do pistolers do good in DWB ??

i am talking about just sitting in the front room sry i forgot to say that

Considering that pistoleers have a variety of guns with different damage types, and that the mobs in the DWB vary in resistances, I can say that it's at least good to have one around at the DWB. I was just there, and I was glad I could at least hit those battledroids/blacksun mobs.

One more note, don't solo the DWB

I can tell you from personal experience (as I have been there many times with my guild) Pistoleers are nearly worthless except when dealing with blacksun... nearly everything is medium armor or better with large resistances.

Despite have a variety of damage types... most of them are AP0 and are nearly useless.. and the few damage types that have AP1 are not very useful.

To top it off... our damage output is so low that after taking into account the AP differences and resistances damage is negligible considering the rather large hams found there.

My sole usefulness comes from Squad Leader in that I can remove dizzy and stun.. otherwise I am just a stimpack-sink.

You go there and you have to fight back the tears at how worthless you are there.

I must confess the most useful thing I can do there comes from bounty-hunter. Sticking 50K flame wounds on an SBD is fun!

Last time I was there, we had a Swordsman/other melee hybrid, a Master Pistoleer/dunno what, a Master Pistoleer/CM/Doc, a Commando/TK something and me (4440 Fencer, 0042 Pistoleer, 0040 BH with the remainder in various FS skills). Three pistols, one sword, and an alternation between flamer and hands. We got to the engineering room without being close to dying (then the Pistoleer/CM took a headhit from a Blacksun wielding a T21 and was doomed. I only had 10 minutes on my buffs then so I did a mad dash and got ganked by a bunch of SBD's).

The only two guns I used were repbulic blaster and DX2, and both ar AP1. Oh sure, pure damage wise I couldn't compete with the swordsman, but I wasn't useless either (though as I said, that's more likely to be BH skills than anything else).

I like the place. Except for the droids, since they only take the flame dot, I can play around with bleedstacking, flame dots, intimidates and KD's. I can, without any semblance of medic skills, juggle two henchmen a thug and an assassin this way.

But, then again, I'm a filthy hybrid specifically made to use pistols -_-

To sum up your questionin one word: NO.

BUT

Pistoleers are great because (especially at a high level, with BH pistols) you use a fair amount of state-shots AND use a range of different damage-type pistols. Ultimately though, nobody can solo DWB, and even swordsmen and TKA have a hard time. Saying that, with a top-of-the-line krayt DE-10 you will be able to keep your head above water in a group with plenty of tankers and medics!

I was at the DWB last night I am MBH/Pistols 1/3/4/4 and although I used pistol attacks for most of the time it was mainly the BH pistol specials I used to help take the mobs down my damage was ok nothing great about it and ppl did want me to use LLC instead. I would say I was not usless within the team but I would say that if I went down it would not be the end of the trip for everyone.

Oh and sorry for the double post.....this thing has nearly as many bugs as SWG
