Is it possible to combine Fire abilities and Pistols into a good ranged Dps build?

    They don't have much synergy, but you can still mix them if you want (there are some Muni powers that deal Fire dmg and/or can apply CFlames, but none of them are the pistol attacks themselves). I'm unsure if there's any specific attacks or powers that you want, but here's an example build:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Ranged Damage)
    v3.44:37

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Ego (Primary)
    Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Scourge (Con: 10, Ego: 10, Rec: 10, End: 8)
    Level 6: Daredevil (Ego: 5, End: 5)
    Level 9: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 12: Worldly (Ego: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Ascetic (Con: 5, Ego: 5)
    Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Throw Fire
    Level 1: Burst Shot (Off Your Feet)
    Level 6: Concentration
    Level 8: Night Warrior (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Thermal Reverberation
    Level 14: Incendiary Grenade (Chemical Burn, Scorched Ground)
    Level 17: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 20: Conflagration (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Two-Gun Mojo (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Fire Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 32:
    Level 35:
    Level 38:
    Adv. Points: 26/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Ego: Force of Will (2/2)
    Ego: Insight (3/3)
    Ego: Follow Through (3/3)
    Ego: Sixth Sense (2/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
    Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)

    The last 3 powers can be w/e ya want.

    Incendiary Grenade can be used in general for a bit of background dmg and to put up CFlames for TReverb (it can also debuff for Conflag). TGM is the main single-target attack, and taps of Burst Shot can quickly put up the AP debuff for TGM (Burst Shot can also be used as minor CC w/ its KD adv), while Conflag is the main AoE attack. The build gears mostly for Ego, w/ some End and Con.

    INT/End/Con (w/ and Int focus) could also work as the SS setup here. Also, if Night Warrior's stealth-related abilities don't fit the theme, then you can simply opt to not use them, since the passive is good on its own.
