I'd like to get opinions from Pistoleers as to which FS skill branchesare the most useful for our profession. I am particularly interested in this discussionfrom a PvE perspective as a Master Pistoleer/Desperado, but any opinions would be welcome.

Combat Prowess - Ranged Accuracy, Enhanced Reflexes melee def and ranged

I cant remember offhand what the various skills are (I gave up the jedi grind as soon as I got into the village) but if I was going down that road I think the melee defenses would be very handy.

Yeah because we all know how many people are melee and how many mobs choose to punch you over shooting you.

I should have given my own opinion in my original post, but I completely agree about melee defense. That seems to meto be the most useful of all the FS branches for a Master Pistoleer, and it's the branch that I am now concentrating on. As for Ranged Accuracy, I had read that both that skill and Ranged Speed (both in the Combat Prowess tree) are currently broken...

...Can anyone confirm whether this is still the case? I am also wondering whether a FS speed mod would have any effect on a speed-capped Master Pistoleer/Desperado. Does it increase the cap? If not, then the Ranged Speed branch would seem to be useless for that template.

I just read the FAQ that I posted the URL to above, and think I just answered my own question. Here's what it said...

"Will Speed help me?
Depends, if you're already speed capped (master TKA, master fencer) then no, otherwise yes. "

...SoI won't be bothering withthe Ranged Speed FS branch, even if it gets fixed. It might still be usedful for a non-DesperadoPistoleerthough.
