Pistoleer Archive

Hi all Im working on Master Pistoleer and would like some advice.

Im a Master Marksman,Master Scout and Novice Ranger, I will be a Master Pistoleer soon and ill have a few spare skill points. I was wondering, if i take up Bouty Hunter and onlylevel to maxBounty Pistol Specialization (IV),will the skill mods for Pistol Accuracy and Pistol Speed stack, ( i mean will they keep improving my accuracy and speed even after mastering Pistoleer and marksman,) and will the Bleeding Shot Ability stack whith healthshot 1 and 2.

I dont need any Medic skills {as i always travel whit a Medic/Doctor,} and i cant do the Pistoleer/Smugler or the Pistoleer/Smuglercombo cause If i do i would have to Drop Tracking 1 from the Ranger Profession and i dont really want to do that.

Any info on this would be apreciated.

Master Marksman, Master Scout, Novice ranger 0010,

Ok i have been a master pistoleer i have also had all the bh pistol skills and all the smuggler pistol skills.

So that said yes the pistol skill mods do stack and yes the various bleeds do stack as well.

Since your gonna be a master pistoler the bh line will let you shot faster and more accurate but at the master level it wount be a huge differnce imo. plus you will get eye shot and torso shot which are fine attacks, especaill eye shot when facing buffed opponents.

However it is unfortunate that you dont want to get the smuggler skills because imo they are the most powerful pistol skills out of all the pistol skills. In the dirtyfighting line low blow is a excellent ranged kd and last ditch is very powerful especially when used with low blow however the best move you get is prob panic shot which gives you the ability to delay a person for 10 seconds.

i got the dirty fightin line, the BH pistol line and the techniques line from pistoleerand man o man it works great for me.

/lowblow

/panic

/torso

it works cause you have then enemy down for 10 seconds if you do it right then you have the flames and torso shot always hits the health bar. So you dont have to worry about last ditch hittin people with buffs. It breaks some of the best people i have ever seen. problems with this config, i dont see significant ones actually.

bleedingshot is a mind bleed, good if you have a rifleman friend, bad to stack with healthshot1/2, well, not bad, just sorta useless.

gg idiot pistoleer noobs one stared you!

Is it possible for me to be Master Pistoleer/ Doctor and access the Smuggler and BH pistols tree?

Thank You.

thats like 6 mastered professions in skill points you can only have 3.5

While on the topic: How does Fan Shot compare to the smuggler abilities? I am a master smuggler, gaining pistoleer slowly. Just about to get Fan Shot. should I replace any of my smuggler shots?

I don't have last ditch myself, but know several that do.

It seems to me that fanshot does not compare to smuggler pistol speciales..

Fanshot only seems to be great in that you can rack up xp alot quicker, because you can shoot multiple enemies at once.

But for real dmg dealing.... last ditch is the way to go. Think of it as stopping shot with fanshot speed.

The speed in the BH pistols tree will be extreamly usefull, as you can then get some custom designed pistols with higher damage. Also you can pick up a scatter pistol that way and that sucker is much better than anything a pistoleer has to begin with.

I'm not sure how well it would work, but if you could pick up a launcher pistol at the same time, you might be pretty well off. that'd be master pistoleer, dirty fighting 4, novice commando(for the weapon cirtification) You wouldn't be able to go up BH, but i'm not sure if you'd have to if you got a decent launcher pistol.

that's just theory though, i'm not sure how it would acutally work.

i used to have bh pistol4, novice pistoleer, dirty fighting 4, novice commando. i was a turret killing machine. at-st's would also fall fairly quick to my attacks. especailly with my krayt launcher pistol. if i used eyeshot with that, peopel were dead in 2 hits (without helmets). if they had a helmet on, it took 3 with my krayt scatter pistol. but, when mitigation hit, i wasn't doing the damage i once did, and i was getting creamed for lack of mitigatin myself (i only had melee and ranged mitigation 1 with the dirty fighting tree). i would say master pistoleer, then go up the bounty hunter tree as far as you can go. eyeshot is worth it, and so is the scatter pistol. that gun alone is better than any other when dealing with ranged mitigation 3, even the post nerfed ones.

of course, i didn't follow my own advice. i'm mastering pistoleer as we speak. i still have the dirty fighting tree from smuggler, and for fun, i mastered pikeman. if it wasn't for pikeman, i probably would've gone the master pistoleer/expert bh route, but i needed a change, and no one is a pikeman .

Thx to all for the info, really usefull.

Knighthawk Last Ditch does more damage but slower than Stoppingshot and alot slower than Fanshot. I still use LD rather than SS.

I'm a master smuggler and 2 4 4 4 pistoleer, if you want to get pistol xp faster then get Fanshot it cut my mission time in half.
