Pistoleer Archive

Ever since I first played this game pistols has been my thing... I thought I was uber when I got my first scout blaster and had pistols IV.

I have tried different pistol templates...

Smuggler 0040 Master Pistol Commando - Lack of speed
Master BH 0040 Pistol - Lack of pistolage, too much BH
Master Pistol bh0040 - Quite Good

Now I am on my final last template which IMHO, works the best for me.
Novice Commando - Bh 0040 - Pistoleer 0021 - Smuggler 0040

With This i Can use every pistol in the game, Hit the Speed cap with the best shots, (last ditch, torso, eye shot,), up to a 2.7 speed pistol (and you dont get higher than that with the top of the range guns, on my server atleast)...

Think about it, your in PvP against an armored opponent, whip out your geno and smoke his mind bar! or Torso then proceed to last ditch! all at the speed cap
Or your taking down a base with some mates, the turrets are being a problem, what do you do? Last ditch those things with you launcher at the speed cap!

I Only have one problem with this template, which every pistol man has, High level MOBs such as nightsisters, Krayts, etc... Because of our low AP. Don't even say torso with the scatter, a rifleman with a t21 can easily outdamage you, and anyways, DoTs dont count towards loot

Might I make a suggestion? Thats a lot to invest for just te LP. I realize blast damage is nice for turrets etc but with your lack of defenses it makes it hard to go toe-to-toe with those things. I guess your right there with BH and smugler already anyway but I dont know, I like fanshot a lot and it doesnt hurt to have those status effect defenses from tech 3 and 4.

It looks like you have a fun template to use with a lot of offensive capability but as you said yourself the DPS isnt as good as youd like against night sisters and things so you might look for more survivability to give you that extra time.

In the end, it all comes down to what you think youll have fun with cause to try to get an uber template those pre-reqs for the hybrids cost a lot of skill pool and proove to not be much use in the elite status, and pistoleer does lack the damage and even defense of a rifleman.

I wouldn't like to go up against a Rifleman with only ranged damage mitigation 1.. and there's very little in the way of defenses in your template. But certainly lots of offense.

First off: The Commando is not a waste, I need unarmed IV for smug and master marks for BH

Second Off, on the rifleman issue, you clearly haven't seen me in combat with my 39% stun armor and 35% damage sliced geo...

i was the BHP4/rogue/NComando/some pistoleer template for a very long time in the earliest days of the game upto publish 6 i believe. It was completley unbeatable back then when defense bonuses were so small they were insignificant or didnt work.The problem i have with in now is its utter lack of defense.

The defense hasnt been much of a prob

I see fencers duel each other and fall asleep

Then i kill the same fencer in 10 secs...

think about it..

Warcry, intimidate, last ditch -stun, eye shot (geonosian)

BTW this is criminaljabba

are you saying this is a good template, cause its not. No mitigation= getting last ditched for 700+ everytime
