Please check my pistol build
 

Hiya all!

I've been playing PotC now for a while and loving it. I just respeced my points in pistols and was wondering if anyone could give me a critique please? Right now, i'm at level 11 with it and my priority is to have high damage single aimed shots for leveling. Here is the build that i'm planning on going with.

Reputation level 33 and Pistol Level 11 (current)

Shot 1/5
Take Aim 5/5
Lead Shot 1/5
Venom Shot 0/5
Bane Shot 3/5
Hex Eater 0/5
Silver Shot NA
Steel Shot NA
Sharp Shooter 0/5
Dodge 0/5
Eagle Eye 0/5

Total points available: 10
Total used: 8 ( 2 points saved for future use)

Point distribution starting at level 12

12: save point
13: Save point
14: use five points for 5/5 Eagle Eye
15: Save point
16: Save Point
17: 3 points for 3/5 Silver Shot
18: Save point
19: Save point
20: 3 points for 3/5 Steel Shot
21 - 25 5/5 Sharp Shooter

If I've done the math right I should have this at the end:

Shoot: 1/5
Take Aim: 5/5
Lead Shot: 1/5
Venom Shot: 0/5
Bane Shot: 3/5
Hex Eater Shot: 0/5
Silver Shot: 3/5
Steel Shot: 3/5
Sharpshooter: 5/5
Dodge: 0/5
Eagle Eye: 5/5

Total Points available: 26
Total points used: 26

How does this look to everyone? Thanks in advance for any constructive feedback :)

To me I put 5 in bane, can be used on all things a pistol can be used on.

0 in silver and steel. Maybe 5 in dodge, and likely worth having at least one in hex. Hex can shut down voodoo, even if for a short time.

I personally like 5 in shoot, 5 in take aim, 1 in each other type of shot and the remaining in passive skills (I have each of my characters configured a bit different). Keep in mind...some passive skills serve a dual purpose benefiting other weapons and your points would most likely be better used there.

:smiley_toxic:

For leveling, I'd only put one in a shot, though 5 in Take Aim is good since it comes with the stun which should help as you aim. You could rely on the small poison damage from the shot to allow for a) less ammo runs and b) more ammo in general.

The accuracy boosting passive is a good investment though, and Dodge may have its use (it is the least effective, as it at best works with throwing daggers and grenades--though I don't know if it works with daggers). Nevermind--it has its use, so it's a good shot.

First of all I would max lead shot in case you run out of ammo.

I would add some passive skills until you become high level because then almost every shot hits and you have enough health to not care about dodge.

This all changes if you want to train it for pvp though.
