Thread Title: Template Question... Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer/Commando?

Would the titled template work better than Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer/BH Pistols 1-4? That's whatI currently have and want the main focus to be on Smuggler, but be able to wield a pistol in PvP and PvE like no other. What should I be shooting for template wise?

MSmuggler/MPistol/Commado is a Crowd Controller's Template.

The goal bein to apply your states to as many enemies at one time as possible in PvP. I control the fight. I determine who moves, who doesn't, I CAN Low Blow 20 People at the same time(Imagine if there was an animation for that

) So for Group PvP it is awesome, hoever in a 1v1 Duel, its not as competitive.

If you want to be the really good pistol user, the template you have is probly better.

since i've respec'd thru both.. .i can tell you that master smuggler/bh gets you better total speed/acc bonuses for pistol than smuggler/pistoleer, and a better big-dmg shot (adv crit from BH). Its a shame of this game that a BH is better with a pistol than a pistoleer.

But I have Master Smuggler/Pistoleer and BH Pistols... isn't that what matters?

Try M Smuggler / Master Pistoleer / 2000 CM / 0410 Medic / Novice Commando

Sure, it's complicated, but you will become god of all that is Crowd Control!

i've been MSmuggler/MPistoleer and 4144 Commando and looking to change up things a bit.

if i do what you suggest Gassy, does the launcher pistol for Novice Commando have an AoE effect for specials?

i use a Rocket Launcher for that now. but if i can still do AoE state effects, then i'd like to pick up some healing prowess.

After looking through a bunch of research, I have come to this conclusion:

Plasma Flamethrower: Radius 6: (its AOE)
Corellian Destroyer: Radius 6: (not AOE)
Launcher Pistol: Radius -no stat- (its AOE)

It doesn't make any sense, but the launcher pistol, despite apparently having to radius, -IS- AOE... You can apply states like a god

Keep in mind, I'm looking to be able to whip out a pistol, and bring someone down as quickly as possible in PvP as well as take down a creature in PvE fairly quickly as well.

The template I have now, I tested on an un-buffed Trandoshan who had a full suit of Composite on, and brought him down in about 6 seconds (I knocked him down and finished him off before he could stand up). Does this seem like it would do a decent job "out there"?

Keep in mind I'm not looking for "Crowd Control"... I'm looking to be able to take one guy one on one quickly, and then be able to move to the next... not control them all at once.

I have novice commando in my template as well, and the lagger pistol is mad fun to use with smuggler crowd controls specials. Right now I'm MBH / M Smuggler / novice commando / novice medic. That "radius 6" on the launcher pistol may not sound like much, but it does cover a pretty good area. I like doing an area low blow / knockdown, then switching back to my pistol and doing the cone shot from BH. Repeat low blow as neccessary, or if you need to, concusion the whole group and then switch back to your pistol and concentrate on a single target.

After seeing the power of smuggler specials + launcher pistol, I think I'll be keeping novice commando when / if I do change from BH to carbs.

I was thinking of in the future changing over to M smuggler / M carbs / pistols 0002 / novice commando / novice medic + 2 FS skills. Healing is weak, but it gives several cone shots, launcher pistol, good damage specials, and better range.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.
