Well if as a pistoleer your facing someone decent, they'll probably have ranged knockdown, so if your close use pistol melee defense. If not, you will probably get knocked down and killed before you get back up. That is unless your hunting newbs, or there shot misses.

Work on smuggler and get panic shot. Delay them for 10 seconds, burst run up to them, and pistol melee defense b**ch slap them, then stack healthshot 1 and 2 on them, and fan shot or bodyshot them to death.

If you want a delay effect, Novice Brawler has Warcry. It's like a single target panic. There are times when panic shot isn't the right solution(overt surrounded by TEF coverts). That's when you want to use a single target.

Ya see, thats my problem with master pistoleer. Every reply has stated to "dabble" in other profesions in order to be effective. The simple fact is, unless your PvP against a dancer or a musician....your as good as dead with just PISTOLEER skills.


(the same may be true for pure riflemen and carbiners aswell....i dont know)


Im not saying we should be uber...not even close. But all i know is if you battle a BH as a pure pistoleer...out of 10 duels...you will win ZERO.

I am a Pistoleer/BH, and can own pretty much anyone using my scatter pistol and only Pistoleer skills.


I walk up to someone, hit pistolmeleedefense1, then mash my stopping shot key.. i usually kill them before they get 1 shot in, which is probably due to having a good scatter pistol.. If you had an even better fwg5 though, or a good dx2, you should be able to have the same results. Basically all BH is good for is having Mind/Flame attacks as backups for specific situations. I mainly use stopping shot in PvP because of it's ability to sometimes incap way way way quicker than torso shot or eye shot. So maybe if you're a pistoleer you could look into becoming a novice commando just for the blaster pistol cert. It does more damage than any other pistol. I've been thinking of doing it myself because stopping shot w/a blaster pistol would be insanely powerfull.

You did not understand it correctly, then.


"Ya see, thats my problem with master pistoleer. Every reply has stated to "dabble" in other profesions in order to be effective. The simple fact is, unless your PvP against a dancer or a musician....your as good as dead with just PISTOLEER skills."


Yep, you're not supposed to be able to take on people who spend 200+ points in combat with just your 93 points.


"I am a Pistoleer/BH, and can own pretty much anyone using my scatter pistol and only Pistoleer skills."


No you're not. Scatter pistol is a BH pistol skill. +50 speed is another of the BH skills you're using every time you use that pistol whether it's a scatter or some other one. So is the accuracy. So... you're not just using pistoleer skills. You may be just using pistoleer SPECIALS but you're using your BH skills.
