How do you sell your weaponxp for combat xp and can you do this with other xp (scout, CH, etc)as well? Oh and what is the point exchange ratio?

Sorry, I wasn't being clear. Let's say he had 12 skill points to work on. For Stances I, he needs 60,000 combat xp. In earning that, he's accumulated 600,000 pistol xp, which means he could spend his skill points as he works on the comabt xp to get Marksmanship I and II. Then, we he has his 60k combat xp, he can sell Marskmanship II and pick up Stances I. Then, when he has the additional the extra 85k combat xp for Stances II, he can sell the rest of the Marksmanship skills and dedicate all remaining skill points towards Stances.

It's just a nice way of not letting unused skill points go to waste and make you more effective as you're climbing the slow combat xp ladder.

Hi All,

Working on my Doc/CM skills, I needed some combat skills and selected pistoleer as the speed doesn't really interfere with my healing. I have a few skill points left that I can put into some skill boxes here past novice pistoleer.

I do a fair amount PvP and Hunting with a Pet.

I also have some nice Health Poisons I throw from my CM side.

In PvP, I 'll toss a health poison, hit with Health shot 2, then a body shot. I get a nice bleeding effect going.

In PvE My Gurreck tanks, I hit with Health Shot 2 and body shots. Again Bleed is pretty nice

If my understanding is right from my tactics above, I should not worry about Disarm shot, (Not sure what it does) Stopping shot or fan shot, (as they affect random ham) and probably concentrate on either the marksmanship line or special abilities lines.

I'm leaning towards special abilities because of Melee defense and the speed will help with my DPS and interfere less with my healing tasks in the queue. Sadly this will take me forever as it's combat XP I need, but then no time like the present to start.

Am I understanding the skills correctly? I think I'm forgetting something.

Thanks

Doc Pepa,

Thumbs up from me. If you're impatient about the combat xp, spend your pistol xp on Marksmanship and then sell the points as you need them for the Stances line.

Is the speed increase that important in the stances line? I just buy faster guns to cap at the 1 second limit. I decided to go accuracy. May have been a noob decision, but hey, I was a noob at the time.

Wanted to comment on one part of your methodology - Health Shot 1 and Health Shot 2 stack (2 separate bleeds). So for maximum bleeding, along with your CM poison, hit the target with both of the Health Shots.

I do this easily by having them macroed to one button:

/healthshot1;/healthshot2

This way the first thing I do is bleed them, then BS2 them all the way down to nothing.

Ohhh Cool! I forgot all about macroing the the 2 health Shots

Imay play the boxes and see, but I usually can afford the best guns yet with the 1.6 speeds on my server (80K) ouch on a Doc Salary.

Yea! you just cleared a box in my Toolbar !

Thanks,

Doc Pepa
