Greetings all, I was interested in hearing about other players positive experiences with pistoleer. I have been playing this profession since game launch and have plenty of my own. Please do not flame each other and be respectful, this thread is only to feed stories of your fondest moments.


While running around the other day on Dantooine I encountered an old friend who went on to say that I cannot believe you are still a master pistoleer. I laughed and said I loved the profession, he of course says how gimped we are and how we can not PvP or PvE adn all our specials are broken. So we group and start to hunt, he was a heavy swordsman and actually started to run from some random spawn mob (too many spawned and his armor broke, very bad timing). I was of course using my pistol and he was amazed I could hit over 1000, and was ahrdly missing. I did pistol melee defense 1 (my favorite) followed by healthshot 2 (I feel cheap for using it as a body shot but it really does work well). I would agro a bunch adn fan shot them. Ultimately kneeling to finish off with multi-target shot. He was shocked, he swore pistoleers were gimped and I proved him wrong . Lets hear your stories!


Note: I was fully buffed (who isn't?), 60% composite armor, master marksman, pistoleer, commando 0/0/4/0, brawler 4/4/0/0, novice rifleman 2/0/0/3.

Well.....I have two of them.


One was way back in the day when nobody had armor and there was the revenge tef etc....

Me and about 4 other rebs held bestine for hours, it was great. Much fun. People would keep popping out of the clone center, turn red by attacking me or one of my friends and find themselves laying on the ground again. Was probably the most fun I have ever had in PvP. I was a pistoleer/bh at the time.


Not really a pistoleer one....but very funny.

Other time was when I was on dathomir hunting andI got aggrod by a bunch of rancors, burst running for my life, I found a camp of about 8 or so members of the opposite faction. So naturally I turned in their direction. I think I had about 10 or more red dots following me at the time and all the guys in the camp were sitting down. I run though saying nothing and stop about 60m out only to see the rancors taking every single one of them from the sitting position to the omg ive been pwned position in about 2 seconds. Back to the cloners for them. Funniest thing I have ever seen.

408 max damage? oh no my friend, I was talking about WAYYYYYYY back.


The best pistol I had ever seen at the time was like 150 max. You know, when everyone was a noob......and people didnt complain about tefing and such.

I had a pretty fun experience today on Dantooine. I had just finished a faction mission and was heading to another one when due to some server lag I wound up in the middle of a random spawn of NPC rebels (no base). So I hop off my bike, put my armor back on and start tearing in to all 6 of them with fan shot. Then the rest of the world behind them loads and I end up aggroing 3 quenker ravagers. So I'm killing the ravagers and one of the last rebels when the rebs start respawning, another 5 or 6 of them. Finally with the last quenker dead and no more rebels spawning I hopped on my bike and drove off, with only a really beat down mind pool and lots and lots of action poison still burning away to show for it. I fixed that with a quick /meditate after I had gained some distance from the spawn point and realized again how much I enjoy pistoleer (not even master yet).



Total faction gained: over 500fp
Total pistol experience gained:.. man I don't even know, 30k? 15k almost from just the quenkers.
Total wounds sustained: between 1 and 4 on all stats.

Good times

For me it was Saturday when I soloed and finally finished the warren. The Dodge of a Master Pistoleer rocks. Some vasarian brandy to keep the mind healthy, Some air cake to add to the dodge.


Watching the combat que while you are surrounded by 7-8 high level mobs and they hit me one out of every 10-12 shots. While I pistol whip their arse and blast them away with my sweet Geo Blaster -


The hams and speed delay still are a problem but not being touched is fun as all get out.

I think it was the end of july or the beginning of August, a friend and I were both pistoleers. We would spend hours hunting mountain squill on tatooine. We had a system of warning shot and misc pistol attacks, mainly body shot 2 (we werent master pistoleers). Anyhow one day a trandosian was wandering through the wilderness and stopped to watch us for about 20 minutes. He was amazed that we were taking these squills down. We just had a perfect concert of pistol fire. He finally came over to say that he had never seen two pistoleers take on squill like that.... well take them on sucessfully. Just funny more than anything. Course back then we had a little more umph but still fond memories.

New Master Pistoleer here (trained earlier today) and enjoying it a lot!


My best experience as pistoleer, was when i got caught in some wierd bug on dant. I was taking savage quenker/piket plains walkers missions (I was 4-4-4-3 Pistoleer, 4-0-3-0 Ranger, 3-1-1-1 CH) but killing just about every other thing that moved... I found a lair of bol pack runners, so I took down the 3 outside the lair.. relatively simple, but never really got why the pack runners are actually easier than the normal bols... Well back to the story.


I started 'disarming' the lair and took down about 1/3 of its health and one baby spawned... one shot kill, a pack runner spawned, half way through that one, a normal bol spawned... I kept shooting at the buggers but they kept spawning at incredible speed! Must have been 3 every min/2 min! Didnt think it was normal.... Luckly i was buffed and wearing armour, and had some brandy in me... but with 3-4 bols on you constantly for 10-20 minutes ur mind steadly goes down, well to make a very long stressful story short, i managed to survive, with default attack (mind was hoving at about 20/1600) and was dodging almost every hit. Finally decided to use my 'combat' droid that i use to increase xp to attack the lair, got the bols attention and i burstrun away... It was fun


Ended up getting INSANE amounts of xp... about 4k per bol, took down about 20-30 of em this helped me get master


Tomorow im goina try all the new attacks i just learned with master!


Wish me luck!

i'm sure i can think of a lot more..... but here's a recent one.....
yesterday, buffs for three hours.... running around endor and collecting 22k meat from random spawns (i did one mission the whole time lol) and have a squad of stormtrooper npc's help me take on some savage robas andsavage boar wolves and losing 5k condition on my 500k suit of composite lol
taking out 5 blurrg trackers in under 5 seconds with fan shot cause they're all in a row is right up there with pistol whipping an enraged rancor


also earlier that day, with a friend of mine taking on marauders with multi-shot....... i don't care if the dps is low, it's so fun watching everyone bite it at the same time lmao


i've been using a pistol since day one, and i'll never give it up

I love pistols. I've tried all of the other proffessions, and they don't quite compare.



Alright, so right after I rerolled my character, I headed over to the Rogue CorSec base on Correllia. The ones out front were really easy, and started making my way through the back. If you ever do this at a low level, you'll know what I'm talking about. I walk into a room and about ten Rogue CorSec, all con red start attacking me. I run outside using bodyshot2, manage to take down one, then another, then another, using up all of my stimpacks, barely being able to stay alive. Finally, on the last one, he incapped me. I had pulled out my combat droid, and he got stuck fighting him. So I wake up, stim myself, and find that I can't store my droid or finish off the last guy. So I walked into another room and killed about twelve more con reds. It was enough to get me to pistols 4. Ahh...the good old days...
