Pistoleer Archive

ok everyone, I would like to sollicite your input on those thoughts :

I used to be Master pistol, Desperado, Dirty fighter and novice commando and I could therefore use all the pistols in game.

I would like to remain the super pistoleer I have always been but I am wondering what is a consistent template to achieve this under the new system.

First one cannot get all certifs anymore :

One pistol is for SL.

One for master medic.

DL44 metal is master marksman.

Master Combat Medic gets a blaster too.

Launcher remains commando.

Scatter remains BH.

Smuggler gets pistols too.

DE10 and Geo remain pistoleer.

Undoubtedly one will need to be master pistoleer to be a good blaster addicted. I was considering adding master smuggler since the specials of the smuggler are spread all around its tree, as the certifications.

- First question : does it make sense, on a tactical stand point, to go master smuggler and master pistoleer ? since they have same role, same weaknesses, same strenghts (crowd control) ? they are not complementary. Could someone tell whether the specials you get in smuggler are a nice addition to those of pistoleer or redudant? Would you rather go Master Bounty Hunter and master pistols, leaving 52SP left? what would you use them for? novice smuggler? novice commando?

- Second question, a Mpistol Msmug = 52 SP left. That is enough to get either novice commando (launcher pistol) with 6 additional Skill points, or novice BH with 35 additional skill points (scatter pistol plus some terrain negotiation bonus due to exploration), or master marksman with 29 additional skill points (to get the DL44 metal pistol, but question is : is the DL44 metal worth it, and does master marksman give bonus in either defense or attack that would be useful to us when using our pistols). That would not be enough to get master Squad Leader and get their blaster. That would not be enought to get master medic and get their blaster. That would not be enough to get the Combat Medic pistol either.

What would be your choice and why?

Thanks a lot for your opinion
