Thread: Hows pistols now
This is the Strongest Non-Jedi Profession in the game.
Uget a root, a delay, a defence Debuff for those hard to hit people, and an AOE. The only thing pistols can't do is hit far ranges and nuke.

As for its ability to do all of the things you mentioned, well...there is no such thing as "just" a pistoleer really. At least not in advanced combat. Its all about what you combine it with. CM is a popular choice, as is BH. To be honest, there are so many good combinations in the CU it is hard to say which is best. My advice would be to play the game and make up your own mind. If you want to know if you can solo with Pistoleer in your template, I will promise you that YES, you can. There arent many uber templates anymore...its more about your own individual playstyle and preference. If you play smart, you can make just about any full combat template very dangerous.
I would suggest HIGHLY that you pick up some healing. Either a good deal of medic, or CM/Doc 4xxx. There are definite advantages to mastering either CM or Doc, but like I said...its all on your own preference. Anyone who speaks in absolutes in the post-CU world (such as, "This template is by far better than this template") I would be wary of. There is no such thing as the best template...only the best template for YOU.
In short, play the game and have fun. Pistols rock....even if my DE10 isnt as cool as it SHOULD BE

That's due to combat medic rather than Pistoleer.
I Still think If you Decided to Go Master Doctor/Pistoleer/0-0-4-0 RM(And Master Doc would just be an SP sink really) you could solo krayts
Like you said in that post, there are alot ofTemplates to solo Krayts and most require justtwo professions.

I don't have rifles in that mix but I do have the rest of that template, I'm just so much cruncy armour and gooey sentient to a Krayt 
Doc is an SP sink there really, and pistoleer does need to be combined with high damage and/or other snares to manage this so that rifle line might fit the bill. I'd guess master almost any ranged prof plus 0003 pistoleer and whatever you need to make CL80 would be able to solo Krayts too, snare, root and patience is all it seems to take.
Gift.
