**edit** you talking about, behind what I was fighting? The **edit** mob I attacked was BEHIND ME! Fan shot IS supposed to be a SINGLE target shot. The descriptions says HITS A SINGLE TARGET MULTIPLE TIMES. Says nothing about HITTING MULTIPLE TARGETS A SINGLE TIME! I don't use just ONE shot, I use different ones, this was just the one I used to finish off the mob. If they want us to have an AE shot we HAVE one that doesn't freaking work. FIX THAT and you have your great mulitple target shot you want. So why didn't they FIX the shot that was broken instead of BREAKING a shot that was ok.

i suggest you use stopping shot for the last shot.. if ou truely used fan shot for the final blow you should notice no difference.. except maybe a little more damage on average.

ialso if the mob aggro'd behind you then it had nothing to do with Fan shot..

It's not supposed to, thats what multi target pistol shot is, read the description for fan shot.

Some people are just never happy, i sent my pet in and used fanshot on a gurk..all of a sudden 5 gurks went down. Um, i think thats why better then what it was before. I am sorry you are so lame that you dont know how to look to see if there are other creatures behind what you are attacking and that you just run in all gun hoe and start firing. Just set your self up, its not that hard...oh i know the fact that you have to actually think and cant spam one speical over and over makes the game to hard for you whiners.

Anyways on most adv planets the creatures all start attacking when you attack even one of them. On starting planets not as many do, and tonight as i was running in the fields of naboo i just cleared out a mauler mob that was in my way with ease.

Wow you killed 5 gurks in 1 fanshot? Amazing..

That's because armor is broken too.

One SERIOUS problem though. I'm shooting at a creature, and half my shots are hitting the lair...not cool at all

i'll put my vote in for the new fan shot, i like it!

Yeah the problem is you need to be REALLY careful... it's nice when you are being chased by a bunch of Pirates... but I mean, it's situational now. And hard to use really effectivly normally... thats why I am still mxied about this.

yep, got taken down tonight because of it. Aimed for a thug and popped a vynock lair 30mbehind me.

I really cant understand this change, why the hellhave wethe master skill, multi target pistol shot ?

So now we have 2 specials that do the same thing?

This iswhatHolo passed along to us on September 16 after we kept a protest thread alive for 11 pages. Based on my reading of this, Fan Shot is now working as the Devsplanned (though I have not been able to log in and test this personally). The link to Holo's post is included below.

Fanshot vs. Stopping Shot:

Problems:

Fanshot is a 4x damage ability.

StoppingShot is a 5x Damage Ability.

Fanshot is gained after stoppingShot.

Solution:

Fanshot has been changed to be a cone attack. So it does less damage, but will hit multiple targets.

what does fan shot do?

Lots of damage in a cone area of effect. You target one thing and things around it, behind it andin frontof it also get damaged (out to your maximum range).

It's great for PvE versus large groups of beasties. Not so great in PVP, but good if you can use it covertly from the side while a group of enemies isoccupied a larger threat.
