As the title suggests, I'm looking to know what you all think are the 3 most important tiers in the Pistoleer tree. As it stands, I want to become a Master Scout and a Master Smuggler. With the Unarmed IV requirement, plus Ranged Weapon Support III (for warning shot), I will not have enough points left over to become a Master Pistoleer.

So I'm trying to find the most important 3 tiers that I can totally master, so I can make the best of the profession, given the situation.

Make that Ranged Weapon Support I, for the threaten shot and aim abilities.

personally i don't think "aim" is useful for a pistoleer... you will attacking at max range usually, when you use aim it won't help much at all since most pistols have low ideal range. So your's aim won't make it better, you will still see -50 to hit. This may change when you get more accuaracy but for me at my time, i don't see any.

All right, but apart from the sanitation droids, bionic limbs, hyper-drive, moisture vaporators, galactic order, abolisment of slavery, star charts, the compact and efficient central government and interplanetary free trade, what has the Empire ever done?"

Even so, the 2 points required for Weapon Support I will not allow me to learn all 4 tiers in the Pistoleer profession.

point taken.... but ask yourself, are the skills i'm getting worth not mastering pistoleer and the skills i get from that? If so then go for aim.



to answer your first question, i'd sooner go with all but pistol tactics. All it gives you is 2 moves at point blank and +to dodge. How often do you dodge? And sooner of later they will fix melee pistol defense2

Actually your missing the main reason why people get tactics up - Bodyshot 3. I will agree with everything else though, besides Bodyshot 3 (which is acquired at tactics tier III), everything else in tactics stinks at this time. Then again though, if you look at stance/grips - the main reason people do that tier is to get stopping shot, which is also available at tier III. Lots of people say avoid marksmanship.. because they can't really tell a difference between the skill modifiers (probably cause half the skill mods in this game are broken).


Hope that helps.
