Pistoleer Archive

I'm planning on maxing out onebranch in the pistoleer class. I'm currently thinking of the grips and stances branch.

I plan on using long range weapons when not using my pistol, and using skills from the ranger tree. I'm just wondering which one you think would be the most useful?

Everyone likes stances the most.

But knockdown is (still) useful in the spec abilities line.

Is pistol marksmanship worth it? I have 3 boxes of stances and grips and I almost never use any of the specials. I thought maybe I might be served better by increased accuracy from marksmanship or speed from special abilities.

Because it takes so long to get the combat xp for specials, I'd recommend Marksmanship first. Depending on your points, I'd sell them back and get specials when you can afford the combat xp. Unfortunately, I'm in the opinion that Stances and Grips and Tactics are both not worth the time invested to get them. If all of the defensive bonuses work, I'd go with Tactics for the dodging over Marksmanship.

I have 3 boxes of marksmanship. Since everything else is horked up. I also have melee 1. So far marksmanship has treated me well. I do see improvments everytime I go up a box. I think I am going to do the one with disarm shot 1 next though, I want to try the lairshot.

I went up stances and am greatly disapointed, I wish I went up marksmen instead because our specials really suck at the moment, mainly because their all random HAM pool, it's like killing that creature 3 times preatty much. I can kill faster using my marksmen special then I do using my pistoleer specials, now that is very disapointing.
