Pistoleer Archive

I'd be lying if I told you that you wouldn't be more satisfied as a pistoleer having those dirty fighting specials.

I'd be lying if I said I've ever used any Pistol Tech spec other than Fanshotin lieu of Feign-Death specs. Panic/Lowblow/Last-Ditch are invaluable.

Is dirty fighting not very effective against PvE?

Dabbling really isn't my bag, but I am really tempted to keep the speed and dodge from Pistoleer once I master it, and then go Master Smuggler. I'd then drop Master Doc and use slicing as my primary income, since buffs are such a pain to make.

BH sounds nice, too. It's too bad I like the pistol, and became a pistoleer, since it's really not the best class for that weapon.

Just not neccessary to be effective. Fanshot will do plenty good at PVE.... and arguably about all fanshot is good for.....

Panic Shot Saves Lives, as does Feign Death. Panic shot is like a ranged Warcry. Instant 10 second delay for anything you hit, and unlike warcry, I have never found anything that can resist Panic Shot. Krayt Dragons and L337 players all fall before Panic shot. Feign Death is great simply because you can kill almost anything PvEwise in the game just by Bleedshot/Feign Death over and over. Great way to take down big mobs with little risk for TONS of pistol xp. You also get a ranged KD, which is absent in the Pistoleer tree (i havent seen stoppingshot ever put someone on their back). Low Blow is the way to go. And last but not least Last Ditch shot is the most powerful single shot in the game with a 6x modifier to your damage stats. I hit an ATST for 5k damage with my 425 republic blaster last night............ right before the second one i didnt see snuffed me.

Feign Death is always an option to prevent incap/db. With it, it's technically impossible to die. Of course, I do occasionally mistime it or mistime a heal and wake up in a Cloning Facility.

Low Blow/Panic Shot/spam Last Ditch.

Similar KD/Delay without the Dizzy that TKAs spam but we can do it at range.

Once I put em down, they rarely get up. Atleast in PvE. hehehe.

You sort of right. Last Ditch is the most powerful pistol attack. The most powerful modifier is Crippling Shot at 7x.
