it's the most powerful pistol attack in the game.


x6 damage, AND if combine it with low blow, that's another x2.5 on top of that.



no one wants to be on the end of a low blow+panic shot+last ditch

Does the "extra damage while knocked down" (is it 2.5x ?) apply to ALL attacks from all professions?


I ask, because as a rifleman also, I would actually like to use Low Blow + Panic Shot, then hot-key to a powerful rifle and spam Strafe Shot2. If this works, I get the following benefits:
-- My best rifle with no power-ups is 544, much better than any pistol I own
-- As a master, I can fire Strafe Shot 2, which I believe is 5x damage
-- The 5x SS2 modifier is less than the 6x for Last Ditch, but as master rifle, I can fire itevery 1 to 2 seconds.

I haven't tried this yet, but should it work?? In other words, is there any reason the effects from LB + PS shouldnt carry over if I equip my rifle?

Low blow / panic shot / Last Ditch = Ouch! Most powerful pistol combo in the game.


Read the faq.

But it's slow, and hits a random pool. I prefer lowblow,panic,bodyshot 2 or 3, twice. That hits the health pool exclusively. Then PMD1 or 2, BS2 again. Generally fight == over for most of the stuff I hunt. Some Imps too!

My new attack is "Low blow, panic shot, *Switch to flamethrower*, Flamesingle 1", then watch the high damage numbers....

Right now i'm master marksman and novice pistoleer and i'm about to hit dirty fighting 4. Once i get last ditch, should i just spam that instead of bodyshot2 or is the delay on the skill too severe for that to be effective?


once i finish up the underworld tree i'm going to start working on commando and thus be using my launcher pistol with a speed of 2.7. Currently, for the smuggler tree, i'm using a scout pistol with a speed of 1.7.


Thanks

Stick with Bodyshot if you're looking for something to spam...


LD is random HAM and the delay is HUGE without +speed mods from Pistoleer Stances...even with a 1.7 spd pistol...


In your situation, I'd open with a Low Blow, LD combo...then spam Bodyshot 2...
