Pistoleer Archive

Well I decided to go Pistoleer today (even though I only have Pistols 3 atm). The thing is that I am caught in a fight b/w getting Master Pistoleer or Master TKA.

The setup I want will have ONLY lvl 4 Flamethrower in Commando and either Master TKA or Master Pistoleer. Could you guys give me some advice on what I should do? Should I go with Master Pistoleer or Master TKA?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your playstyle. Do you like to win fights? Then TKA. If instead you enjoy hanging around Cantinas and Med Centers, Pistoleer all the way!

In all seriousness, if you have a flamethrower, how often are you going to use Stopping Shot? The specials in Pistoleer may be nice with a launcher pistol, however. Weigh that Launcher cert/Stopping Shot comboagainst the healing (including poison and disease) and massive damage and KD abilities of TKA, and decide.

Well I decided on changing my whole character. For some reason I dont want Commando anymore, even though they dish out good damage. I decided to go Master TKA/Pistoleer with Smuggler skills (0444). With that setup I have 4 extra skill points left over.

The thing is that I wanted to get the Launcher pistol since it is basically the "God of Pistols."

Have I made the right decision?

I would also like to know what you all think of these stats, havent gotten them yet cuz they are migrating. I am Transdoshan.

Health: 1000

Str: 650

Con: 775

Action: 1000

Quick: 450

Stam: 400

Mind: 625

Focus: 325

Will: 325

Do you all think these stats would work for a Master TKA/Pistoleer and Smuggler combo? I dont mind if you suggest that I restart with another race, I am a noob after all and plan on being here for some time.

Thanks for the help.

I tried a lot of different templates recently based on my Master Pistoleer skill.... Commando/Pistoleer wasn't as good as Smuggler/Pistoleer/TKM andit's not as good as BH pistoleer.

Launcher Pistol wasn't the best pistol. I find that overall I do the best PvP damageusing the scatter or a good republic.

If you are looking for trhe best possible PvP/PvE pistoleer character I'd do the smuggler/TKM/Pistoleer way. It was by far the most powerful character I have tried.

Thanks for the info. Should I consider changing my race though to better suit the combo?

IMO Humans or Zabraks are the only characters to think of using for PvP. I humans the best myself because we currently have the best stats and we can wear the most armour.

Whatehcrap,

I would definitely consider upping your mind, purely for defensive reasons, and especially for PVP. That's the achilles heel of all characters: as of right now, it's practically unhealable. (if you have an alt, or know of a master musician/dancer friend who will always buff you, it's not as necessary).

I agree that humans and zabraks are among the best races for stats.
