Thread: TANKS: About torso shot...
Torso Shot is pretty useless in most situations. Between Critical Shot and Headshot, using Torso Shot is just a waste of time because the damage it does plus the ticks are less then the damage of the 2 main damage shots.
Now, if you are a MBH / MP then it is useful for a secondary damage shot. But the bleed is pretty useless. It really doesn't make a dent in anything and most PvE targets will regenerate the health they lose from the tick.
PvP is also pointless as it is a Action Cost sink and little to no return in comparision to what else you can do (As most people are Rifleman).
With all that said, it is fine as is. Bounty Hunters are not Level 5 power. Between Critical Shot and Torso Shot we have enough to justufy the Level 4 power. Torso Shot is about as effective as Leg Shot and Torso hasa bleed. So I don't see a need for a change.

I think it should eb around 100+ in pvp 400 plus in PvE
30-100 damage very 10 seconds or whatever just plain sucks.

Being a MBH/Master Commando .....
Just wonder about your template. Where do you put the other Skill points? As is, you have no recovery, are you dabbling that?
I also have pistoleer 0003 actually, as I imagine many do. That gives me blind recovery, but I cannot say I use it much. Do people actually use recoveries other than KD recovery? I cannot imagine people would dabble just for that, but I may be wrong. I have yet to determine how effective stun/dizzy/blind is in pvp, as I have not pvp'ed with this character a whole lot recently. And I have also read reports that these states are currently underpowered and the devs plan to take them up a few notches.
