U|Ao100|99%|YAVP Finally won a MSs UV Ao100 but DAMN LAVA FLOOD RUINED MY YAAM
Tormuse:
Very nice YAAAM. ;) (Almost!)
Eagle Eye 5? O_o I would've thought that EE3 was already overkill. (I sometimes wonder why EE can even go up to 5)
And that's pretty funny that your pistol was consistently gibbing the formers! :D Almost makes me want to try it myself. :)

Well, rockets are always useful for corpse disposal, and shotgun plus shells can get you out of a really bad starting position after descending. I would probably not carry that shotgun with the Inquisitor Set complete, but hey, it probably worked for you (or made you feel safer at least).
EE5 is definitely overkill, but then again, if you wanted to stay on the safe side, the better for you.
Anyway, you might have kept the combat pistol for a full White Death (P3B2) modding. This creates a pistol with (3d6) [26/26] stats - enough to kill an unlucky Cyberdemon, that spawned close to you on a level descent, with no chance to even lift a finger. Even the GCB falls short of this beast of a gun.
Congratulations on the win - it's nice to see some good Sharpshooters around here.

EE5 was overkill. I thought it would make me miss less while shooting things I couldn't see, but nope. Didn't even make my Grammaton miss less in full auto. I guess there's a hard cap on accuracy, and distance/sight penalty is factored in afterwards.
It was hilarious fun to just click and splat. Even lost souls "gibbed", but that does nothing except make funny noses. I just wish more of my runs had this kind of luck with drops early on. Combat Pistol is so good I wish there was one in Armory or Deimos Lab.

In fact that's only partly true. There is indeed a cap on to-hit chance, but that's applied after everything else is (weapon accuracy, range, Eagle Eye ...). For pistol builds this means that everything above EE3 would make any difference in extreme cases only (like GCB in full-auto mode, firing at targets at the edge of LOS), and even then the difference would be barely noticeable.
Note that the 50% miss chance against enemies out of LOS is applied after the shot would hit the target - your total hit chance against such targets will never surpass ~49%.
EE3 is definitely not overkill, as it is the requirement for Sharpshooter :).
