Hey all. First time posting on these boards, but i've been a smuggler for a little over a month. I love the class, even though it is lacking a bit. Anyway, let's cut to the chase.
I dunno if I'm just bored, or what, but i think my template is a little lacking. Here's my current setup, i'm optimized for pistol use and speed.
Master Smuggler
0/0/4/1 pistoleer
0/0/4/0 BH
Novice commando (for the launcher pistol)
Master marksman (prereq)
4/0/0/0 scout (prereq)
4/0/0/0 brawler (prereq)
My current template is capped on most pistols, with +91 pistol speed. That's enough to hit the speed cap in about 99% of the situations (unless i pick up a slow launcher pistol). I kill stuff just fine, im just looking for an alternative. So here's my question(s):
I don't want to drop smuggler, though I've been tempted to. So, I'm looking into the triple master (tkm, master smugg, master pistoleer). I know it's kind of FotM, but it could help relieve my boredom. First, i was looking at the pistol skills, and I lose torso shot and eye shot and i lose a bunch of speed as well as the scatter pistol. This seems like a HUGE hit to my pistol skills, so any of you triple masters out there, do you ever actually use your pistol skills? I know there's good damage type variety, but all the specials in master pistoleer are pretty redundant and without BH speed, last ditch would probably still be too slow.
So, what are your thoughts? Is the triple master the way to go? Should I just stick with what I have? Any other revisions to my template that could be good, or any other alternative templates that I'm missing?
If this is in the faq, i apologize as I might've skipped over it. Thanks for all your help!

Triple master here.
Stuck a +19 pistol speed SEA in my left bicep, and can fire Last Ditch at the speed cap with ease. With a 700 dmg DE-10, we're talking serious damage here.
Speed is not an issue. Neither is damage with LD. The only drawback is that we cant target mind without BH pistols, but hopefully that'll be rectified with the upcoming combat balance in which the mind bar prolly wont be the only one to play such a huge role in PvP.
Additionally, you could use the defenses and meditation of TKMs.

i am also a master smuggler [with the same bh, pistoleer template] looking for another profession to make creds off of. i was thinking bio-eng. but any other responses to the original poster, or myself, would be greatly appreciated. you can make a good bit of creds per day off of using the pistol but it would be nice if there was another alternative, other then doc.
