Pistoleer Archive

For one, I'd make sure to have some medic skills. It will keep you in the field longer. Other than that, you really need to give more info about who you want to fight.

A Pistoleer has an inherant weakness against ranged attackers (low ranged Defense compared to Rifleman), so Teras Kasi will not only bolster your strengths (status defense, melee defense), it'll supplement that Ranged Defense weakness. I may be wrong on this one, but TKA's defensive acuity increases your dodge/counterattack/block, making it a universal choice for any combatclass. You would also get powerboost which is a wonderful personal buff, as well as healing and other support abilities with meditation.

Commandos are horribly inaccurate and I don't think get any bonuses to pistol, to my knowledge. Unless you're looking to dust AT-STs, I would recommend avoiding Commando.

I doubt you'll have the points for this, but BH Pistol seems to be another excellent choice, with its wonderful eye shot that annoys so many other classes.

Overall though, I think your Smuggler/Gunslinger template will be very successful. That Low Blow/Last Ditch attack combo is an excellent compliment to the Gunslinger's speed and defense.

get some tka skills for the defenses

Ok. I am/will be a master smuggler and master gunslinger. What would be the best choice to add this this template to make the best PvP possible? My original thought was the triple master with Tera Kasi, but then I think about Commando with some flame and the launcher pistol. What do you all think?

Thanks,

Be a Jedi, that would help

Umm i think that right now, if you get BH pistol 4 and smuggler dirty fighting, you will be agod (matched with 4-x-4-x pistoleer for defenses). I mean, you get the speed, a ranged KD, and 2 of the best pistol shots- Eye Shot and Torso Shot. Throw in novice medic and you will be golden.

You do not have the skillpoints for that.
Can do smuggler DF, BH Pistols and Pistoleer 0303 = zero skillpoints left

Though It would be an interesting combo

Only thing I'd change is make the Pistoleer investments 0041 instead of 0303. The defensive mods +fanshot & stopping shot are much too valuable to ignore. That would be a killer template, throw some nice armor and buffs on it and call it Superman!

Panic Shot :: Torso Shot :: Eyeshot :: Fanshot :: Stopping Shot :: Last Ditch :: Low Blow :: PMD1 :: Healthshot2 :: Healthshot1 ::

Something for every occasion really.

screw bh their shots are weak. go df master pistoleer master marksman(For speed) novice commando maybe the flame line if you want it novice medic(i went 2 months as master pistoleer master smuggler flame 3 and no medic sucks sure i owned everyone for 30 secs but without a cm around your screwed) tka meditate line tka precision striking and your golden

Smuggler/pistoleer/TKA sounds pretty good. The Self-buffing/healing abilities are good for you. With the new HAM changes coming about, medic won't be quite as necessary cuz you're not going to be taking real damage from using specials.

Ok. Looks like most of you are thinking what I'm thinking. I'll do the tka route and hope that the new "changes" change the system the way we expect. I guess I should say that when my little group does raids we have a master CM and a master Doctorwith us most of the time. The tka line seems like a lot more fun than anything else also. Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate it.

Ya you are wrong defense acuity only works for TK, and its not even working at the moment, the reason being you have to be unarmed to even activate the Defense Acuity mods. There is a very well tested post in the Fencer forums by the fencer coorespondant that proves that the other melee mods stack with certain profession just not TK. Dodge stacks with pistoleer dodge, Counterattack with carbineer counterattack, and pikemans block with riflemans block this.

Fencer has the best defensive mods in the game. But TKA meditation and force of will is hard to pass up.
