Hi guys. So after leaving CO for a while and getting some money in my pocket, I'm considering buying a freeform slot. I have this great idea for a character and I wanted to know what you guys thought. I'm a little rusty, so the more critique the better.

    I like pistols. It's a fun set to play, but I prefer to keep my pistols toon at range rather than a close combat shooter. If you are going to buy a FF slot perhaps think about wether you can just sub for a while, or if you have enough you may consider a lifetime sub, because I believe that the cost for 1 FF slot is way over priced. Either way, if you don't have to take Targeting Computer then don't. Quarry is the gold standard for a pistols toon, so the following build is synergized around it.

    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)


    This build is all about dodge, and dodge gear support. If you don't mind slightly less DPS you can take the Fair Game advantage for extra healing, but you may find that the Rush of Battle specialization is more than enough and you can rank your Quarry to 3.

    Also someone pointed out that the Mini-Gun from the PA set can be fired with 2 Gun Mojo so that is kinda cool too. But this build is going to be a high DPS and pretty survivable toon. So, have fun. :biggrin:

    Pharmaco's build is pretty solid. It looks like the OPs plan for Dragon Kick was to get close to proc the Avoid buff but it isnt very worthwhile.

    I would suggest taking Thunder Kicks instead of Dragon Kick and Evasive Maneuvers instead both ranked up for an extra 42% dodge on top of 18% from Quarry. And use the Adv on Two Gun Mojo since ur close up anyways plus Demolish taps for debuff.
