Thread: Hybrid Smuggler/Pistoleer Question

Just thought I would ask the experts, as I am stumped. I am currently working up both skill sets, since the smuggler skills seem to complement the skill modifiers in Pistoleer so well.


Right now, I have Smuggler 0,2,2,0 and Pistoleer 0,0 1,1. I had been planning on acquiring the Low Blow first, so as to use the Low Blow/Panic Shot combo for a bit a crowd control. After that, I was not sure as to whether it would be more advantageous for me to grab Last Ditch, or head up the Pistoleer tech tree for Stopping Shot. Which attack tends to work better with the Low Blow/Panic Shot combo?


Thanks for any help.

I am currently a Master Pistoleer and Master Smuggler and I would not trade Last Ditch for anything. IMO it is one of the best shots in the game. Well worth working towards.

finish smuggler then start working on pistoleer. if you try to do both at the same time you will just get frustrated. if you work hard at it you can master smuggler (at least the 2 lines that require pistol xp) in no time. as you are doing that you should be building up combat xp to go up the stances line fast. then you can start the pistoleer tree at 0001 or 0002 possibly.



Not to mention you can make pretty good money slicing weapons and armor as a master smuggler as you are going up pistoleer. that way you can afford even the shiniest krayt fwg =D

Totally recommend Smuggler first. For a non-bounty hunter, Stopping Shot won't be worth your time.

Not from a pistoleer point of view, but from a master fencer. Let's see, a pistoleer with just the tech tree took me down (in PVP) in two fu***** shots. I'm a master fencer now, come on. Forgive the language, but god that pissed me off.


Anyway, I would suggest getting the over-powered Stopping Shot.

Last Ditch in Smuggler makes Stopping Shot look like a tickle.

Yeah and get a fast pistol too so you can spam a few lastditches in between your panics and lowblows. just be on the lookout now.. a pistol under 1 sec is what you want, at least until you hit master pistoleer

Panicshot and lowblow are on different timers. So you can lowblow mobs then Panicshot them and not be attacked for close to 15 seconds out of every 30. I can usually finish off most mobs or players before they even get up.

Is Stances and Grips really worththe pointsif you have mastered Dirty Fighting? This is assumingFanshot will lose themultidamage cone property. Iwas underthe impression that Last Ditchhas about the same delay as Stopping Shot which is then rendered obsolete?

As far as I can tell Last Ditch does have the same delay as stopping shot, so for me, stopping shot is obsolete. However, the only real way for a gunslinger to do damage these days is fanshot of doubletap, to not at least get doubletap would be a huge mistake.
