Pistoleer Archive

I'm not close to master Pistoleer by far, but I'm going for it and I'm loving every minute of it. Bleedshot I & IIand bodyshot 2 makes most of my attack with Kickupshotwhen I'm up close and I do well while soloing and grouping (all marksman skills I know, wich in a way prove your post to be right).

I guess Bodyshot III will get fixed one day as well as Melee defense II, those 2 styles will thenbe worth the mastering of the profession alone andthen everyone will want to be a Master Pistoleer and you're already going to be there.

I'm planning on going up the Trick Shot tree from the Smugler profession to enhance my ability with the pistol. Like this I'm going to be a force to recon with in PvP as well as in PvE. There are styles that work pretty well...

We are deadly fighters, even if we are facing some serious issues.

Like the above poster said, hang in there, I'm sure they'll fix us when all the professions that are really "broken" will be fixed.

It's a whole new game once you master! It took me a good 10 days on Dantooine killing voritors to master and now I live for pvp.

Some adivce: Fan shot rocks, but only after you master. Until you do, use stopping shot for high damage, your only downfall will be the hams it cost. I suggest drinking a tat sunburn before you attack your mission.

btw, post patch, fan shot seems to be a cone shot, so i suggest you keep spamming double tap. Also, they say doge isn't work, but I have found great success with marksmanship. I am constantly moving around so that I won't get hit while I cause a great a mount of damage.

Good luck. If you have the skill points, you might want to go up the dirty fighting line in smuggler so you can get a KD. Low blow and panic shot rock

"have you fought a commando yet? I'm really curious how we fair in pvp against these bad boys. "

Commandos lost most of their power when the revenge tef went the way of the dodo. They can't do any of their moves unless they're within 16 meters.

It'll delay the actions of creatures in the area of the attack for 10 seconds.

Assuming it still works, that is. I've only used it a few times.

Yes, i have fought a commando in both pvp and in a dule. They are easy to beat. The rason being they are all offense and no defense. Their accuracy is horrible, as where a pistoleer never misses. I seriously don't see why commandoes are so reveared, and of the elite ranged weapons masters and beat them. Even a skilled fencer can knock a commando out. Commandos are great to killing AT and gnort hills, thinks that stay still.

Commandos were so feared because they could walk up to 0m from you with a Revenge TEF covert (blue untargetable) and get the first shot with their flamethrower at 0m, killing you instantly before you have any chance to respond.

They arent' quite as powerful now that the solo Revenge TEF has gone away. However, beware... the Revenge TEF lives on in groups. If you kill a Commando and are still fighting the dude(s) he was grouped with, he can come up to you blue (untargetable) and unleash another flame swarm at 0m that you can't do anything to stop.

Once coverts can no longer initiate PvP (yeah, right, like the devs are ever gonna' let that happen) Commandos will be alot more balanced with the other classes (BH excluded).
