Pistoleer Archive

Just got Novice Pistoleer and as its take ages to gain XP I want to make sure I choose wisely for my first set of skills.

Can anyone recommend which to go for first. I'm really looking at what skills will help with hunting and therefore XP to gain new skills.....if you get what I mean.

Cheers

Learn the grips and stances tree first.

Special shots arent any good if you cant land them on your opponent. I say go marksmanship first so that you can gain pistol accuarcy/movement.

I totally disagree, I NEVER had accuracy issues while grouping. Learn Techniques first. More damage = more exp = finishing Pistoleer faster.

stances is definately the most effective tree but that is combat xp so no decision there. of the three pistol xp trees pistol grips is by far the most useless ( only attack you will ever use is body shot 3 and that only becomes better than body shot 2 when you have the speed mods of master gunfighter, hence go up pistol grip tree last). since pistol accuracy is pretty decent (even without the accuracy mods except when you use the dx2) this tree should be second in line. the best tree is pistol techniques,i cant comment about double tap cause i never used it, stopping shot is super powerfull but incredibly slow until you reach master gunfighter so only use it if you have a super fast pistol, fan shot is the jewel in our crown ( it is currently an aoe move which means it attacks everything in front of you in a fan shape, it deals out massive damage with hardly any delay and is the best way to get tons of xp if used correctly. i strongly reccomend getting a pet to tank for you if you want to get xp fast or else you will be limited to low level creatures unless you are in a group.
