Speed is 91, faster than a Master Pistoleer at 74

I get to use a Scatter Pistol

I still get Defense vs. Blind, Stun, Dizzy, Knockdown

I get the best pistol attacks in game

I don't get Ranged Mitigation 3...is that worth it???

Any other drawbacks to this template?

Mitigation is worth it.

Medic is a real pain not to have but you were probably not missing that anyway as a BH.

yes you don't attack at the cap on last ditch or stopping shot

and you'll get pwn'd anyways by a rifleman

mitigation is key, as a tripple master i am a tank. People claim that mitigation doest work but thatis just plain stupidity

I used that same template fora long time, and it works really well....However, I really wanted to have more accuracy for mod stackers, and i missed having medic...Unless you are buffed, then that template will drain the hell out of your HAM...In big PVP engagements you will die period. So, once you clone it helps to have medic to cover your HAM costs....You are also very, very easy to hit....But as far as offense goes...that template will have you killin' most people as long as they aren't a "centered" master melee fighter, or a mod stacker....You will own the hell out of riflemen....

And btw, with my 2.3 speed scatter, I could shoot Last Ditch at one per...

When you get done, post again and I'll help you out with some tactics...

Don't do it, you will never have a chance against a master rifleman without mitigation 3 and if someone gets within melee range you are dizzy kd everytime they want to get it on you. With that template i could literally haedhit you twice with tka and you would be layed out. Every type of status effect someone can throw at you will land, expect to be kd layed out during all the batles and duels.

You have no Defense.....even though you do have some of the def vs **** mods....they are not high enough or nearly enough to protect you in PVP +40 is just about average and I agree with Jpshaffi01 that any status changing special you get hit with will stick a lot. If you get hit by KD + dizzy combo....you are done for. Mitigation 3 will be missed also. The upside is that you have the potential to deal big damage very fast and can possibly take out opponents fast....but lack of defense and medic skills will be missed.

seems like an extremely limited benefit for investing so many skill points.. That's like all your points just so you can use a pistol? Bad Idea. If you like pistols go with pistoleer and pick up a couple melee classes as well. Try pistoleer/smugg dirty fighting/tkm/and a tree from fencer or pike for some defensive bonuses (keeping in mind there will be caps on everything). That's my recommendation anyway
