Well, I'm a Master Pistoleer/Bounty Hunter 0340 and have been using my Geonosian pistol exclusively in combat for a while now. Nowadays I find that many of my opponents have 37%ish stun armor on and my pistol is only cranking out 30-80 damage with eyeshot or torso shot on average. This presents a problem and I wonder; should I use an AP1 weapon even though the damage type will most likely suffer a 70%+ resist? Should I use Stopping Shot(Fan Shot has a lower damage and because i'm at the speed cap the damage per second is worse) for the better damage with the geo pistol and worry about the random HAM issue?

I am also considering dropping the master box to get Bounty Carbine 4 for the high damage random HAM Confusion shot so that i can use an AP2 weapon, but if Composite armor is only AR1 will it make a difference?

My current means of winning against these foes is to use a dizzy/kd then hit a bleeding DoT on health and torso shot spam with the geo pistol in hopes that the fire and bleeding will chew up most of mr. badguy's health.

Any input?

Most people only use a 39% stun helm........ try stopping shot with the geo pistol believe me it owns. I with my geo pistol, i open with torso shot, then followed by the BH bleeding shot ( hits all 3 pools and more power than Hs2 i think), then go to town with stopping shot. I drop most buffed players in under 10 seconds doing this.

if you're going to drop master and grab bounty carbines IV, you might want to drop some other pistol skills and grab some carbineer skills

i think the AP2 carbine is certed at novice carbineer anyway
