I'm currently a Master Smuggler and 0/1/2/2 Pistoleer (very close to 0/1/3/3). What should I be killing to help me Master Pistoleer? Lately I've been doing Rebel missions at difficulty 16-20, so there are about 3 Imperials per mission that give 1.5-3k when killed. I'm mostly using the Smuggler specials Last Ditching and Low Blowing where needed, and occasionally Body Shot 2 to finish off a low health bar.


I've heard stuff about savage quenkers on Dantooine. Basically I'm just wondering if I'm doing it the slow way or what? And am I right to be trying to get Fan Shot first? Once I have that what should I be killing?


So many questions, thanks in advance for the advice!

Thanks, that was great advice. With just Health Shot 2 and Body Shot 2 I am taking them down much much faster. Haven't tried using armor yet as I left mine at home on Tatooine. I'm using chef buffs at the moment and it seems to be working pretty well. Five stars for you!

first things first , stop using last ditch . with the speed mods you currently have the damage per second of last ditch is very low because of the delay mod of last ditch . use health shot 2 for now , it targets the health pool and the delay is neglible , once you get fan shot you can start using it ( low delay , decent damage multiplier , and ability to damage multiple mobs because of aoe ).


npc missions are not the fastest way to level because of the fact that only 2 to 4 spawn per mission . savage quenkers are probably the best in terms of xp , difficulty and payout . with 70% kinetic ubese or composite and buffs you will be able to breeze through savage quenker missions ( buffs aren't necessary but highly reccomended because they will cut your downtime in half and probably allow you to do twice as many missions in a given time period ) .


always check the resists of the mob to decide which weapon to use , i use the fwg-5 , dx-2 , republic blaster , geo blaster and the striker pistol depending on the perticular mob i am facing .


if money isn't an issue and you just want to level really fast , go to the squill caves ( use fwg-5 they are vulnerable to heat ) or go to the tusken fort ( use dx-2 ) . also group with a pet to get the xp bonus .

I really started to like Roll Shot when I realized how fast I was able to shoot it while other pistol special still lagged. It's not AWESOME damage, but it's decent.


Also, use your Pistol Whip when up-close and really target their health while on the ground.
