I really like pistols but i don't really have the skill points to get the bounty hunter or smuggler pistol trees. IS master pistoleer (or 4/4/4/1) really that useless? And i keep hearing different things about the specials... is Body Shot 3 broken? How bout melee defense 2? Broken or not? Disarming shot when used in PvP? Any info would be appreciated.

From my Experiences as a master Pistoleer. Body Shot 3 is Less DPS then Body Shot 2. Disarming Shot Does nothing. Pistol Melee Defense 2 Does nothing. None of the Master Specials work.

Well, disarming shot will hurt the condition on other peoples weapons. Kinda griefing if you do it to be a **edit**.

As a master gunny and only a master gunny as far as combat skill points goes, I love BS3 after using health shot 2. It works great for me. BS3 in pve will do 1200-2200 dmg for me to the health pool every second after a bleed. Disarming shot has never done anything for me at all (1 or 2) and if it has I would have never known if it damaged someones weapon in pvp. Peeps don't send me tells stating that they fought me and their guns condition dropped. Fan shot is great for me, as a master I can spam it so fast on peeps that my action (even fully buffed for all three action pools over 2500) can go down to nothing in ten seconds because of it. So using a slower gun with high damage and/or higher accuracy will enable me to get in a lot of shots on a defense stacking rifleman in pvp. Sinse we don't have any accuracy as pure pistoleers we can't hit defense stackers for jack so spamming fan shot makes our chances higher by getting in a lot more shots before they take out our mind. Just use a powerful gun so that if you do land a hit it will take out a pool hopefully and the guns range mods better be quite high to take out a defense stacker.Multi shot is buggy but when used near a structure such as a faction mission base you can do 360 degree damage and it hits pretty hard too when it cooperates. But it is so buggy I never use it anymoreand hitting all of the kreetles behind me or dewbacks (whatever spawned at my mission) really sucks when I am trying to kill stormies or pvp'ers.


So does disarming shot do anything? If so which one? I have given up on those two attacks months ago as they have never worked right for me. BS3 for most peeps is horrible from what I have read but it works great for me. PMD2 is just a pistol whip with no kd but it hits twice as hard? So you do the pistol whip animation only to not knock anything down......it just punks someone.....hmmm.......any info?
