Thread: what are the most useful trees?
i'm wondering which tree i should work on first, and if smuggler's dirty fighting tree is worth it.
I have the same question.. I am novice pistoleer and I am close to getting my first 175k (thats too much 
) xp hit.... Im in a toss up between Int Pistol Marksmanship.. And Int pistol tactics..
Point blank single 2 doesnt mean much to me.. But I REALLY want bodyshot3... Is it worth it to work up my aim and speed first? or is the tactics more important?
From my experience, StoppingShot is much more effective then BodyShot3.
BodyShot3 has a 4x damage modifier to your gun's base damage, so in theory it can do up to 900 damage with a 225 max damage pistol (an FWG5 I'm currently using).
On the other hand, I can do up to 1680'ish damage with the same 225 max damage FWG5 using StoppingShot.
From what I've seen, BodyShot3 has a much lower average damage then StoppingShot has. I think the "increased damage" property of StoppingShot significantly effects the average damage of the shot.
Anyways for regular XP'ing I've been using StoppingShot over BodyShot3.
I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but all the pistoleer random HAM pool shots seem to mostly hit the health bar, the action bar the second most, and the mind bar the least.
