Just got enough experience to train in one of the 3 pistol XP trees and was wondering which one I should go for first?


Any help is appreciated, thanks.

i think most go for export tactics first for BS3. but i think would be ok going with stances too. i vote to leave the pistol marksmanship tree until last.

In my opinion your best bet is to take the Stances and Grips tree .. for Damage Over Time I believe that doubleshot and fanshot are far superior to bodyshot3. After opening with healthshot1 & 2 my main punch comes from fanshot .. prior to that it was doubleshot.


I have also heard many reports saying that bodyshot3 doesn't even out-damage bodyshot2 .. I think that's one of the issues that our Correspondant has raised with the devs.


PvP may be a different matter as I don't do much.


Hope this helps.

do marksmanship it gives bonuses and stances and grips skill mods dont even work right now, and bodyshot3 blows. the bonuses are the only thing that will help at this time well and the special abilities but thats combat xp so that doesnt matter.

Does this mean that HS1 and HS2 are two different DOTs and both can be stacked onto a mob for separate damage? I didn't realize this!

Hey all -


I was a master pistoleer way back when (maybe 10 months ago) and am going back to it. I was just wondering where the certs are for the geo sonic blaster and DE-10?


Thanks!

Are you sure? I was under the impression that Both Healthshot 1 and 2 stack.

"Players can only stack one dot of each type on each ham pool" as of publish 7, it was in the patch notes but I couldn't find themfor adirect quote.Unfortunately they didn't apply this to poisons (if they did the galaxy would be a much better place) and they also failed to apply it to flames, so a master commando could stack 4 flame dots if wanted to.


This particular fix in publish 7 was part of the preliminary work to the combat balance y'know, 2 poisons per stat, two diseases per stat, 4 flames to your health or one bleed to each stat. Nice one devs, balance has been restored. bastards
