As I am effectively a n00b again.......which shot is better? I am assuming the BH shot is better but I just want to be sure.
Thanks

According to several statements on this forum, charge shot has a higher chance for a knockdown, so actually is the better choice. (I have no BH in my char, so i can't speak of personal experience...)
The bit of movement and the fist in the air are things you can get used to, i would say.

I hardly ever miss either one. Your mileage may vary.

Improved charge shot hits hard for what it is, and I am truly shocked when it lands and doesn't KD.
The animation is indeed goofy though. I'd rather it just not have one.

improved charge hits harder and has a higher KD chance. The animation sucks, but at least the rest of your group knows when it goes off.

Iuse charge shot. I don't like the animation, but it does more damage and seems to KD more often then underhand when it hits.

Can you use Underhand, wait for them to get up, then hit Charge on them? Or are they immune to the second knock down?

I'd like to add to his question......why is there a KD timer on NPC's when players shoot a KD, but when the NPC attempts a KD, he can turn around and do it again to you? It really sux when you are taking on a lot of mid level NPC's...ones tha tyou can easily waste if you could only stay off of your back. Timer for them....we need a timer for us too!

/agree
Seems that underhand works 100% or nearly 100% of the time (Not including the KD timer thing)
