Hi guys =)


Ive been playing this game for about 1 week now and i am soon to become novice doctor. im also very close to becomming a pistoleer. From what i have read on this board it seems like Dirty fighting is a great skill tree to advance to be able to do great damage with last ditch and KD with low blow and panic shot.


Now to my question. if i were to take 0 0 4 0 in smuggler, master doctor and the rest in pistoleer to get some


better aim and dodge and such. would this make me be able to make some good damage when i need it? or would i just spread my self to thin? i also like the idea to have a skill combo that not many people have

Spreading your points too thin is a very easy thing to do in this game. I first wanted to go the same way you want to go, but as I played I just just realized that I wasn't that much of support class character, I wanted to be more of a damage dealer. Maybe running after people screaming "Heal me !!" is not my thing. Ok I'm not dealing the damage of a commando and don't plan to do so, but my damage is still pretty high and I shoot really fast (so I can beat those commando's that hit so **edit** hard).


So I went for the Master Pistoleer/Master Medic/Scout (4/0/4/0)/Smuggler (0/0/0/4) spec instead of going Master Doctor. Don't read me wrong I thing the way you want to spec is really good but if you don't go all the way to master pistoleer, than the smuggler line might not give you what you are looking for.


Going master Pistoleer and Master Doctor migth be what you want to do then. You have just enought points to do that, but not for anything else.


Anyway the


Me ? I just can't let go the Scout Terrain Negociation and Hunting lines...

It also depends on your playing style? If you like to group alot, then go with the above mentioned. However, I like to solo most times and I've found master pistoleer, master ch, medic 4/3/4/0 is a great skillset.

just to correct, if you master doc and pistoleer and do not take any of the ranged support stuff in marksman you have 18 points left, enough for any nov level and 1 box.

So scout and explore1 when you want to go themeparking, entertainer and rock for when there are no entertainers around, etc....this is my set and I really like the flexiblity of it, I may not be a good entertainer, but when no one else is on I'm the best entertainer in the galaxy I can find my own rescources and harvest my own meat if needed. Jack of all trades, master of 3.

Hi all, I am thinking of picking up the feign death line of smuggler for the pistol attacks and feign death. My questions to you guys are; do you think the pistol shots you get are very good and is feign death very effective in PvE and PvP?


Thanks

Last Ditch : Works very well, provided you pick up pistol speed from PIstoleer/BH. Gets a nice DPS at +100 pistol speed


Panic Shot : Not as effective anymore, was alot better before the nerf, but still has its uses when you need to heal


Low Blow : Ranged KD works greatif you have Accurancy/speed from BH or PIstoleer or else you will be missing alot


Feign Death : Works fantastic, nothing like having 10+ PC's around pissed because they cantkill you, currently there are some exploits to pull you out of it and Black bar grifing is a common acurance. In PvE most mobs will re agrro when you get up, but its great for situation where you need to heal things like mind,JUst hit feign and regen

So it works pretty much all the time in PvP then, with the exceptions of the exploits? Is there any time limit to how long you can do this? Also, you say that creatures will agro on you once you get back up, is there enough time to hit mask scent before they agro on you or is it instant?

You will not be able to mask scent when you stand back up. You are still considered in combat while you are feigning. If you want to break combat your only hope is to wait until they wander away a bit. The stand and burst run away. Be advised though that it takes a couple of seconds from when you hit stand (they start to agro as soon as you hit it), and when you make it to your feet.

Don't think there is a time limit. Be aware some crits will reaggro you even if they strolled away. In the Geo Cave I feigned a number of times trying to get away from some Kwis, but they would run back down 2 hallways as soon as I got up. They may be a special situation, however, because you can't outrun the bastages as it is

If you use a special move when you're standing, you stand almost instantly (if you spam it, all of your attacks hit, even while standing up) If you ever FD in the Geo caves, make sure there's someone near by, that usually clears the argo.
