I have been playing smuggler pistoller since the curb came out. I love smuggler and was close to going bh/pistolleer for critical shot, but i couldnt give up all the mezzing moves that smuggler had along with the rp aspects fo smuggler.


Well two nights ago I figured out a trick where you can actually outdamage a bh/pistoleer template in raw shoot em up damage. Quickdraw is the best damage dealer in pistolleer and reckless shot is the best smuggler damage dealer (outside last ditch that has limited uses, i love last ditch but it is not a general attack it is special purpose)


What I figured out was that reckless shot and quickdraw are on separate cooldown timers, so you can alternate them as one is cooling down use the other one and you can do allot more damage. My bh friends scatter pistol actually had better stats than my renegade but he only got me to half way down on health by the time I incapped him.


I would hit quickdraw, reckelss, quickdraw, reckless, quickdraw, quickdraw, reckless, quickdraw.


Since i have been alternating between the 2 I have been doing much more damage than I did with reckless shot alone.


Keep in mind that I generally use disarming shot and a number of other moves, I dont just spam the biggest damage dealer, but this was a study in dealing damage. You can actually outdamage a bh/pistoleer spamming critical shot if you use this technique... I was amazed at how much more damage I could deal.

Ah, but why would a BH/Pistoleer spam Critical Shot if he can alternate between two of his shots too?

I actually have ended up alternating between /bodyshot, /criticalshot, and /reckless, as alternating between two of them still leaves you waiting for a tiny bit of cooldown.

Template is 0400 BH/Master Smuggler/Master pistols.
