Thread: how do u gys get so good in pistoleer
THX U DO NOT NO HOW MUCH THAT HELPED ME BY THE WAY ANY OF U ON VALCYN
biwan:
if your Novice Pistoleer with pretty much any skills you should be able to OWN "normal" quenkers...make sure your getting the 5000-5200 credit missions. Savage Quenkers WILL own you although
Get buffed, wear good kinetic armour (50% and up, preferably ubese or high end chitin), use brandy.
Hunt savage quenkers whilst grouped with a low-lvl pet, spam healthshot 2 all the time.
Savage quenkers give 4k xp and there are 6 in a lair. That's around 25k xp pr lair. You do 2 lairs pr run, netting 50k xp pr run. Depending on your skill you can do 3-6 runs pr hour, meaning 300k-600k pr hour.
If you find you can't handle savage quenkers, do quenker missions until you can handle the savage ones.
) Take a double shot of brandy and keep taking another shot every 10-15 mins. Then I group with my pet and hunt huurton huntresses and get about 4k-4.5k exp a kill and you get 6 mobs per mission. It's the 7300 cred mission on Dant. I can get 250k xp in a couple of hours without trying real hard. My HAM's don't even go under 2.5k ever. I'm on my last 750k xp till Master.
Dantooine, Savage Quenkers. If you have Marksman: Pistol IV, a speederbike, and a nice gun, you are ready to kill savage quenkers. Getting buffed is handy, armor is optional--I never wear armor. Call out your pet/droid and group with it, tell it to stay near the terminal, but out of the way so you don't grief other people. Take two missions for 6800-6900 in the same direction. Just keep looking, the time you spend finding two in the same direction will be less than it takes to drive between two in different directions.
I use a FWG5 (80-273/1.8) and previously used an 83-235/2.0. Just find a good gun, you don't have to drop a fortune on a Republic Blaster. I'm sure your DX2 is fine, too. Now you have your missions, jump on your swoop (if you use a speeder bike or X34, fine, but it's not as fast hehehe) and drive to the first mission. Ignore anything along the way, just get to 65m from the lair and hop off. Pick one of the savage quenkers, lay down, and start spamming HealthShot1. It will probably die before it even starts charging, but if it's still coming, stand up and start kiting, it will die before reaching you. Kill the other one. Shoot the lair ONE time and peace, then kill the next pop. As it dies there should be #4 waiting for you, kill it and blast the lair down to about half and peace. Kill the last two pops then finish the lair. You will see little to no mind drain without armor on. If you really feel paranoid, put on a helmet and drink some brandy. After the lair blows jump on your bike and haul ass to the next lair, repeat and drive back to base. I make a round trip in 10 minutes now.
Savage Quenker (3900xp) x 12 = 46800xp
Savage Quenker Lair (4100xp) x 2 = 8200xp
Average Mission Pay (6875cr) x 2 = 13750cr
I've never seen more than two babies spawn in one mission, but let's assume 1 pop at each mission averages to be a baby. That's 7800xp lost, let's make it a cool 8200xp and just figure the lair offsets the baby spawns. 46000 experience every 10 minutes--I pull the rate without trying. I can buff myself for 3 hours and 45 minutes, but most buffs last 3 hours, easily.
46800 x 18 runs = 842400 xp in 3 hours
13750 x 18 runs = 111000 cr in 3 hours
When the doctor (like me) tells you his buffs cost 13K, don't give him **edit**, just pay him. For the doubters out there to the validity of this claim:
HealthShot1 x2.0 DMG x1.0 DLY
Until Master Pistoleer you aren't going to beat that, even with FanShot.
