Pistoleer Archive

I am looking for more powerful weapons as a pistoleer. I am working my way towards master pistols and up the BH pistol tree, so I have all of those weapons (scatter pistol, lightning gun, republic blaster). Is working my way to novice commando worth the points to get at the launcher pistol and the other heavy weapons? I usually do missions solo and do not pvp for the most part.

Does the launcher pistol give pistol xp or heavy weapons xp????

Launcher pistol gives heavey weapons xp but you can use all the pistol specials with it since it is a pistol. Another nice thing about it is that it offers a diff type of damage which is blast. Bad thing is is that its AP0 and about the only things that are vulnerable to blast are turrests and AT-STs. Some like to use the launcher for taking on low blast resist nightsisters. I myself do not think it is worth the points, as the occasions that I acutualy used it over another weapon were very rare. Hope my 2 cents helps some

it depends if you intend to use the Dirty Fighting line from smuggler too, if you do, you only have to spend 6 more skill points to get your novice commando and use the maucher (since you already have master marksman, and the unearmed 4 is already required for smuggler). If not, i would say it's not worth the skill points cost.

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression

I hate to say it, but if you are looking for offensive power, you should consider carbines or rifles. Pistoleer provides much more defence than offence. Overall, if you are to compare the damage output of rifles to pistols, you will be very disapointed. If you are after PvE power, pistols might not be for you.
