One time I used Last Ditch with my DX2 on a acid-prone enemy that I KD...I got like 4200 damage. It was amazing

stopping shot is too slow until master, last ditch from smuggler is much better................

Have to agree, I have been using stopping shot as my main special for a while now. Just got BS 3 last night, and it doesntdo any more damage then BS 2. Truely sad that a Health only special of the same skill level, does less damage to that pool then a multi pool special.

Stopping shot has no fancy effects like kd, blind or incap. Just alot of damage to a random pool. Which is almost never mind.

I've very recently got Stopping Shot added to my skillset, and have found it very useful as part of my 'combat opener', I "aim" "stopping shot" and then "healthshot2" from 64m with my Republic, on the occasions where both SS and HS2 hit in this instance I *know* I've won half the battle already, unfortunately it's dreadful speed delay makes it all but worthless in other occasions except maybe as a form of "Last Ditch".
As for the incap strangeness I've seen other similar things happen to non-Pistoleer friends in lag situations, where one gets a "You have incapacitated xxx" message, yet the target still has 1/2 to a 1/3 of their HAM bars, we've so far either put it down to a lag bug or VERY last minute spice buffing stopping the incap from talking place fully.

i finally made it to stopping shot and every where i see, i see "It doesnt incap or kill them instantly at all. Well i was pvping some imps that came into anchorhead. I got a guy running for the hills and kept using stopping shot. I was really far away so it didnt hit hardly at all. When i did hit it said i incapped the person i walked up to them and they had half bar of health, almost all action and about 25% mind. So in this case i consider this stopping shot i had pulled to be a incap situiation. Post comments please, i hope im not going insane

Hi,
I am Master BH and was wondering if i dipped into the Pistoleer Profession, if the Stopping Shot is worth the points. I know what the description is in game, but what does it actually do ?
Thanks for any insight you can give me in my hour of need.

All it is is a high damage, low speed random HAM attack. It doesn't do any sort of state effect or "stopping". The damage modifier to it 5x as compared to fanshots 4x. Not sure about the exact speed modifier but with a 2.4 DX2 pistol I can shoot it every 2 seconds. I don't believe that you can hit the 1-sec cap unless you have both BH and Pistoleer speed.
Hope this helps.
