I figured something simular has been asked before, but I wasnt able to find it searching through post.
My current template includes BH 0040, smuggler 0040, novice pistoleer. Im going to have enough points left to get onemore box in a elite proffession and was figuring do it in pistoleer. If stared at the choices for hours and cant decide which box would offer me the best results. Any advice from more experienced players?

Get the first box on the right side of the pistoleer tree, that will give you /pistolmeleedefense1 or Pistolwhip. Unless of course, you already have a knockdown attack.

I'd say it's a tie between Techniques I and Stances I
Seeing as you're a BH the marksman box wouldn't be very useful, and the dodge isn't really high enough to be worth it if you only get one
So it's basically Techniques (Def vs. Stun +40, Ranged Mitigation 1, Disarming shot) vs Stances (Melee Defense +10, Pistol Speed +6, Pistol Melee Defense 1)
On the whole I'd say you'll find Stances more useful. As your current template already gives you rm1 and a ranged knockdown it comes down to Stun def +40 vs Melee Defense +10 and Speed +6. Imho the melee defense is better than the stun defense.

I mostlyagree with what Dratchey said, but I'd like to add the pmd1 is actually really cool. It works great and it's melee, so It might be more useful in some situations than a ranged one.

Well I just looked at this template and I'm saying pistol stances 1. why you ask? not for pistol whip 1, and not for that 10 melee defence but for the +6 speed mod that caps you for all moves with all pistols up to a speed of 2.7 this includes both the launcher pistol and geonosian sonic blaster (crafted not looted)which are no doubt our slowest pistols and you will fire last ditch with both of these EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
Although, I must point out that when I attempted this build I found it lacking defensively and the slightest tap would incap him and also it is incredibly difficult to hit a defence stack. It does deal crazy damage though and I could travel up to Mokk and Janta lairs and lastditch the totem and be out before the Mokks/Janta did too much damage, gotta love 90% composite and 2.6k buffs, one buff session of three hours could earn me 2mil with some luck on my side.
