I think I almost have my wookiee character built just like I want. I am CH 2/2/0/2 right now. I want to be 3/3/0/3 so I can call a grand wrix and greater sludge panther at the same time. I figure that would be the best CL 45 combo available (let me know if there's a better one).

I'm also a Novice BH with LLC4 - I'm never giving that up, lol.

I'm also a Novice Rifleman, Novice Pistoleer and Novice Carbineer. I use my rifles a lot and my carbines some. Don't use pistols much, when I do, it's always the Scatter.

And finally, I'm a Novice Medic with First Aid 1 & 2 and Diagnostic 1. I love those fast heals in the wilderness and I don't want to give that up, either.

So my thought is this - give up Novice Pistoleer and get the 9 skill points I need to max out at 250 and have CM 3/3/0/3. Is it worth giving up Novice Pistoleer to do this?

If you don't use a DX2 or health shot 2, then I say it's probably worth it, considering your character.

I honestly like one big pet over 2 smaller ones but I'd say drop the pistol since there's really no reason to be novice rifleman/novice carabineer/novice pistoleer. IMO it's better to specialize more than be a mediocre jack-of-all trades. Learning 2 weapons should take you far, as I understand it you have 4 that you've trained in. Since the skillsdon't "stack" (can't use a carbine attack with a pistol) they're wasted for the most part.

Drop the rifle and get more pistols skill.

Seriously.

Your pets will mostly be hitting health. You'll kill stuff a lot faster if you can also concentrate on hitting health, which means pistols.

At any rate, 2 pets are nice, especially for PvP. A given target can only warning shot one pet at a time.

I would drop Novice Rifleman, but it has T21 cert which gives me the only AR3 gun I have. It comes in handy against some creatures (and NPCs) that have good electricity protection against my LLC4.

Your point about pistol hitting the health bar is a good one, though. That sounds nice. But everytime my LLC does so much more damage than my scatter pistol, I hardly use it.
