I am now master pistoleer/smuggler and tk 2/1/1/3 (mastering it with no other profs. not even medic :S ) but I should have alot of stacked(until nerfed) defense vs. mods and I have many choises in what I want to do in pve or pvp....try this TKM/master pistoleer/rogue (dirty fighting 4 in smuggler) you get low blow(ranged knockdown) panic shot(ranged group warcry) feighn death(also in pvp if you feighn death you can get incapted but no DB....so I have heard,haven't had the balls to try it) anddddddd........LAST DITCH ,I have done exactly 4357 damage with it with a plain 33% damage sliced scout blaster lol..enjoy

get TKM and Master Commando,not to good range,but up close its hard to be beaten. And also get novice medic with first aid 1

Just my opinion, but TKM and Master Doc rules. But then again, I am PvE only.

I was trying to decide if I should go with tka/rifleman or tka/pistoleer...both have ranged damage mitigation 3 and some nice specials and defensive abilities with them (more ranged defense with rifle...or more defense to things such as knockdown with pistoleer)

anyone with personal experience in these? I would appreciate any suggestions

Rifleman is actually useful for Ranged PvP. Shoot them when they're 50m away, then smack them around with TKA skills when they run to you. Pistoleer, however, is not good for PvP--AT ALL. I'm about to master pistoleer just cause I came this far anyway, but even using stun, you're only going to do 200 damage to your opponents with Stopping Shot (the most powerful attack), so don't bother.

Im not master pistoleer yet, but fan shot kicked tail in pvp for me. I am also tkm but since they were running away i was fan shotting them .. and took out 2 people that way. Pistols do little damage butI heard with dirty fighting in smuggler, they are pretty darn good. I just wanted the ranged knockdown and delay so I can chase them while try to kite me. Boring working the pistol exp. quenkers on Dant are good and dont deathblow.

"you're only going to do 200 damage to your opponents with Stopping Shot (the most powerful attack), so don't bother."

BS!!!!!!!!!!! dude I just said "last ditch" is the most powerfull. can you get over 4k damage in PVE with stopping shot? no

I can just see a "Wait for the Combat Revamp" and "Wait for the Smuggler Revamp" quote all rolled into one.
"Wait for the Smuggbat Revamp"
Smuggbat, I like that

until very recently i was tkm/master pistol/smuggler df. overall, i really, really disliked pistols for pvp or pve, even with the smuggler skills (which will largely be a waste of time after publish 7 with the warcry/panic shot nerf). maybe im just burnt out on ranged fighting (former mbh) or maybe compared to tkm, pistoleer just sucks. in most situations i find myself wondering why im taking so long shooting away at something when i could just run up on it and beat it down in a matter of seconds. consequently, ive dropped the smuggler pistol line (stopping shot and fanshot are just as handy as last ditch, really, and with the coming panic shot nerf, its just too large a sp investment just for low blow), and i am in the process of trading pistoleer for fencer.

just my two cents
