunting is a scout at 89-267 1.0... i use it for the low HAM costs. And my new PvP gun is my scatter at 167-286 1.0 (unpowered up). But of course without BH the scatter is no good.
