Smuggler Archive

i've taken the road of master Smuggler, master Pistoleer, and Carbineer 4040.

i think Carbineer adds a bit of umph to the nearly redundant Smuggler/Pistoleer Crowd Controller template. the 1st and 3rd lines of Carbineer seem to be the most beneficial to me.

Thanks for the input. I tried Master Smuggler (of course) and Master Rifleman with X4XX Cabineer. I wasn't too excited about the rifleman, nice dmg, but too many restrictions. I think I will try your temp out. Thanks again.

hehe carbines are a bit more subtle than rocket launchers.

that commando stuff sounds tempting for speed though...

How did you get those numbers? I checked the numbers ingame against the numbers on the character builder from Bloodfin; and I didn't get the same results as you say. The results I got were General Ranged Accuracy: 195, General Ranged Speed: 55, Pistol Accuracy: 55, Pistol Speed: 45, Melee Defense: 185, and Ranged Defense: 160. Now, if you are adding the General Ranged mods and the Pistol Mods, I can see a result of Pistol Accuracy Modded: 235 and Pistol Speed Modded: 100; but where did you get the extra 55 points for Melee Defense and the extra 50 points for Ranged Defense with only 18 Skill Points left over? Is Pistol Defense: 50 added into Melee Defense and Ranged Defense? I am not flaming, just trying to understand the changes so I can fix my template.

my template is master smuggler - master pistol - master marksman - commando x2xx and combat prowness (FS) x2xx (ranged speed).

offense rates : speed 124 (pistol) and 96 (rifle and carbine) - accuracy 250 pistol, rifle and carbine

defense rates : melee 197 - ranged 213

advantages : you can use all the smuggler shots and pistol shots with pistols AND carbines AND rifles

you can root with concussion shot at 64 meters

you can last ditch with an advanced laser rifle..........

in fact it's quite the best on my own, because smugglers increase pistol abilities, so you must have pistoleer, and not carbineer or rifleman. and taking master marksman give you the possibility to use with efficiency rifles and carbines when you need more power or more distance. and you're lvl 80 with this template.

it's much more powerful than MBH-MS

if you don't have fs skills, just take commando x3xx. full template 250 skills points with MS-Mpistol- Mmarksman

try it, you will adopt it

pistol and smuggler share marksman pistol tree...

smuggler and commando share unarmed tree...

commando and pistol share the ranged support tree of marksman...

so you optimize the template

and then you have enough skill points to masterize Marsman which is not an elite profession, but gives nice bonus in general ranged speed and mostly in general ranged accuracy.

if i do well, after master smugg, mpistol and master marks you still have 18 skill points
