Hey all,
I'm looking for some answers from the community regarding your Rogue line pistol specials. Specifically how they work, how reliable, timer, etc?
Low Blow - is this a very reliable ranged KD? What are your experiences with it?
Last Ditch - I understand the damage multiplier is very high. What is the timer on it?
Any info on the other 2 is much appreciated as well. Thanks,
Thrasia

I can't give you exact numbers, but...
Low Blow seems to be a pretty successful thing for me. I'd say it works 50% or the time or more.
Last Ditch has a 6x damage multiplier. I'm not sure exactly of the speed, but it is the slowest pistol special to go along with being the most powerful. However, I'm of the belief that any attack which doesn't target a specific ham pool is sort of pointless when you have attacks which DO target specific ham pools.

Lowblow: Very nice ranged KD. Made more effective if you pick up the Marksmanship line from Pistoleer for the accuracy, otherwise, you'll miss...ALOT.
Lastditch: Damage mulitiplier x6, delay x4. Very effective, but again...misses ALOT without Marksmanship from Pistoleer. You'll also want the speed from Pistoleer Stances line as well to make this worthwhile.
Feigndeath: Halfway useful means of avoiding death. In PvP it's a griefer's dream to come across a feigned Smuggler, as they can do untold amounts of damage to you. In PvE, critters will reacquire aggro from extreme distances, around corners, and over terrain when you stand up, which makes FD pretty much pointless.
Panicshot: USELESS. Ranged warcry. It breaks almost as quickly as it is applied. Almost never used anymore...

Oh, Dreven, regarding the Feign Death; they will even reaggro from the bottom of a bunker many stories below ground!

However to redeem a little bit of Feign Deaths reputation, yes reaggro will occur from ridiculous distances and such, however I use it when i'm in the middle of a fight and I seriously need to regen my stats. Works likea charm, I will FD go smoke a cigarette and voila when I come back all my stat bars are regened and I can fight again. Another useful aspect of feign death is spice downer times. I drop dead once Muon leaves my system and I start puking.

Thanks for all the info everyone.
I should explain that I'm currently a MBH/Carb dabbler. However, I've always like the Smuggler profession and was thinking about picking it up with the BH SP req reduction and going Pistols. Again, Thanks.

With the speed cap from BH pistol line Last Ditch is jaw dropping. I never killed someone so fast simply using Low Blow then spamming Last Ditch. That extra speed BH's get over Master Pistoleers does make a difference.

Thats a great idea Dracovious...I am doing smuggler right now and I am half way through it. I never thought of doing FD to regen your stats, that can be very useful if for some reason you are getting hit harder then usual. Thanks for the info Drac!
