Hiya
After several happy months of being a master pistoleer/BH I dropped BH so I caould be anarmoursmith. All going nicely, but I had a bit of an epiphany the other day in the GEO labs. Now ganted I went with a TKM, commando and double handed chap, but the difference between us was just absurd. DOnt get me wrong, this isnt a whine, I still had a great time, and do love the game, but when they were popping 4-5K per kill I was on 4-5 100 xp. It wasnt like I had a crap piece, I was using a geo blaster slicer up to the best part of 250 top end (not amazing but it should put most things on their ass). I just felt like I was a burden, taking a share of the loot I hadn't earned as I stood their spamming fan shot and pistol whip. I have loved the profession and doff my hat to all who stick it out, but I really think that being a pistoleer cuts out a lot of the content, I mean there is no way I'd ever survive a corvette run. Im sure there are plenty of you who have (bear in mind pistoleer is my only combat skill now) and I wont dispute the fact, kudos to you, but I want a challenge not a nigh on impossible quest. So it is with a great deal of reluctance that I sold out and droppe dpistoleer and started fencer. I feel cheap and dirty, having always felt a bit aloof about being amongst one of the most difficult combat proffesions and now going to melee, one I always though of as a bit of an exploit. However there are parts of the game I want to see that pistoleer simply wont cut it for. So Sorry folks, until Pistoleer can cut it in terms of damage per second as well as raw fun (cos it is great) I will be a classless melee clone. Plus ifthis force sensetive sith dude hade his arm amputated by vader...wheer do we think the new bionic arm will come from...and do you honestly see a pistoleer taking him down? ITs been fun, and hopefully I'll be back after the combat rebalance, until then good luck to you all.

I refuse to go melee. If I were you I'd stick with the classes you had initially...

Next time use a dx2, acid is best to use in there. And as for melee, i love ranged more than melee but if you don't have a template with ranged and melee you are at a big disatvantage to people who do. Powerboost from tk and melee mitigation 3 makes a hell of alot of difference.

I go with a friend, he is a tank with master swords and TKM along with master brawler and some defece from fencer, to the geo caves and we are a good team. Granted I havent been getting pistol xpmessages in a while but still when I was, I was still getting a few thousand xp per kill. Using fan shot I would get about 3-5k per kill and if we took on 5 thingsthats 15-25k xp fast. If you go again use a dx2 on most things.. always check resists.
