I spent the last week grinding from Pistols IV to Master Pistoleer.
I found the FAQ to be quite helpful in a general sense, but also found it have some glaringly outdated information.
For instance I did not know until I checked out Felton Kel's Weaponsmith website that the DX2 had been fixed. I spent most of my grind using a sweet 1.9 DL-44 (that I damage sliced up to 250) against heat resistant MOBs and a FWG against non-heat resistant MOBs. I have now also added a DX2 to my arsenal. (I have also started a personal quest for the perfect pistols. A mythical DL-44 that I have in my mind and a DE-10 to call my very own)
However, I still do not feel that I completely know which specials are working and wich are not. I do not know which are really broken and which are kinda broken.
Just to let you know my usual attack pattern is a MeleeDefense1, Fan Shot, Fan Shot, HealtShot 2, HealthShot 1, spam fanshot.
Are these the only working specials in our skill?
Can we please do something about having a freshly updated FAQ (the recent one is almost a year old) that compiles all current information at the top of the thread rather than having to wade through 4 pages of updates to it over the past year?

Working and usefulPistoleer specials...
Pistol Melee Defense 1
Health Shot 2
Fan Shot
Stopping Shot
If you have marksman, Suppression is quite handy.
Health shot 2 has good damage per shot and also targets a single pool so I always spam that.
As far as combos go, I like to suppress the target, get in and pistol melee defense 1, then a stopping shot while they are KD'd as it does a lot of damage, then I just spam Health Shot 2.
I use Fan Shot when I have to hit a load of mobs at once.

We could update it some, for the most part it still has some useful info...mainly I would like to do an entire revamp of the FAQ after the Combat Upgrade. Ill see what I Can do to update it some for now though.

I would recommend removing lines like "the DX2 is so horribly inaccurate as to almost be broken"
I stayed away form the DX2 for all but my last two boxes based on that information.

Yeah, I would agree with that. The DX2 is one of my favorite weapons, and althoughmy accuracy mod is pretty high, I've never noticed a problem with its accuracy, even while standing.
