Thread: The deadliest pistol user template ever conceived by mortal man
You really think the Command pistol is better than another line in Pistoleer?
I have never used it soI dunno, otherwise seems like an outrageous char template.
You should be uber with the pistol too bad Smuggler requires unarmed and BH requires Master Scout.
You could have used those points in more Pistoleer skills.

There is no question that the best Pistol template is:
Pistoleer: 0/0/4/2
Smuggler: 0/0/3/0
BH: 0/0/3/0
If there are any more knockdown nerfs I would just go with:
Master Pistoleer
Bounty Hunter Pistol 4
until then its preferable to have the low blow of smuggler, if things like dodge start to work effectively then that might change things also.
With the promised KD nerfs I'm dropping the smuggler pistol moves I have and just going :
Master Bounty Pistol
Master Pistoleer
Torso Shot is a great skill to have, similarly is Eye Shot and Fan Shot.
3 moves I constantly use in PvP.

Depends on your play style, who you play with ect.....
I haven't finished my template but when I'm done a Master Pistoleer, Master Fencer, First Aid 2, Pharm 3 and enough Scouting that I have no problems with hill makes me a self sufficient PvPing machine. I can use Quality Stim C's, heal Bleeding, Dizzy and Poison and dish out tons of damage. The fencing gives me lots of defencive stats on top of being able to dizzy and cause large bleeds when up close.
I have a Doctor Character that I use to buff my pistoleer to take his action and health over 2000 and his other stats to near 2000. If I'm doing PvP I'll use Muon Gold for my mind and Tatooine sunburn to buff my healing rate on action/health even more. I don't think there is any super template thats more dominate then anyother but it all comes down to wether you do more PvP or PvE and during that combat who you group with if anyone. I personally do a lot of solo PvP, I rely on my DarkTrooper pets to help me come out alive.
What you think of this? (I have no intention of actually doing as I am close to being finished with experiencing)
Master Marksman; Master Scout; unarmed 1-4
Novice commando; Expert Bounty Hunter; Pistol Marksmanship (or special abilities); Dirty Fighting 1-4
This gives you an AoE torso shot, eye shot, ranged knockdown, panic shot, near maxed speed or accuracy, blast damage, and feign heath. Can this be topped?
Any serious pvptemplate needs some medic skills. At least first aid 2 to heal bleeds, but the more you can fit in, the better.
I think you can only do one thing good: Smugger or Bouny hunter.
The smuggler route is very flexible. Right now I'm master medic, going for pistoleer master, got smuggler pistol line 4 allready. Thisworks great, as long as panic shot works - I can keepat-st's from shoting forever. By dropping some medic, you can commando to this template easy, because you got unarmed anyway for bounty hunter. Can add some tera kasi cheap as well for meditate as well if you like. The bad parts: Lots of pistol xp needed, and speed is maxed out below 100, no room left for much scouting skills.
Bounty hunter ismore limited, with the two master prerequisites, but more powerfull. The only thing you really need from pistoleer is enough pistol special abilities to stack with the bounty hunter speed and reach 100 speed. That leaves you some points to play with carabine or get medic skills.
That template certainly has a lot of nice specials, but still doesn't have the maximum speed/accuracy potential. Thats a nice pve template. But a launcher pistol is slow, and the range is fubar'd so piss poor accuracy. Master pistoleer/Expert Bounty hunter (Leaves yah 14 points left over) Scatter pistol and eye shot all the pvp power you need. As for bleeds and PvP it's fine and dandy, but bleeds are really only good for attempting to kill your opponent after you are already dead.
the launchwer pistol does not have an area of effect or cone when used with specials. I should know, i use it daily!
