Pistoleer Archive

Ok, I am almost there to Master Pistoleer, and long-time Master Marksman. Here's the query: I know you can be a Pistoleer by just working up the Marksman tree's Pistol column, but there are major ACCURACY and SPEED perks for being a Master Marksman. Given the lack of XP to spare, is there any real reason to hang on to Master Marksman before I give it up to finish Pistoleering? Has anyone done this with Carbineer or Rifleman?
I am reading posts from the DEVS on how they hope to finally show the Pistoleers some courtesy by issuing some specialization in pistol weapons or abiliies, so you can see why I'd want to stack up all the advantages I can.
Open to any suggestions here...

No idea what will happen with the Combat Balance. As it stands now, unless you can approach the speed cap the extra speed Master Marksman gives you (+5) isn't going to make a huge difference. Its your call though because who knows what might happen with the combat balance.

i would keep pistols 4 and ranged defense 4 and put others into smuggler or medic

Marksman skills are useful because of the Ranged Defense mods.

Master Pistoleer and Marksmen and I still cant hit riflemen (Well I can but its about 1 in 15 shots). But for non riflemen+tka I think its worth it to get both.

I have master pistoleer/bh pistols, with some clothing attachments, I can hardy miss master rifleman
