Pistoleer Archive

Hello fellow SWG'ers

I've been tossing and turning and mulling over how i what to lay out my char. I'm down to two char schematics that i realy like so far.. the only problem is i'm stuck at the fork in the road not really sure which way i should head. I was hopeing that some of you guy out there can help suggest which i should go for.

I'm currently working on becomeing a master pistoleer, this is for sure and i'm not wiling to get rid of ths skill tree. has takenme quite abit but i like the profession. How ever i'm stuck as to what i should do with the rest of my skill points. These are the two paths i have though out and like the most:

1. Work on my scout skill tree and become a CH .. max out training and taming and then put the rest into my medic tree. I like this set up because i'll have a decent pet.. which will be nice for PvP and PvE when i need it. and the medic skills for the healing power alone is worth it's weight in gold.I won't be the superduper asskicking machine .. but i'll be able to hold my owen i think. so in the end i'll have a Master pistoleer.. plus master two lines (training and tameing) CH .. and a medic with at least first aid III and maybe abit more.. (sorry i don't have my exact numbers right now.. but it's pretty close to what i'll have)

My second schematic is:

2. Still have Master Pistoleer.. work on my marksmen and get to master marksmen.. and master my scout tree too. Pick up BH, anddrop my medic skill to free up some points. (other wise it's not worth going BH). That way i'll have enuff points to master BH pistol. So in the end i'll have Master pistoleer, plus Expert BH pistol.. and thats about it.. i think i'll have like 4 extra skills points left over. The plus side to this set up is i'll be very good at pistol... basicly i'll have best of both worlds.. but at the sacrifice of healing power.. i still can use Stimpack A's but as you knw A's don't heal that well.. more so when your in battle, but i'll prolly hit offten and hard if i go this route. I gusse i could buy a surgical droid.. but i'm not sure if they heal battle damage plus wound too. And it's prolly not the best thing to stick your surgical droid out in the middle of battle.. prolly won't last long that way

Anyway.. i'm really not sure which wayto go... in the end i want a decent PvP char.. someone that can hold there own and stick it to Imps on my server ;D So i want to hear from you guys.. tell me what you think. Anyone built chars like these?.. how do you like them?.. they anygood? please constructive commants please.. i don't want any rants about how unbalanced a certain class is or isn't.. i'm not looking for an uber char.. i just want something that is decent in PvP battle that i'll enjoy playing. Either or of these two i know i'll have fun playing.. i just like to hearwhat people think which is the bestfor PvP.

thank you for reading.. and i hope to see some good posts soon

thanks much

Unfortunately I think that most of us are fighting with the same questions, so it's very hard to answer.

We have too many questions:

- Are defensive skills going to be enabled?
- What is Disarm II going to do once it's not a ranged AE KD?
- What further changes will be made to Pistoleer?
- What further changes will be made to BH and CH?

CH 2/2/0/0 currently looks very tempting (I'm doing it...)

Medic 2/0/0/0 using well experimented stim Bs looks pretty tempting too, although others like the idea of going 2/0/3/0 so that you can use well made stim Cs that have med use of 30 or less. Although it seems like the stim Cs experimented down that low actually tend to heal for less than a good Stim B.

Many many Pistoleer users are looking at picking up either the BH pistol line (speed, accuracy, mind bleed, eye shot, torso shot) or the Smuggler Dirty Tricks line (feign death, Last Ditch (nice damage + stun), Low blow (ranged KD)).

Unfortunately Holo said that it will probably take till December to finish balancing the professions, so I think we'll all be tossing and turning while we try to figure out what to do for a long time!

yeah,

it is very hard to figure out when you og the devs changing things on us on a daily bais. I gotta say i do like the BH/Master pistoleer line .. ut i also do like being able to heal my self well.. which the Master Pistoleer/CH/medic line offers me. Bu then again the addition of all the +pistol speed and accuraicy with the BH line and plus all you get buy beging a master pistoleer will make one a force to reckon with.

I also did thin about beging a smuggler/pistoleer to.. kinda like a solo type char. ...plus spice making would be nce too.

oh i'm so confused I know it's not written in stone if i chose one or the other... i can always drop it later. But the time i put in to it would be a waste...i gusse it wouldn' be too bad to re work a Pistoleer/ch/medic from a Pistoleer/BH .. i would just have to rebuy medic and work back up to First Aid II .. and pick up CH.

well i do have abit more to think about it.. i'll talk to folks in game and recheck his post a few more times.. seeif i can get any commants from people who have done this.
