Pistoleer Archive

Wow, congrats! At best I do about 45K per hour (includes travel) on langs, any suggestions? If it's just a time factor, cool, if there is a tip like the CH line...

I went for BS3 as well, got it yesterday, and also melee defense...so I think I'm about as good as I'm gonna get (have a good scout blaster..50+ DPS or something)

Do you find you dodge enough to warrant that line being agood pick for defense?

What lead you to believe that having 0 medic skill was a good tradeoff? (I wrestle with this daily). Do you always have healers nearby or is it just too little healing (and drains precious mind) for actual PvP?

Thanks, and again, WOW.

Mameluke, you say that torso shot is better than BS3? Do you have any info on the damage multiplier/HAM cost for torso? I already have BH pistol spec II and was planning to start going for BS3, but if torso is really better...

With a 50-100, 2.4 speed scout (ive upgraded to 1.8 speed!), I was hitting with BS3 for about 250-350. Sees around 100ish more than BS2. For reference...

I am about 1/2 to Novice Pistoleer, have you guys tried the "Kip up shot".

I swear it seems like I am doing ~200avg and 260 max with it. Can you guys confirm your #'s.

Peace

I've hit for ~310 with Roll Shot using an 87 max damage scout blaster ^^

Body Shot 2 is better though, faster and less HAM cost.

So are you a pistoleer or a gunfighter in title?

If I stay in kneeling position Roll shot owns body shot2. It does more damage, and costs less HAM then bs2 for me. Just as fast too as long as I don't keep getting up.

Body shot 2 sucks my action bar DRY

Roll Shot I easily hits over 250+ with a 76 max damage scout blaster. I'm only on the first tiers of Pistoleer (I need to find a trainer bad) Oh btw, something good to hunt are Wolf Kimas on Talus....1,500 per and they're REALLY slow. Use Health Shot 2 on em and they will bleed quite a bit before having to use it again. I can get 20-30k per spawn. The spawn doesnt take long either.

Do I have to completely master scout in order to go to BH? Or just a few trees. I am a novice pistoleer and originally I wanted to go for smuggler, but I am pretty happy as a pistolleer and it seems the best pistol skills are in BH. I like grouping, but want to be able to solo as much as possible, getting a group together seems to take just shy of forever.

Anyway, I promise this belongs here...

Kip shot is pretty good, I usually do about 250 with it. I like a good kip, roll, kip, roll combo and I always start from as far away as possible with a healthshot.

I hit Master Pistoleer earlier today around 2pm or so. I'm now completely done leveling :-P Am I the first Master Pistoleer out there? If there are others, do y'all agree with me that multitargetshot sucks balls? I haven't tested it out thoroughly, but initial impressions are that it sucks hard.

How in the world could you hit master pist already? But if you really have which trees do you reccomend going up first? I'm still only novice pistoleer and don't have any tier-1 pistoleer skills yet .

--Oog

Well, first I went up the tactics tree to get bodyshot 3. I'ma BH also, so that slowed down my acquisition of pistolmeleedefence1, which will really speed up your leveling, since it lets you solo anything since it's so gay and cheap. If you're going BH/Pistoleer, I recommend you leave pistol tactics till later, since torso shot is better than bodyshot 3 and you get better skill mods for the bh pistol tree. Stances and Grips is a great tree, I've done a max of 1245 damage to a mob with a stopshot, and the resists are great for pve. Pistol Marksmanship you can leave till the end, since it's not vital that you become accurate on the move till you start pvping really. That's my two cents anyways.

Congrats on master pistoleer!

So what's "the skill" to have? Stopping shot seems to be cranking out some good numbers? Frankly Dodge seems kind of lame and I might not climb that branch if BS3 only does 300 damage. (And I thought 350 for Torso was bad).

Any tips on high level mobs to fight? Mobs that used to give me 1000+ xp now give me like 500 just from doing the BH pistol branch, so I can imagine soon they will be worth nothing as I grind the pistol tree. It's cool if you want to keep it a secret, otherwise drop mea mail or something.
