Im a Master Pistoleer Master TKA and ex Master Smuggler.


What do you think would be better, Ranged Accuracy or Speed from my FS trees?


And why?

Normally I'd say Ranged Speed. It would let you get closer to the speed cap. But, I think I've heard it said that at the moment ranged speed is busted and only works for heavy weapons. Can anyone confirm this?


If it is, then I'd go ranged accuracy. Both are very nice for a pistol user who doesn't have any BH pistols. If speed works properly, or if it is going to end up working properly if its broken, then speed is probably the better choice over accuracy.

FS Ranged speed does work for pistols, and amazingly enough has some affect on melee weapons...this has been reported.

I would go for speed over accuracy for the moment, and the 2 defense lines are useful in any template....

You may also want to consider a ranged defense. You are sacrificing Ranged Support 1 which provides +2 Ranged Defense. If you take FS Ranged Defense it will give you a +5.


I am dabbling ... Ranged Speed 1, Ranged Accuracy 1, Ranged Defense 1.


TKA gives me high enough stats, I don't think I need any more.

I heard that the fs gives you a 12 percent faster then just adding the +12 to speed. Anyone know which one is right?

I think its +12, there are 4 boxes and each say +3 to ranged speed. I'll look at the skill boxes next time i log on.

Jp, Yeah its +12 but is it +12 added or 12% faster then what you currently shoot at. I started doing some tests(Picked up all the ranged speed and accuracy rows is FS) and it seems that last ditch wasnt hitting as fast as it should. Its hard to really tell if your capped or not, but so far i believe that it is either 12% or just doesnt work at all.


For testing a shot at a speed capped riflemen and every few shots he would get in two to my one. Not sure if this is an accurate way of testing or not

from what i have heard +12 would be 12% as would +3 be 3% and that persent is off of the speed of ur pistol but it cant drop down below a speed of 1 and that is why i believe that the speed cap is +100 but i could bne wrong.

wow if thats the case I just wasted one of my free rows. If it is a percent it just screws over pistoleer even more, by only benefiting pressions with allready high gun speed(riflemen)

Get +20 in speed tapes if you can and go Ranged defense. Your template has rather low (54 if Im not mistaken) ranged defense, so +12 would be an AWESOME boost to it. If you can't afford +20 in tapes, then get ranged speed.
