That was going to be my template till I got novice commando and loved the flame thrower.
My original template was going to Master pistoleer, smuggler dirty fighting line, Bounty hunter pistol line and then grap novice commando.
This is the ultimate pistol template, it has all the abilities that you have but also the abiltiy to use the launcher pistol which does blast damage which can be useful at times and its fun to use
If anyone has this template because i didnt get to finish it please tell me how it works.
With one of my alts I'm Master Pistoleer, BH 0/0/4/0, Smuggler 1/0/4/0 and Novice Commando. I like it a lot. I am working on getting the credits together to buy some good gear, including a Krayt Scatter, a better Geo and the best DE-10 I can. I keep all the other types of pistols for the different damage types which can come in handy at times. For the most part I use my scatter or republic blaster, occasionally the FWG5. I really only use the launcher pistol when I attack turrets. With this template speed is never an issue so I freely hope for damage slices and get all damage model pistols. Spaming last ditch shot I and a Master Doctor can drop any turret in a matter of a couple of minutes. If I were rebel it would make short work of an ATST also.
I like the template a lot. I had the occasion to fight a Super Battle Droid with a bunch of other people and I did okay damage to it with my scatter spamming torso shot. It attacked me once and I used feign death when I got close to death and then got right back up and went back to work. I am sad to say however that feign death did not work for me against a turret, that would have been cool.
This template gives you a lot of versatility. Feign death helps you stay alive when others would have died. Speed is never an issue and you can fire any special with any pistol at the speed cap. While the normal pistoleer specials need some work you get some other nice pistol attacks such as lastditch, lowblow, torsoshot, and eyeshot. Being able to do every type of damage except electricity or cold is an advantage. You are really only in your element when you can use a pistol with AP1 but the others are not bad.
Pistols are just cool. I have a Master TKA/Master Rifleman as an alt and yeah he's great but I enjoy playing this alt just as much, if not more in some situations.
