Pistoleer Archive

I am seeking input from the experienced and intelligent minds in this forum to determine what build I should choose if I desire to engage primarily in PvE (do themeparks, badges, holocron searches, explore etc..) and focus on pistols. I know there are a lot of broken certs and problems but I dig the pistols.

So other than the obvious mastering of pistoleer how do I evaluate the choices...smuggler line has some knockdowns, bounty hunter line gives two good specials (once eyeshot is taken to master) and some good bonuses, novice commando provides the launcher pistol for good damange of a different type, creature handler provides a tank (thoughpost nerf it sounds likeit willrequires master to get a decent one), Medic skills are always helpful....

What am I missing? How does that add up?

Thanks,

Lothos

I myself plan on going some sort of commando/smuggler/pistol/medic. If you plan on going PURE pistol though, i would try to master pistoleer, and then go for the dirty fighting line of smuggler, which give the best pistol specials in the game, hands down. Bounty hunter in my opinion is not worth the investment of skill points unless you plan on mastering it, and creature handler will soon become useless. Medic skills are invaluable, even if it means just having novice for stim Bs. Hope this helps.

i'm going for master Pistoleer/Smuggler/Marksman with some Comando 3 0 0 0 for the launcher pistol and defense mods(even though the mods are broken like everything else). i normally have a friend with med skills around so i'm not worried about that. but it will suck when it comes time to give up the scout skills i have until they finally give us mounts and/or vehicles.

If you are gonna solo PvE, and want Pistoleer I like Doctor/Pistoleer. You can heal, buff and fight. And you are also useful in a group being able to heal and shoot

Grrr, edit button please.

And also get scout as much as possible too. Helps for mask scent and camps etc. Although this is more useful as a soloer than in a group.

i would reccomend getting novice smuggler, and the DF line while getting the speed line of pistoleer,(separate exp needed, pistol for DF, and combat forStances)

then with feign death, KD, panic shot, and last ditch, start working on pistoleer stuff, just get some really fast guns for this, working well for me, i use pistolwhip/lowblow a lot followed by pancic shot ,the bleeds, intimidate(brawler) and Bodyshot2, im almost to last ditch, the TECH line of pistoleer isnt quite as usefull as the DF line, until thedefense mods start working, i would say DF+pistoleer stances, then after you make rouge, finishup the pistols, and medic 2/2/0/0 works well, heal bleeds, and heal at +35 injurytreatment, with speed mods on heals just my advise though

scout 3/0/0/0 is also a helper on staying masked and not having to walk everywhere

till vehicles then you can plow over the kreeles hehe

i have done almost all

done

cm/pistoleer -(when i was a cm poison cs did 17 damage) bias

doc/ pistoleer -you can get a buff just about anywhere so unless you like healing other people while they fight and you not fight not worth it

ch/ pistoleer- great while it lasted but you cant get used to playing when your class changes every week

now i am

pistoleer/ smuggler/ novice medic/ novice commando / marksman

you get +5 speed at marksman for lastditch and at commando you get the launcher pistol(since fwg5 is getting nerfed you need something to replace it) with last ditch you can destroy turrets or if your rebel atsts with easy i do about 3500 -4000 damage per sec witha good gunto them. in pvp i hit lowblow>panic>last ditch= 250 damage> 300 damage>1k+ damage and if they are still not dead hit them one more time with last ditchand they are done

another thing i am starting to see more are master combat smugglers

master combat smugglers are master smuggler master tka master pistoleersif they ever get defenses working they would be a froce to reckon with
