Thread: Pistoleer or Rifleman with Smuggler?

I've been Master Smuggler/Master Rifleman/Master Marksman since a few weeks after the CU. However I'm wondering if I should change to Pistoleer instead of Rifleman. So I'm wondering if there are any advantages.


I have built up a nice collection of pistols and rifles in my time, and all my rifles appear to be much better than the pistols. Hence why I have stuck with rifleman.


So your opinions please, gents (and ladies if the case may be)

Why would you say that?


And anyone with an opinion on the question: Pistoleer or Rifleman?

so I tested MSmuggler with MPistoleer, never tried Rifles, think its nice, but not my style, anyway, Carbineer really rocks in combat ^^ I took the stopping shot from Pistoleer, and together with CC shot (now working as intended), and the carbs chargeshot, I'm hell of a group controler, and do ALSO good damage. And the E11 Mark II you get with master carbineer is a realy NICE weapon ^^

I'm Msmuggler/MPistoleer/Commando 0-4-1-0 but rifles and carbines will both work with MS. With MC you would have choice of recon or battle armor, MP/MR it's only recon.
Rifles have best damage, pistols nice CC but everything is in range and carbines is a cross between the 2 (IMO).

I'm looking for something that gives very good damage, but some nice specials that doesn't drain my action too much. Too often I find that I'm stuck using Concussion Shot, then Head Shot and Reckless Shot over and over again. I find my action is drained very quickly.

Personally I use Smuggler/rifles with some pistoleer. Its hard to argue with the range you get. I've got a nice laser rifles doing base 300dps with 101 SAC so I dont get drained too fast. Action is only a problem wen soloing really cos in groups youve got other people dealing damage aswell. If it does get drained I switch to my 273dps FWG5 with 78SAC and I can literally spam headshot, bodyshot, headshot bodyshot all day and my action never gets drained.

So should I go for some Pistoleer instead of Marksman?

Having master marksman is far outweighed by having say pistoleer 0404 which i have. The master marksman box gives +25 accuracy +5 defense and +15 speed but the pistoleer option will give you a tonne more specials, +40 ranged and melee defense and +40accuracy...all general so theyll stack with the rifles.
