Whats so critical about it, Ive spent all evening shooting at my alt (trying all my specials) and critical shot is on par with leg shot (carbs) not the improved leg shot just the lowly leg shot. I occasionally, see the +critical+ flash over my other toon, but looking at both combat buffers the damage is the same. Anyway, maybe it is working as intended and i dont understand the specials completely yet,but, I would love to have my pre CU sprayshot back anyday.

The notes say this was fixed in a recent patch. I've been consistently using it and in my experience it seems either worthless or still broken. It amost never scores a +CRITICAL+ and when it does, I see either no increase in damage, or such a tiny increase as to be inconspicuous. Seeing as though it does about 200 points less damage per shot than leg shot, it turns out to be a huge waste of action bar and time to use this shot in my mind.
Anyone else having better experience with it?

well, to be perfectly honest, i have great luck with it, id say 1 out of 3 shots would make it to critical dealing around 300 more damage than usual.... what kind of carbine are you using? i have been using a VERY nice Krayted Elite Carbine, please note that i am also a Master Carbineer. I dont know, just be patient and give it some time i guess, when it works it does a substancial amount of damage, quite nice if you use it with with a KD attack 
but, try it a few more times maybe with a different carbine and let us know how it reacts.

I'm master carbineer too, and just shy of master bounty hunter too. I'd estimate it lands about 5% of the time for me and I've used it hundreds of times. I'm usually using a post-CU E11 Mk2 or a nice czerka. Your experience is very different than mine, but it doesn't seem like it canbe the weapons or skillboxes.
Perhaps not all servers are patched the same right now? I'm on Valcyn for what it is worth.

strange, leg shot and adv critical shot do exactly the same amount of damage for me...having a -critical- land seems to make no difference to damage.

Im MCarb/BH 0300 atm and I get plenty of Critical hits, but admittedly almost not enough to make it worth the gamble over Leg Shot. But it is nice in PvP.
PvE seems to be pretty predictable, you know for a fact a lvl 71 Rebel Commando will kick your lvl 59 ass. But a player is a different story. I dueled a fellow 59 and I beat the tar out of her and her clone armor, turns out she was still using a Scatter Pistol LOL.

My leg shot actually does more damage than the crit shot but not by much. And it does not seem to make a difference either way with crit either.

I'm on Valcyn as well and Leg shot is almost double damage than my Critical shot. Its pretty lame and I cant figure out why.

Quick question...
...Does the Critical Shot function work with all specials, or only BH CriticalShot?

If you have the special you can use any weapon with it. I'm MS/MP/commando and I can root (pistol special) with commando weapons.

I think he's talking about the mod that can be created from slicing. meaning can a non BH get a +Critical+

OK RTFQT sorry I miss read the question so no clue. (gave up by 1 line of BH to get 3 lines of commando for more defense and accuracy)
