Pistoleer Archive

I need some advice on how to tweek my Template. I am a Master Squad Leader and I'm working on pistols for my combat abilities. I'm almost at Master Pistoleer now, but I'm curious if having the Smuggler line of pistols along with a partial pistoleer tree would be better than a Master pistoleer. Master Squad Leader takes 135 Skill Points and then to add on Master Gunfighter is another 77 SP. I figure that I would have to drop 11 Skill Points from the pistoleer tree to take the Smuggler pistols line. So I was thinking 2244 Pistoleer. I figured that way I would still have the speed and the specials, along with the dizzy, stun, etc defenses. I'd be sacrificing some dodge and accuracy. I need some advice on whether this is worth doing to take the smuggler line, or if I would be better off just keeping Master Gunfighter. I don't have experience at Master Gunfighter or with the smuggler pistols line yet so I don't know where to go. I do know that Low Blow is a good KD and Last Ditch attack is an awesome special. Any advice I can get from someone who is experienced with having these skills would be appreciated. And please don't say drop Master SL as I'm not considering doing that. I'm trying to build the best pistol skills to complement Master SL.
