Pistoleer Archive

Ok, im in a dilemma, I will end up eventually with the following (after I master BH for the fun of it)..... 0444 BH (I won't need the investigation later... as the only thing it does it provide with BH missions, which equal money, which I'll have plenty of later on). Then I'm planning on doing part of pistoleer, part of carbineer, and maybe part of rifleman.

I've had two rundowns that I can do, both emphasizing carbine/pistoleer combat, but with some rifleman thrown in to conceal shot snipe.

The first would be this: 0444 BH, 1043 Pistoleer, 1300 Carbineer, and 0133 Rifleman. This would give me a decent melee defense, coming from both pistoleer/rifleman.... but would be more rifleman orientated. But this combo would give me very good (+50 on all) defenses to dizzy, knockdown, posture change, blind, etc. I would only have a dodge of +25 though... but a melee def of +62.The 0133in rifleman would give me FlushingShot 2, a good damaging special, even itit's randompool, and addionallybonuses to my dizzy, knockdown, etc.The 1300 in carbineer gives me a speed cap max out (+90 carb speed)with the best laser carb i can find for damage slice.... and crippleshot... both of those combined gives me a damage per second of 1961!!!! So I knockdown and dizzy/stun them with the BH carb skills, then go to town on them with crippleshot. This will be the same on the other setup as well.

The second would be this: 0444 BH, 4044 Pistoleer, 1300 Carbineer, and 0104 Rifleman. This would give me even MORE melee defense (melee def +82), more rifle speed (the pistol speed was moot even on the last one... it's well beyond the cap out speeds), and much more dodge (+80 dodge). But my defenses to dizzy, knockdown, etc would drop to these: +40 dizzy, +20 posture change, +50 knockdown (same), +40 blind, +40 stun.... I would be much weaker in rifleman, but could still conceal shot. But I'd be better at melee range combat theoretically.

The main reason I'm having trouble deciding I think is because I've never dealt with dodge, and I'm unsure how effective it is. Can you guys help? BTW, I hate getting dizzy! hehe.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm pretty much PVE based at this point.. if I changed to PVP some of that would definately be changed... what? I'm sure of... but I'm not worried about that yet.

What? nobody care to help? come on people!
