well seeing that you should do better with a DE-10 than any type of scatter pistol a BH gets yeah go for it or go for carbineer

master bh is worth nothing to a pistoleer... the only new move you get is the fast blast which is only good for 2 little things:
1. if you see a enemy who is trying to be stylish wearing a skirt instead of composite pants
2. if your trying to get looting rights, you can hit all the pools for the most damage
i recommend you just get 0/0/4/0 or invest 3 with it and then pick up dirty fighting 4 so you have a ranged kd, feign death, and last ditch at speed cap.

well if you want to be able to use every pistol in the game and every pistol special except fast blast, then you can be:
Master Pistoleer
BH Pistols 4
Smuggler Dirty Fighting 4
Novice Commando
I know this was already suggested, but they didn't really describe it. It takes 244 skill points (out of your 250 total) and, as stated previously, gives you every pistol cert and special with the exception of fast blast, which is located in Master Bounty Hunter.
Also with this template, you cap out your speed by getting master pistols and the BH pistols line, and you get really good accuracy mods along with it. Your dodge is still very good at the 105 you get with Master Pistols, but Pistoleer and masrksman are the only places where you will be getting any defences.
As of right now, defensive mods are still the name of the game in PvP. Usually everyone has uber armor, but those who are capped with speed and defense usually are the last ones standing.
However, after the combat balance, armor and buffs are getting a big nerfing, wich means that your speed, accuracy, and specials will be able to bypass PvP's greatest drawback -- the armor ... also, every different armor type will have different resists than it does now, which means that blast damage on a launcher pistol, or perhaps the acid on the scatter or DX2, will be able to eat through armor like stun can now ... who knows.
So, right now, my template of Master Pistols/Master Smuggler/Teras Kasi Master could probably beat the above template simply because I get great defenses, but after the combat rebalance, this could very well be an amazing template ... shoot fast, accurately, and with every possible pistol/special there is (except, again, fast blast).
It's up to you whether you want to grind it now or later

Duedroth, you say that armour and buffs are getting a big nerf because that's all we know of the combat balance from what TH has said, what about attacks? We don't know what effect the combat balance would have on the professions skills and stats, we could end up in the exact same position as currently.

Right now Im....
Master Pistoleer
BH 0-4-4-4
Master Marksman
Novice Medic
Novice Brawler
I wanted to go MBH and drop Brawler but its sooooo NICE to intimidate with this template....
This template is the most PvP fun Ive had in a long time...
And also about Scatters... Its easier to make a Scatter better than a DE10 ANYDAY!
Here is why: Scatters take (1)!! Krayt tissue to make stronger ... Most weapons take WAY more.
So go out and serious Krayt hunt, youll most likely get 4-6 Tissues (wait for 100+ dmg to get good pistol)
and there is 4-6 strong Scatters now slice them... One will be decent dmg at least, apply Pup...
My current Scatter is 196-454 with pup.... Ill get better, just gotta go Krayt hunt more... Also this is way cheaper to do than a DE10 which is new (raises price) and requires a few pieces from the actual DWB (which raises price).
