Pistoleer Archive

hi, i too am a human pistoleer/ smuggler . if you have novice medic i suggest you keep your mind bar to atleast 800 and the mind stat that effects regeneration at 600. my thinking is that using a decent stim b i can heal my health and action for a minimum of 400 each at a cost of like 65 mind approx, so why waste points on the health and action secondries. my primary stats are 950 health 950 action 850 mind , my secondries are all 400 except for my mind regenration secondry.

also if you aren't buffed i would suggest you only wear a helmet and a chest plate for pvp (assuming its composite).

I am a human pistoleer what is the best way to set up my ham, to maximize my ability to use specials and wear armor.

Since pistol specials have low health and mind HAM costs, you probably don't need to keep high secondaries in those, unless your other skills require them. Put as much into your action secondaries as you can, as it will lower the costs of using your specials, and let you recover action more quickly.

Don't overlook mind, obviously. Low mind makes you an easy target for Eye Shot.

Ultimately your exact stat migration will likely be determined by the HAM costs of whatever armor you choose to wear. I had to migrate a little bit of my action secondaries to strength secondaries to wear my Composite, so that's a consideration. I'm also a Combat Medic, so I want to keep my mind secondaries as high as possible. But ideally, if you're a straight Pistoleer/Smuggler and your primary focus is on fighting, I'd suggest lowering your mind and health secondaries to 400 (or lowest allowable) and raising your action secondaries to 500 each (maybe more, depending on your style of play). Even out the remaining points between your three primary stats, so that you do not become weak in one area, and thus an easy target for HAM specific attacks.
