Squad Leader Archive

As far as I can tell, because before, there wasnt pistol xp required and people didnt want to be forced into a pre-set 'template'. That's a subject that pops up enough I dont need to go into it. Mostly it's about what people find is fun, some builds suit them better then others and it's worth it to drop some pistols after they get to master and grind out somthing els.

Come on people help me out here lol

Master Squad Leader/Master Pistoleer

I was master pistoleer before I too converted to carbines. It all depends on what you want. I saw a pic that just screamed Talley. Plus, I had to wear the clone trooper armor, again, it fit the character. And once I got /chargeshot, it was even more of a match made in heaven on how i saw SL.

there are a couple reasons why many MSL's are not MPistoleers

here's my first example. (i thought this was going to be stickied)

second, carbines, when talking about elite ranged profs, are more balanced between offense and defense than the others. pistols have higher defs; rifles have higher offense.

andwhen making a build of MSL / MCarb there is enough left over to get several boxes of pistols, including Stopping Shot and Disarming Shot. the same can be said of the carbine tree, but like mentioned above, carbines are more balanced and give better mods when combined with pistol than combining Master Pistoleer with some Carbineer.

but IMO, the most balanced build you can get would be MSL / MBH / elite ranged (just dont forget to find a way to get Dizzy Recovery. you cant use Form Up if you yourself are dizzy)

So as you can see Tyser, even with these few posts, it varies widely why people chose a different weapon than pistol. I originally was going to go rifleman since I could plink away at an enemy from 64 yards and issue commands while the others are more up close and personal. I still may go rifleman, but I haven't decided if I will or not.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually did add this to the new FAQ. It just ain't posted yet - mostly because real life has been a harsh mistress the last couple of weeks. I'm on it.
