with no BH or master marksman
Im thinking about changing templates and want to include master pistoleer as my ranged prof to save on skill poiunts because I was gonn apick up the defenses anywy
Im kinda worried about its speed and accuracy
The speed seams slow but does it play alright ?
Also what things are most likely to be added during combat revamp (please not what think is cool or what you want, just likly things to be added)
Just wanna know whre the proffession is going (Please dont say the devs dont care about pistoleer , they seam to care equally for most professions) Please dont suggest templates to pick up, I know whats good and what isnt
thanks

When I was a Master Pistoleer/Master CH I used to solo (with a pet) Ancient Bull Rancors with no buff's on. This was using a natural (non-BE) pet. So, I believe a pistoleer can do well in PvE and against creatures. But, most successful PvP pistoleers I've seen have other professions as well, such as BH.

Speed is teh suck w/out BH.
At least in my experience.
With 10000000 crates of p-ups you might be OK though.
Best of luck!

Master pistoleer feels really fast to me....but I just got it yesterday =D
It also depends alot on the pistol. I'm at work but if I remember correctly Pistol Speed at Master Pistoleer without Master Marksman or BH is +74. Which means the two heaviest specials(Stopping Shot and Last Ditch*) would have a speed about equal to that of the speed of the pistol**.
*Requires Dirty Fighting I(Smuggler)
**Tested using this thingy and weapon speeds of 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0

Yeah, but at +74 pistol speed the DPS for those specials is crap. You're better off using Fanshot and HealthShot2. And for PvP, the BH pistol speed mods are almost mandatory for survival.
Oh, and Last Ditch requires Dirty Fighting IV, not I.

The accuracy at Master Pistoleer is good, so are Fanshot, Healthshot2 and some of the defenses. Speed might be enough for PvE but I really think BH0030 or 0040 is necessary to get the most out of this profession. With BH0030 you also gain EyeShot which is extremely useful in PvP right now (but might be less so after combat balance/revamp/upgrade).

Yes, one of the best things CU could do would be to remove Mind as being the only viable weakness in PvP. Fix Mind so that it's equally valid to attack allHAM pools and I think you'd immediately find Pistoleer -- even in its currently broken state -- to be much more effective than you might think.

Accuracy and speed at master is mediocre. Even if mind wasn't an essential target, pistoleer would still be lacking.

I didn't say it wouldn't be lacking, I said it would be more effective than you might think.

Ah so. We do have a nice ability to target health, especially with BH skills. The health damage a pistoleer/BH can do is almost (almost) formidable

I agree, HealthShot2 is my spam special. And of course fan shot for groups of enemies kind enough to keep thier distance. And Doh! for the Dirty Fighting correction. I knew that really. But if you got Dirty Fighting I you can basically solo anything that doesn't have a bomb droid =)
