Thread: Last Ditch
LocWolf --
Last Ditch has a delay of 4.0, damage modifier of 6.0.
Stop Shot has a delay of 4.0, damage modifier of 4.7. (Last Ditch is always better'n this)
Fan Shot has a delay of 2.4, damage modifier of 4.0. (Generally has a higher DPS than LD)
However,I wouldn't bother withanything other than LD-- at high (+75 or better) speed bonuses, LD overtakes Fan Shot in terms of DPS and it's *always* the highest damage per shot in the game.
If you're higher'n 75 speed bonus, you have to be a BH ... and with LD for general purpose and your Eye Shot for a targeted pool shot, plus your various knockdown moves, you should have a VERY lethal combination there, without worrying about the pistoleer trees too much. If I wanted to spend some points in it, I'd probably pick up some of the bonuses for accuracy, but pass on the speed and special moves ... you've got the two best moves in the game for pistol, plus enough posture-changing and KD moves to make your LD insanely effective.
"No. You need 70-ish speed for Last Ditch to be really useful. "
HA. You said it. Guess I'm going to quote you someplace else. 
The reason stopping shot is better than last ditch is that it takes fewer skill points to obtain, and it gives +20 resist to dizzy. If you have a choice take the pistoleer box over the dirty fighting box.
so would an Expert Bh (bhpistol4) be better off getting up to fan shot+stances 1, and having plenty of skillpoints left over, or getting last ditch and stances 1???
i have unarmed 4 and Bhpistol2 and Novpistoleer, and have enought for stances 1, any advice?, i like using creatures, but will possible drop to go the smuggler route, seems like with the BH specials, fan shot will be a nice addition for an extra 14 skillpoints, instead of 14 for unarmed, 15 for nov brawler, 6for smuggler, and 14 for Dirtyfighting, i may have just answered, my own question, sill need input

The basic calculation is
for yout pistol max damage
503 x 1.5 x 6(damage modifier) = 4572
this varies depending on the armor and defenses of the thing you areattacking, Also weather or not it has been knocked down and if its a player its reduced by 75%.
