Pistoleer Archive

Since they're taking away disarmingshot2 knockdown, i'm going bounty pistol. Thing is, should i drop stances and grips (have up to stopping shot and pistol whipwith 300k xp left)and go straight bounty hunter with fire knockdown, or is it worth keeping? I don't know how good bounty pistol is alone. I'm definately gonna grab torso shot (ewww, fire on tatooine). Also, since there's no combat xp in bounty hunter lines, should i use that to go up specail abilities for the extra speed??? Need insights...

i think going up the entire pistol and carbine line of bh is the way to go now. pretty much the only way to go if wanna pvp. just IMO

You are aware that 'Going Bounty Hunter' is not that easy of a choice, don't you? You have to be a Master Marksman AND a Master Scout just to be able to Novice Bounty Hounter. If you have some other career choice lined up, you're most likely not going to be doing that anymore because one you hit Novice BH, you've used 160 of your skill points. And you'll spend another 14 points going up the BH pistol track, leaving you76 points to find something else to do. You'll have enough points leftover to do something else, but you won't be mastering anything.

Aldack, uhmmm..

I'm one skill away from master marksman (slow azz rifles), and only need trapping and about 30k survival xp. I was a CH/pistoleer/medic. Going BH doesn't seem to be as hard as everyone makes it out to be. I have the combat xp and then some. Did carbine line and most of rifle (marksman) in one day on lok. BTW, i rather like my 380dmg, 4.8speed laser rifle. Too bad bounty hunter don't use rifles... I'm also on Bloodfin so pvp is paramount. Pistol xp is not very hard to come by (100k/day on lok), especially with pistol whips.... Carbine and LLC seems to be another story.

JCruz,

You should get BH pistol 4, keep the pistoleer skills, and train up to BH carbine 2 for underhand shot. The underhand shot will only be usable every 20-30 seconds thou. It is now in effect on test server, the delay i mean.

I think you should go for BH Pistol 4, and Master Pistoleer, cause you sound like you dont care about any other skills but offensive. It's too bad you wont have any chance verses theCH Dabblersthat will be owning you daily =). Nothing beats a 10k HAM pet that has range and is not effected by the 75% damage reduction.

master pistoleer isnt worth it all now. take all skilltrees to 4 except the pistol tactics line which grants dodge bonuses which dont work and crappy attacks like bs3 which has no point because torso shot is way better. you ll be shooting at speedcap anyways so you have some points spare to dumb into medic which you wouldnt have if you go master pistoleer / expert bh.
