Pistoleer Archive

I was master pistoleer, expert BH for about 3 weeks and did a lot of PvP. It's quite nice. Missing is almost not an option. Only problem is you have a very inflexible character and 13 skill points that are basically useless, you can take three boxes of carbine or LLC but you'll likely use pistol almost all the time. Also eyeshot is being moved to master bounty hunter, which will kill off a lot of people with this template. Eyeshot is only a game-winner for playing against the unlucky or the stupid anyway. It's nice to havean option to hit mind though, very nice.But once you get into heavier PvP battles you'll find people have decent mind bars, mind buffs, spices, helmets, etc., and mashing the eyeshot button will end up getting you killed. The best use of eyeshot is for putting -blind- effect on combat medics, since they can't poison while blinded and can heal themselves anyway. Right now I'm going for Master BH, novice pistol, novice carbine, and novice medic. One thing you'll notice when you drop master gunfighter and the marksman tree is that firing while standing or running, you miss a LOT more.

That's the more inefficient way to go, though. Since you can just be BH expert and get pistol stances 2, and techniques 4 for all the benefits of pistoleer and +97 (same as +100 in almost all cases) speed.

Accuracy is plenty high with just the master marksman and BH pistol 4 so that's not an issue. Only real hit you take is accuracy while running but I don't think you miss enough for that to matter.
