Dont flame am a pure dabbler .. I dont intend to go pvp as I play Anarchy on line for this and as far as I understand PVP in mmorpg its like "scissor, paper, rock" you can kill easily that prof but you ll never kill that one and same for beeing killed (for those who knows AO that doesnt bother me as I am a fixer and never get killed thanks to "gridding")
Now for PVE here I have
BH 0040
Pistol 0040
CH 4311
Medic 4200
this set might sound weird but it kinda rocks in pve .. Use pet to tank I shoot along, I can heal just perfect..
I still have few ponts left thakns to new BH rule, I wonder if I should go for pistol markmanship or get smuggler 0040

Like you I like to PvE more than PvP and the ability to have a tank is nice with the CH. Unfortunately I don't know that much about that prof anymore since it was nerfed quite some time ago. But I figured out that smuggler is not possible in this template. You will have 14 points left over and there are many things you could do with that many points within your current template. Perhaps you could use it in more CH, not sure because like I said I really am ignorant on the subject of CH's.If you want speed and accuracy then you could get the entire pistol marksmanship line and get your speed to 85 and your accuracy to 145. Or...you could get Bounty carbine specialization line and get confusion shot and fire knockdown. Not sure the status of those special though. Or light lightning cannon line is available for electrical damage and lightning cone one and single one and two. Really there are lots of possibilities and hopefully someone else knows if some of the other specials are working or whether or not it is more worthwhile to expand in CH. Good luck to you.

Current advice for a soley PvE template is to drop anything having to do with pistols. The high End PvE targets have medium or heavy armor with resists to all of our damage types. That combined with high end NPC's and Creature's ridiculous HAM and our low damage makes the pistol worthless at those levels. Go be a rifleman or swordsman if you are a serious big game hunter.
Hopefully this will change in the combat balance (next year sometime) and the rest of our group will stop laughing at us during hunts.

Agreed. From a pve only propsective don't bother with pistols. Riflemen swordsmen are best at this. Try a ch/Riflemen combo. That will probably be something more towards what your looking for. Now not saying pistoleers can't do PVE. Just it's alot easier to bring down a creature doing 2-3k damage to mind then it is to do 1-2k to health and action per shot.

pistoleer is very useful in a pve template in my opinion to help you supplement your damage types and raise your defense. yea its not as strong as rifle or carbines but its got its still useful.
i really only pve right now and im loving my master pistoleer, master swordsman, rogue line of smuggler, 0200 tka, and novice medic. i do a little pvp here and there and also some dueling, tho as a wookie im already at a huge disadvantage from the get go in those parts of the game.

First of all I Iove being master pistoleer and I only do PvE. Everyone knows that high end mobs are difficult for pistoleers as a main attacking weapon but there are ways around this. Tactics and patience. The trick is how to build around master pistoleer.For some people it would be to take up swordsman or tkm. Personally I have all the pistoleer boxes and I go solo 90% of the time. For example, last night I went to the Death Watch Bunker. Well, knowing that those battle droids are 62k HAM and have medium armor I should have been dead right away right? By being patient and using torso shot and feign death I was able to destroy four of them without any serious trouble. Just took some time. That might not be everyones ideal of battle but it works. I like using tactics instead of just blasting your way through everything. Though blasting can be fun as well. These are just my thoughts on my experiences so far.

For PvE go Master Brawler/Master Swordsman/ Master Fencer and put the rest of your points in TKA. You can kill just about anything in the game.
Pistoleer is horriable in higher end PvE due to lack of AP2 or AP3.
