Thread: crippling shot uh ? can't get what is special with that one...
Dps is a good number to go by, but when you can do alot of damage at once, 1000 points in pvp, is good. 40% more damage over time maybe an increase but being able to empty a ham bar all in one shot is worth the 3 sec delay. Do I recommend spam this shot, by all means no! Crippling shot has a use even for use 60 speed carbineers, but spamming it is by no means the answer, think of it as the finishing move.

Yea... just got crippling shot my self today cause alot of people tell me it owns... but its funny that i find Fullautosingle 2 has more dmg and DPS O_o
Only use crippling shot if, you have 20 or so in speed tapes or the target is knocked over. I have crippling shot people in pvp for 1400 damage. I have also hit things in pve for over 6000 damage.
6,000 damage sounds off the chart.....but lets look at a 500 max damage Laser Carbine.
7.5X CripplingShot Modifier
1.5X AP/AR Modifier on AP0 target
1.5X KD Modifier
Results in a max possible hit of 8,438 
YUMMY 
BTW, my Laser Carbine is max 480 with 1.8 Speed......which caps at +78 Carbine Speed

1000 points in PvP my arse.....
A 500 max damage Laser Carbine against a NON-mitigation opponent with 80% Comp Armor will take a max of 234 damage......
BTW, Ranged Mitigation Level 3 will take a 100/500 Laser Carbine down to 121 max damage against the same armor.....
1000 points my arse.....
I smell an incomplete set of armor on the target, or something fishy about the carbine in use.
The only time in PvP where I've done hundreds, not even a thousand, points of damage against a comp armored target was when he was KD'd. I managed to put down a Power boosted TKM with 2000 Mind in 5 shots using ScatterShot2. (Talk about your lucky spreads on the damage.)

Ya know TA you walk around this forum like you know what you are talking about, but you repeatedly open your mouth to change feet! Your attitude is **edit**ty!
I have done 1000 point of damage in pvp, to a fencer who was not wearing armour. No midigation against it.
Go read your stickies!

Dude I pvp daily, I mostly log to pvp... I have been overt for 3 weeks in a row.. I solo pvp and do good but my main area is support.. I have DH17 carbines with 530 max damage and with +81 ideal range... I have laser carbines with 630 max damage... If there is one thing you cannot do... is: 1000 damage in pvp lol
When I fight someone unarmored... my DH17 will destroy him in a matter of seconds but never will I have 1000 damage. As for cripple shot, i'm starting to believe it tracks your target weakness... Most of the time I use it, it will hit my target right on a spot with no armor.. ((this is only my personnal rumor.. try it and see..)) I might be lucky or simply right..
Trust me if I cold make 1000 damage on people, I would be in heaven... Yes you can do up to 20K damage on lair 
that doesn't count.
