Best Ranged Blaster Character?

[Ragnaros]

Hi,

I played this game a few years ago and am starting again.

Since you're going ranged and blasters you would probably get best effect out of consular to start with - unless you really want the extra skillpoints from Sentinel.

 

Regarding your party - using another melee character will probably work, unless you need extra skills coming through. Handmaiden (assuming you're a male char) for the melee, and either Bao-Dur or T3 if you need skills (Bao-Dur is probably better since he's a better fighter).

 

HK cannot use melee weapons, he doesn't have the profiency, and cannot get it.

Is it possible to complete the game on hard with a ranged main character and no other NPC

[apploud]

Guardian with marauder (i dont know if they get the extra two hand fighting feats but they get an attack bonus).

 

Guardians get access to higher ranks of weapon feats and get feats more often than other classes (making obtaining full close range, blaster and precise shot easier)

As for weapons:

 

If your going for pistols:

Two micro-pulse blasters

 

If your going for rifles:

Zersium Rifle for its upgrade options

 

pure rylith power cells if your using rapid shot

power pulsators if your using sniper shot

 

Mandalorian Chambers are best

 

Targeting or Accuracy Scopes (Depending how high your "to-hit" ratio is)

 

 

I personally like to use the Sonic Disruptor with an Accuracy Scope Mark IV (If I can find one, cant make'em)

[jamestl2]

Some Good Equipment to have would be:

 

Multispectral Target Assessor (just Target Assessor if you can't afford all the required feats)

Advanced Combat Implant

Improved Automation Gloves (For +5 DEX bonus), these are the best gloves in the entire game, regardless of class

 

For your party, it really is just personal preference

But wouldn't that just make it fun?

 

But really, if you're going to find strange and absurb ways to finish a game (not saying that is, but I can see the road this might be leading down) it's probably time to move onto another game. *SHOCK*

I personally prefer the Mandolorian disntigrators with pinpint scopes mandolorian chambers and ryth cell (i think that's the one that gives masive criticals. Along wiht these guns I use sniper shot and sometimes rapid fire.

 

 

If your going as an assasin then you should start in it's preliminary proffesion of sentinel. You will git the skills requied to succesfully sneek, plant traps, and sabotage the enemy.

 

one benifit of being a gardian-assasin, as i found out in k1, sneek attack damage is added to force jump dammage.

Its a tie between Madalore and HK-47 I think. They're my ranged fighters in my group and both do a good job at it.

If you're referring to saying HK cannot use melee weapons - then it's not a choice, you physically cannot give him melee weapons (without a mod). Trust me - I LOVE the idea of HK wielding a big double sword The only better thought is T3 wielding two swords

Unfortunately the game doesn't allow either to be given them...I suppose you can just give them NO weapons and they may punch them or something...

Droids set on 'ranged' script will default to attacking enemies with their bare hands (Or in T3's case bare feet), but you can neither give them melee weapons or melee feats-which would seem a major drawback to an assasin droid......
