Well this special is probably the most useless move a bounty hunter has and i had some ideas to make it useful. I dont think any bh currently would have this abilty set in their main tool bar.

1. Make spray shot have a small duration(5-10 secs)snare effect similar to carbineers suppression fire that will negate burst run, force run, and terrain negotiation.

2 Make spray shot have a5 second rootingabilitywith a 30 second cooldown timer.

3. Make Spray shot have an extremely high damage output (atleast twice the damageof critical shot) 5 second warm up timer with a 60 to 300 second cool down timer, uses alot of SAC(7 x SAC weopon cost).

4. Make Spray Shot have a (10 to 40 percent) reduce armor effect that lasts for 5 seconds with a 20 second cooldown timer.

Some ideas, post your opinion on which one you like or dont like or if your have some better suggustions other than ones i came up with.

I haven't done any testing yet... but I do have this in my toolbar as my AoE attack. I also have pistols 0004, so I'll test it against fanshot tomorrow when I'm on.

The changes you proposed are interesting though... but I have to be serious here, the primary focus of any of the moves you mentioned are all anti-jedi. I don't PvP, but the few jedi I've fought in friendly duels haven't lasted long against me as it stands, I just don't see a need to provide any more power to it in that reguard.

Actually they are not that bad of Ideas and only one is really geared towards Jedi.

Maybe an AoE Root, which would make it very useful in PvP or an AoE Armor Reduction, both with a long cooldown time.

Ahh, I like that idea. A low damage AoE root with a mid length cooldown would be a great replacement.

Since SOE does classify BH as a 'tank' profession, this would be a great idea. We tank via our mitigation and moves (such as KD). A move that gathers agro and roots it (tanking and mitigating by move rather than stat number) would be a GREAT addition.

I dont think any change to spray shot should be an "i win" button nor do i like it to be an exact copy of a special move that is used by other ranged professions either. I hunt NPC and Jedi alike so im thinking of a usefulness along those grounds.

Spray shot isnt useful in its current form against an NPC or Jedi. All it will do is aggroe other attackabletargets around the mark. Just throwing something out there and i like what i read so far from the replies.

Actually... what I'd like to see is a breakup of our mezzes more than anything. Concussion shot currently does double duty as a dizzy and stun, I'd like to see them broken up into seperate moves, for a more tactical battle.

I see many times where I'd like to have a better chance at hitting a stun than a dizzy, and (it might just be my experience) a second concussion tends to be ignored, so if 1 sticks, it's a bit of a wait till you get a second try at the one you really wanted.

spray shot rocks in group pvp, it has its niche. while not exactly complimenting the bounty hunter role, it does give the profession a little more versatility. leave it be.

i have used it in group PVE and usually just gets you killed. Group PVP i have never used it to be honest, getting all those players in a narrow angle is difficult. Just ask a carbineer with full auto area. Its a limited use special that really doesnt help the bounty hunter in NPC or Player missions.

Speak for yourself,

Imp Spray Shot and Imp Full Area Auto(Carbineer) are great for group PvP and to alternate while kiting dumb melee mobs en masse. They do identical damage so that's 1.2-1.3k worthofdamage to everything in front of me or the two moves for 2600 to everyone. AoE groups will love you with these two attacks.

If you want to do something for BH make confusion shot stick once in awhile and at least double torso shots bleed.
