Hello All-

Firstly, Merry Xmas.

Ok, I am a Master Marksman, but not sure if I can use Geo or DE-10 pistols. Can someone let me know what my options are with the pistols that pack a punch?

Thanks!

Geo requires Techniques 2 and the DE-10 is a Master level cert.

You will find that about half way through Mastering pistols it gets to be real fun and as a Master Marksman I would recomend getting BH pistols first. BH has the best specials this side of Smuggler and you get speed and accuracy in the same tree. The bonuses make going up the Pistoleer trees much faster. I wish I had done it that way.

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

the sr combat pistol might be a good alternative. it has light armor piercing, the downside is the maximum range of 48m. personally i'd take the scout blaster over the fwg5.

AFAIK, the pistoleer FAQ recommends you pick up a scout blaster (probably a speed sliced one) if you're looking to get pistols exp at that point. No AP, but with a speed slice you can (while buffed) still generate a cute DPS on most targets. I have a damage sliced one I use when I'm unbuffed. Nice HAM costs, nice speed, semi-decent damage with the special spamming I can do.

My advice is to visit a WS with pre-sliced weaponry, check out the speed and damage of a few guns, and then run them through a DPS calculator, like this one. Keep in mind that armour piercing light on the weapon will increase the damage done by 25% against a target with armour rating none. As far as I know, you'll most likely land with a scout blaster as your best option here, but just incase

Ok, thx guys...now next question. I have enough points left (21)for novice pistoleer and one full branch of the tree. Should I get Techniques so as I can use the Geo (is it that good?) or another route? Opinion from the experts?

Tech's. Fanshot is going to be your most useful special, there's useful state defenses in there, aswell as mitigations. It is pretty much the pistoleer tree.
