Pistoleer Archive

Not a retard flaming, just (as i said, not a flame, just my advice), just a guy sick of all the template stacking hoping to be uber. and i agree, pistols aint the way to go for krayts, doc/swords would probably be best short of jedi.

PS: i love the assumptions that people make "Hes the retarted master something who cant make lots of money, or solo any high level mob." both untrue by the way. my feeling would be that this guy here just needs to say things and belittle others to compensate for his own inadequacies. but again, just my 2¢.

if you are pistoleer your best bet for soloing is gonna be juvie krayts. A lower resist to acid makes them the easiest of the krayt family. Your best bet is to pull them away from the rest of the spawn by running this little pull macro I have. do this from your mnax range (64m)

This will bleed it and it will aggro you when the bleed hits. The other stuff will remain unaggrod and then it's just a matter of spamming your best DPS attack. If you have novice brawler, intimidate would be a good idea

I have MP+BH0040+Smuggler0040+FS melee def+novice commando.
90% composite + grind DE10 385 max.
So, i took canyon krayt with 350K HAM. After 15 mins and several FD it was 300K HAM.
Then pikeman killed it in 5 mins.
So i think, that theoretically i can kill canyon krayt solo before buff ends.
But this will very hard because other proffs, rifle/CM or sword/doc will do this 10 times faster.
IMHO, solo of hi-end mobs not for pistoliers in any template.

advice? stop feeding the fire of dabblers. if you're gonna do a profession, or combine professions, (now i know thisis an alien concept toa good percentage of SWG players, bear with me and flame on later if you so choose.)master it. Master BH/Master Pistoleer is a decent combo, as is Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer. and if you're gonna fight high level mobs, actually fight them, don't use exploits to get krayts stuck, and while not *really* an exploit, don't hide behind FD as a combat tactic while you sit back and watch the mother burn or bleed. FD is a way to keep your sorry ass alive in a sticky situation, not an easy way to kill high level mobs while you take little to no risk. and to answer your question as to weather or not you can solo a krayt with any pistol profession, not without a damn good pistol, the best damn armor ever made, and a hell of alot of luck. you wanted advice, there it is, take it or leave it. this is not a flame, more power to you if you can kill a krayt on yer own. even more power to ya if you can nail a combo of professions with good enough defenses to do so.

actually, my template right now is Master Pistoleer, Master Smuggler, Teras Kasi Master, Imperial Pilot Ace, and i'm working on Master Politician just for sh!ts and giggles. Dabbler am i? okay, i'll give ya that one, you're entitled to your 2¢. but hey, if thinking that pocketing my DE-10 every now and again to go toe to toe is fun, makes me a dabbler, alright, that's your opinion, and i can respect that. and i'll even agree with ya on the comment that it's wise to be a dabbler with pistols at the current time. and to whoever it was that i offended, nothing i said was directed specifically towards you, mainly to stackers in general. sure, stacking gives you a good advantage, be it defense stacking or offense stacking. hell, i used to stack offensive skills myself like crazy. but come on now, everyone that's replied to this thread so far, you gotta admit that this game would be hell of alot more fun without everyone and their brother stacking the hell out of every profession in hopes to be "uber". and if i've offended anyone, okay, but that wasn't the intention, if you choose to be offended by something you read on the internet, that's up to you. have fun kids!
