Pistoleer Archive

in another day or two i will have the xp to be 0 4 4 2 in pistoleer tree ( i dont have the mastermarksmen box). with my current speed mods am i better of using stopping shot or fanshot. my weapons are a 1.5 speed fwg5 or a 1.6 scoutblaster.

I use nothing but Fan Shot since the delay is so small. Fan Shot is a little weaker then Stopping shot but its speed quickly overwrites that.

I'm a Health Shot / Fan Shot Fan Shot Fan Shot Fan Shot Fan Shot Pistoleer. I'm a Fan Shot FANatic.

Until you hit the speed cap, fanshot will do more damage per second.

Yes thumbs up to fanshot. I'm almost a master and I still use fan shot. Because you won't get a +20 speed bonus until you hit master, stopping shot is too slow.

thanks for the advice, i cant wait to get pistol techniques 4 now.

just wait till they adjust the caps. you will love fanshot even more.

Now if they would just make fanshot a cone attack

i currently use fanshot too - but on one of the other topics someone mentioned that with the master pistoleer speed you need a 1.3 speed weapon to be able to use Stopping Shot at max speed, which if true (i cant see why it wouldnt be) should mean that SS would end up being a better attack? Can a master pistoleer verify this for me?

I use StoppingShot with my krayt FWG5 because it is sliced to 1.4 and when I put a speed power up on it it becomes 1.0 speed. I can fire stopping just as fast as fan shot then. I only do this with that gun though the others I stick to Fan Shot.

At Mastery, my 2.5 SR Combat fires once per second with normal attack. When I use FanShot, it fires also once per second or a bit slower, you won't notice any difference before being OOA (Out Of Action). If I use Stopping Shot, I fire something like every 1.4 second or so.

I surrended Medic for some tests (I will make a post soon about that) and I am now master marksman which grants me 5 more speed. The fact is with 79 speed, I fire much faster than before and the 2.5 SR Combat almost fire SS once per second.


So imho, at Mastery with a 1.8 or faster gun, you can use SS once per second. Those guns aren't hard to find.

Whats cone attack mean?

I would hope that it would hit all potential targets that are currently in combat against you within a certain distance around your selected target.

At master, all specials take 1 second.

With a couple tat sunburns in me the carnage I can cause is pretty **edit** cool.

I love this class and it took a long time to get master. The only problem is I am now realizing that BH is still way better. I have BH 0/1/4/1. I'm going to take all the BH weapons I can and then max out the experience while I wait for pistol to get better.

That's cool for BHs but hopefully they'll fix us soon, before I grow impatient and just take BH. They are the best for PvP and PvE and I do about half of each.

One good thing about being master marksman, though, is when running around hunting the pistol is overkill, so you get to play with the other weapons as well.
