Pistoleer Archive

Hi guys, this may not be the best time to ask for advice because of the **edit** nerfs but Im in real need of some advice. My profession points are coming to an end and I have some decesions that need to be made. My character is currenty Pistoleer (3,2,0,3) and BH (0,0,4,0) with Medic 1,0,0,1. My plans were to origionally finish off the pistoleer profession all except for master, but as Ive been reading... Im not so sure this is the wisest move. As I have been working the Pistol Grips tree, I really havent seen any benefit except for the BS3 which I use most all the time. Pistol Marksman tree I havent seen the benefits of the additional stats from one box to the next. Im wondering if maybe time would be better spent on doing smuggler pistol tree. Havent done much research on the specials from that tree so not sure how they compare. I do know that the only modifier that I can actually tell that benefits me is the pistol speed. When Pistol stances is finished my speed stat should be 120ish - 130ish even without Master.

I havent started the Pistol Techniques tree and now that profession points are getting tight, Im wondering if this tree will be worth doing. Disarm shot doesnt seem to do much, how about doubletap, stopping and fanshot? Not sure of the KD properties of any of these so I throw that in the mix as well. So far, the only abilities I am totally sure of is Grips 3 for BS3 and Stances for the +speed.

I want my character to be strong in pvp and already can stand toe to toe with most mobs.(pre supression nerf).

I guess what I am really looking for is the insight of the masters out there that have all the skills and which they would drop if they had the chance to.

Appreciate any insight from you guys and I apologize for the lengthy post!

Personally I'd drop everything but the fourth tree and go 0.0.0.3. There isn't anything worthwhile in the rest of Pistoleer.

I'd recommend putting the rest of your points in medic. Even a 2.0.0.3 medic is pretty darn helpful in battle. Anything more than that is icing on the cake.

master pistoleer isnt worth is anymore, just stick with the bh, keep the pistol special abilities tree for speed, but dont waste ur points on dodge, doesnt work, defenses dont work, go up the accuracy tree, works if ur standing thats about it, moving doesnt work yet either. Infact master pistoleer is a waste of skillpoints.

i think i might go commando they rock!

Thanks for the input guys, but Im not really interested in being helpful in groups, I solo most the time because I dont have the time to sit down, look for a group, get started, invest a few hours. I get on and play when I can. I quit EQ for that very reason, and if I leave SWG, that will be the cause.

Is there an equivlant of BS3 somewhere else? I realize that dodge is worthless, but what about BS3?

Yeah commandos and BH LLC's do rock now, but you cant tell me that will last. It wont. Amyway. appreciate the input so far!

Yeah, they are. If they ever fix the defense bonuses in that category, they will be even better.
