I don't understand it, I guess I like getting my arse kicked in all the time, but I really enjoy being a pistoleer. I am in the process of building some armor for PvP. As you know there are lots of armor attachments in the universe and a very limited amout of sockets available on my armor. My question is, as a master pistoleer does it do any good to aquire pistolSPEED attachments to put into this armor or is my speed already capped? I'm thinking as a master pistoleer my speed will be capped and all the AA aren't going to help me. Or will the AA actually give me another speed bonus on top of my existing skill modifiers? Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.

At Master Pistoleer your speed mod is 74.


Throw in Master Marksman and your speed mod is 79.


You will cap out on some specials at these speed mods, if you use a fast pistol (1.6 or below), but to truly cap out on Speed (meaning you can shoot any weapon speed, any special at 1 shot per second) you need to raise your mod to 100.


Now it seems the speed cap equation is broken currently, once anything gets above 100 (dont' know the exact math equation used) you can shoot a 27 Speed Dx2 and still shoot Stopping shot at 1 shot per second.


So to answer your question, if you have some I would use them....because hte higher level specials with a 2.x speed gun, will not shoot at 1 shot per second.

He's right. Master Pistoleer (ironically enough) isn't the profession that caps your pistol speed. A conjunction of Bounty Hunter Pistols, and Pistoleer will cap you - but, with Pistoleer alone - you can always acquire some armor attachments that will give you boosted speed. I would't go all out, of course - maybe devote enough of your attachment space to get your pistol speed up to 85+ (which I had with Bounty Hunter - it's greatness), and than if you have room left - attach something else (for instance, a dodge) attachment ... you'll be sitting pretty.
