pistol tank?

[greploco]

anyone have experience with pistol tank?

for the liberator - what kind of damage, aiming, rof, and range do you get with 140-150 pistol combat and 108 wepon lore?

[ZoneVortex]

you'll cap aiming with those stats, but damage will be low

you need about 165ish PC to cap damage and 180 to cap ROF

[Rade]

I looked into it a while ago but its pointless. You can use a lib and
get shitty stats on it so its just for shits and giggles.

If you wouldn't need to specialize that extremely to cap a weapon it would still be posible to play a pistol/rifle tank today effectively.


@Rade: You got PM (or you can look at the TS Forum in your Melee thread)

[Kal]

nah a lowtech pistol tank can get pretty nice stats on a lib (can get about 174 pistol combat) and the rare electroshocker is pretty good in combonatio with it AND get a nice fast runspeed and nice resists, though a pistol PE would most prolly do anything a pistol tank does and do it better

[Egeon]

if he uses the rare freezer, why not use Paw of Bear / other rare Melee stuff? ;)

[Kal]

cause that would ruin the whole point of being a pistol tank :p

you would only really do it to be different anyway

Thats what Im saying, theres no point to make a pistol tank other
than as a joke really.

**edit: rifle/melee works tho. pain easer and pretty high level
melee weapon, you can snipe a little and do ranged damage and
be pretty mean up close.

[greploco]

can get about 174 pistol combat

not even close, you have to dump a ton into agility so you can move fast. with bonuses at 90 agility you can get 147 pc, with SA you can add some more.

[Kal]

you dont need anywhere near that agility

you can get away with about 60 you just gotta lose a little resists to overspec ath

you can easily get 175 pistol combat
edit : you need to take a redflash for the setup im talking about

[whifix]

Distance Weapon 3 + Exp. Balistic 3 + SF + Pistol Combat eye 3 + Pistol combat boost 1 can = 175 P-C. Toss in some Redflash and Beast for AGL and alot of points in ATL in con and you have a preaty good Pistol tank.

[greploco]

ya gotta drug to use libby then, having to drug constantly sux. I don't have much tolerence for it.

[Kal]

whats wrong with redflash tho, lasts as long as long buffs and dont normally give flash

[whifix]

If you dont like drugs swap the move-on for a Balance Advancer 3.

Move-on :confused: o_O

[Zeekal]

pistol tanks are cool ... i made one on another server libby/lowtech melee.

bonus :)

the melee is for shits n giggles. the libby with capped dex and all int on weaponlore plus 3 dex chips n one weaponlore chip (SF & targeting cpu) gives 110 wpl.


aiming is capped.

most dex on pc i got 181 points in it. with 20 agility plus a shitload from imps. done :)

battle ownage against any monkerys

[Lucjan]

On my Libby tank:

Aim: 267%
Damage: 178%
RoF: 307 or 312/min

These stats arent bad, he is still fast and has good resists, but a PE is still better at that job. I couldnt win any duel with any PE on the same skill level. Actually it was not a problem of the gun, but a pure defense problem, the Lib tank is just too weak compared to a well PE setup.

But it's fun :)

you'd have nearly any agility and would have to spec alot of con points to be able to run at a decent speed.
