Pistoleer Archive

Hey guys, I just trained Novice Pistoleer, and I'm looking for some answeres here. Everyone says the Smuggler special Last Ditch is insanely good with Pistoleer, a Pistoleer I talked to claimed he did 4-9k dmg with Last Ditch in PvE. Is this true, or just bull**edit** bragging?

Also, are the Pistoleer specials good? I've heard great things about Stopping shot, but have no idea how good it is... I'm using a 84-503 Republic Blaster. How much damage could I expect to do with Stopping Shot?

Thanks all.

Just make sure to get fanshotbecause it does the same damage as stoppingshot in half the time and can hit multiple targets; plus you get the PC and KD defense bonus at a two skill point cost. Last ditch is good for PvP so long as a carbineer doesnt action hit you in the process of using it. All smuggler specials use two to three times the action cost of pistol specials.

Ooops, damage ...

Stoppingshot with my 98-192, 2.0 speed scout against no armor, energy vunerable NPCs/creatures does around 1000-1500 damage in about 2.0-3.0 seconds per shot (never timed it exactly). Fanshot does the same damage in half the time and can hit multiple targets.

Multiply your AP and damage in to get your damage range ...I would guess around 1200-4500 per shot.

Appreciate the help here. Could you guys recommend something to hunt as Novice Pistoleer? I obviously dont have alot of uber stuff yet
