Geos work best since there is most armor dosent block it, But My De-10 works nice on those none armor wearers and Pve

For PvP I find that Geo Blasters work best against those 'Composite clones'. I love chewing down their Health bar. It would have been great if they were AP1 but it suffices. The DE-10 works great against unarmoured opponents and Jedi.
As for PvE, just use something with good speed.

With 40%+ stun prot. on comp and 40%+ PSG's it's about to the point where you just use a DE-10 for everything, of course this is assuming the other guy is fully prepared, which he usually is.

Depends on what your fighting....I normally use a DX2 when doing rancors....A DE-10 on most other PvE type things...For PvP I choose to use a geo blaster on armored or a DE-10...but when fighting unarmored ALWAYS i repeat ALWAYS use a DE-10 can kill em in 2 shots with good enuf shots

This sounds silly but how would one go about getting a DE-10...I am not familiar with it and what damage does it do. I do use a Geo blaster and find that against 'most' opponents it is pretty nasty. I also really like my DX2 and my FWG 5 just because I still have one of the original FWG5 Krayt pistols but you never know...

DE-10's are good depending on the target. Most everything in PvE has high Energy resists, so you won't see a big boost from DE-10s unless you're killing meatlumps (which, PM me if you spend 2+M on a DE-10 for meatlump killing...we need to talk) or get a DE-10 with huge damage. I find that a good scatter and a good FWG takes care of a lot of the PvE content in the game. Unless you're already doing TKM, the launcher pistol doesn't do quite as good as the scatter for the same skill point costs. One plus with the scatter is that many scatters have a low difference between the min & max damage. Therefore, ranged mitigation doesn't affect those pistols as much as a DE-10 with a high difference between min & max.

An FWG5 is NOT a good choice for PvP. It deals heat damage(comp takes care of that) and has a horrible min-max ratio. I also have one of the original pre nerfs...but would never use it in pvp. If you can get high damage scatter its your best bet. The acid eats right through PSGs and the min-max ratio is really low so it isnt affected by mitigation too bad.

Yeah, due to the Composite clones a GOOD geo is the only worthwhile pistol in PvP. A good trick is to find one with a good mind DOT (even if everything else is bad) and after the DOT lands switch to a geo that packs more of a punch.
For PvE, I like fast modified republics. They're AP1 and have a health bleed. Some creatures have different defences (like against energy damage), so having other options (dx2, fwg5, geo) for different damage is good. If you're just grinding, get a speed-sliced republic or a damage sliced scout. Scouts tend to be fast, so the extra damage from the sliceis nice. Republics hit hard, so the extra speed is needed. You'll burn these babies out while grinding, but that's what they're there for.

For pvp, get a geo, a good DE-10, a modified republic blaster,and a good dx2.
For pve, get a FWG5, a grinding-level dx2, and a good republic blaster.
