Pistoleer Archive

why have you got rogue in there? I'm a smuggler myself and unless you have skill tapes you'll never hit the speed cap for last ditch, only usefully thing would be the stun of last ditch. TKM, Mater Pistoleer, Fencer 0-4-4-0 and novice medic I would think would be a better combo. You still get the cap on dodge andclose to caps on most of the states as well. However you get more melee defence with TKM than you would with fencer. I think you'd be better dropping rogueand getting novice medic

Just my thoughts.

Last ditch in PvP, when used in tandem with the right pistol, can cause over 1k damage in pvp.

To each their own, but I've caused more mischief with Low Blow and Panic Shot than with Last Ditch. The KD and delay can be used to close into range for a further delay using Warcry, then once you get into melee range, you follow up with a dizzy. Rogue has some very nice specials. You don't necessarily need to be capped in order to find use for them. Novice medic is useful stuff though. Not sure I would want to get along without 2/0/0/0 medic.

Didn't really use low blow or panic shot in pvp. I found that low blow hardly ever worked and most people don't mind trying to kite you from 10 m away. Dizzy, KD+dizzy worked just as well for me. I'd still rather master TKM rather than masterfencer if I had master gunfighter, you just don't need master fencer and master gunfighter. I have master smuggler and though I do sometimes think of dropping it I just can't bring myself to do it so my choice is pretty limited. Oh and what gun are you using for a 1000 damage in PvP. I think my 250 geo with powerup (max 300ish)hit for about 600 or 400 against stun armor. I know it's not the best of geos but I can't afford the uber uber weapons on my server.

I have a fond memory of using my uber pre nerf fwg5 (530 max) on a group of unarmored rebels who attacked the dant imp outpost, used fanshot, 1 hit incapped em all. Ah, those were the days. But now, we have to armor to worry about!

Last ditch is great, it is the strongest pistoleer damag attack in the game and with a good pistol can devestate an unbuffed opponent and seriously hurt per shot a buffed one.

except it's not a pistoleer special

however..... fanshot has a higher dps unless you have a very fast pistol (1.2 or faster)
last ditch is very useful for the stun effect though..... my recomendation is use last ditch until a stun sticks, then switch to fan shot

EnderUK brought up being a 0-4-4-0 fencer for pvp usage. The problem with that setup is you wouldnt have Scatterhit2. This is the most used attack for pvp as it causes mind damage.

And never misses....

I used to be master pistoleer/smuggler 0-0-40, but I didn't rate the smuggler specials. Now i'm going for master pistoleer/BH 3-0-4-0. I've already got Eyeshot..which rocks combined with a geo pistol. Also, BH pistols gives you tons of speed & accuracy..whereas with smuggler pistols you get nothing.
