Thread: What are the best pistoleer skills?
Yep, keep techniques. When I did BH, I kept that line from Pistoleer and it worked great. You will finally get some defenses. Fanshot every second with a scatter is nirvana! You also get the Genosian stun blaster cert.
Speed won't help you, since youshould cap your pistol speed at MBH. If you use a pistol as your main weapon, you may want to invest in some dodge or accuracy from the grips and marksmanship lines, too. I keptMarksmanship 3(from +125 to +150!) since I would open with the carbine, stick a confusion shot, stick a firekd, and then switch to pistols to do the bulk of the work. You don't need to dodge in those critical6 seconds where your mark is flopping on the floor and eating up blaster bolts. 
Definitely start with Trickshot. It's also a nice title to have up to look like a standard dabbler, just equip something other than a scatter.
if you are at the speed cap (which im assuming you are if you are a bh) than stopping shot is by far the most powerful pistoleer move against one target. For us master pistoleers, unfortunately, its not nearly as good.
Fan shot is the other special that you will be using alot. It does a good amount of damage, and can attack units in a cone. Probably the best pistoleer special overall.

You can basically fire any shot every second with any pistol, I think....

At 94 pistol speed you reach this for pretty much all guns, since I've never seen a pistol slower than 4.3

hmmm so then pistol attack speed doesnt matter at all then? I have 103 pistol speed cause I went up the pistol speed tree in pistoleer.....so are these skills useless?
that takes combat xp so its not the easiest tree to go up first
"tech tree specials and status def "
what?
"that takes combat xp so its not the easiest tree to go up first "
I know its not the easiest tree....but I did it anyways cause I had loads of combat XP. But is it pretty much useless if the cap is 96 for all pistols? Also if the cap is 96 does taht mean that attack speed on all pistols is meaningless? (providing u have the 96 skill mod of course)
