Pistoleer Archive

Does anybody has a strategy to solo Force Sensitive NPCs?

As a pure Pistoleer? No. Bleed and run? If you have enough patience you can do that.

Since you have CH skills you can do it with your pets.

Well Solo, what I do is get buffed by a doctor put on some armor then I run into the cave pick one FS mob to kill then I do panicshot / Healthshot one / health shot 2 / Feign Death. When the bleed wears off and i am healed up I do it all over again until the mob is dead. Its boring as all but it is a sure way of soloing the FSers without a pet or friends.

Its much easier to get a group and kill them together.

yes. and you have the right skills to do it. the basic recipe is..

1. panic shot, panic shot

(often the firstone fires as aregular shot, so do it twice to make sure the delay sticks, now you have 10 seconds to work).

2. healthshot1 and healthshot 2

(again watch to make sure you don't miss on these, you should have time to shoot them again if you did).

3. Feign Death.

After the bleeds wear off it should be about half dead, so you're going to have to get up and re-apply it all at least once. I've managed to do 2 at a time this with with NO pets or any outside help.

Right ... as a Smuggler you can solo almost anything in PvE with Feign Death. Just being clear for any visitors that this isn't a Pistoleer skill. SanTsu will know why I'm saying that haha

Oh yeah, and after the bleeds have totally worn off, you can about 99% of the time get up safely to do the next Panic Shot without it aggroing on you first.

I am new to pistoleer but not to the game. I have been mostly medic and CH always so this might seem like a dumb question but oh well. Are bleed shots stackable? eg. healthshot1 and healthshot2

Yes they are

Thanks guys for your tips. I appreciate it

sweet, thanks

Well, acutally there is. Make sure you are just in range of the NPC, then shoot a bleed. If the NPC is a ranged attacker he will almost always go done to prone postion at that range, and that's where you begin to run
being prone he cant follow you, so you will quickly get out of way and the combat will end. Stay away till the bleed ends and go in and repeat. The only tricky part is that you will have to be in range to do a shot once he's about to die or you'll not get the kill. It takes some time but I've done it to maybe 10 or 15 FS NPC's.
Note that I didn't say it was the best way of killing them only that it was possible

Now I'd like to see a pure smuggler kill those... He needs the bleed from pistoleer more then we need his feign death

Yes, what zargon said. But it's tough to do if they have a blaster.

It's much easier if you have an overpowered pet though

If *all* you have is Pistoleer...I don't think you have a chance of soloing these things unless you get really lucky or do a lot of bleed/runaway stuff
