Pistoleer Archive

With vehicles and mounts you really dont need scout anymore.

You might think about dropping scout and going up fencer more.

I recently started playing and immediately liked the idea of Master Smuggler. When I started looking for complements to it, Pistoleer popped up as a common combo.

But then I started reading Pistoleer boards and found that many prefered the Pistoleer/Fencer combo for the major defense increasements...

So now I'm choosing between 2 different chars:

1) Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer + some scout and medic
or
2) Master Pistoleer/Smuggler 0400/Fencer 0440 + some scout and medic

The 2nd option would be a pure combat char but I'm also building a pure crafter on another server so I might get enough crafting anyway.

Is the 2nd option good for PvP? After some hunting with buffs, my impression is that defense doesn't matter much in PvE since you become pretty invincible anyway with good buffs, some drugs and a good composite.

Any comments are welcome
