Pistoleer Archive

Hi i jsut got the game from mail today, but ive been readin the boards and i think i wanna be a pistoler/tka. i understand both classes give good defense and pistols make good range and tka make good melee. but i have a few questions.

if i going with this build. would i shot the enemy then when it comes close, drop the gun and bash his face in with tka skills. or would i just take the tka skills as defense bonus and try to stay out of range and use my pistol for combat only?

i also understand that smuggler have good buffs that works well with the pistol/tka build. and if i got master pistol/master tka, i will still ahve some skillpoints left to get smuggler skills but not master. so what would i train in? or would it be smarter to go master pistol/master smuggler +tka skills but not master.... please give some suggestions in my skill placement. bounty hunter? healing? do i need those

what other essential skills do i need for this template to survive and be good?

and lastly and most importantly, what is the best race for this pistol/tka/smug template.(because i wanna get started, but i dun wanna waste time on the wrong race and start over)im sure there are ppl that have that build since it seems pretty poplular on these boards espeicaly pistol and tka.

oh forgot, last question promise, what starting city?

THANKS ALL IN ADVANCE for time and feedbacks

In my opinion I would master both pistoleer and TKA, and get a few skills in the smuggler line. I would also train explore up to 3 in scout( everyone needs this skill ), so you can run faster over hilly areas. I had someone in my group going to tusken fort ( about a 6km run ) that didnt have explore 3 and it took 5 times the amount of time for him to get there.

TKA wins in PvP if they can get in melee range for about 5 seconds. Once you get in melee range you can pretty much stay there with unarmed knockdown2. The problem is getting in melee range, It will be very hard to do with just TKA.

Basicly what in my opinion makes pistoleer/TKA so grand is the ability tohinder your opponent. With pistoleer and the Dirty Fighting line in smuggler, you have two pistol attacks that can "root" an opponent. Suppression fire will force them to a lower stance, If they are standing they will go kneeling and if they are kneeling they will go prone. Low blow ( from smuggler ) will knock them down on their back. Both of these attacks give you time to close the range to melee distance with burst run.

Get in melee distance and chain knockdown2's and win. It will likely only take one to kill them though at master TKA.
