Thread: Pistoleer Damage
Does one particular line in pistoleer have a greater affect on damage? Is there a line with no damage? I know I won't make Master Pistoleer (not enough credits), so I would like to go up the line that will maximize my damage.
Thanks!
leave the first two branches alone I would say and go up the brnaches that give you speed modifiers and get fan shot.
If you go up the speed line you could even get away with stopping shot, it hits harded than fanshot but recharge is slow. With going up the speed line in pistoleer stopping shot kinda takes a while to fire.
Since you're not making Master Pistoleer, don't bother the Fan Shot line. You'll get better damage per second using Marksman attacks.
Your best use of points would be the speed line, and then the accuracy line. Overall, though, neither are superb investments and you could probably do better investing your skill points in a different profession (Smuggler, BH Pistol, Medic/Doctor/Combat Medic, etc).
Don't dismiss the accuracy line. It's really killer. Especially if they continue to increase the movement penalty/defense bonus.
I particularly think the pistoleer accuracy while moving is a forgetten gem. I've been discovering all sorts of little things like that playing my bh alt as compared to my smuggler/pistoleer.
My smuggler is WAY more accurate in practice than the bounty hunter unless I'm spamming bodyshot2 which seems to never miss no matter what I do.

Yes all the specials add damage, some more than others. I use FWG5, DX2, Republic. I would like to get my hands on the one that does stun damage (good for PVP). I don't know how to spell it starts with a T.
