It makes no sense to me that people think Ranged Shot is the best. Yes it gives the most damage per action. But if you spam Critical Shot it takes time to run out of action. Now if you spam Ranged Shot your action will still be very high (probably full), but your damage output will be terrible. The answer is exactly the point of CU: DON'T SPAM. Also people talk about spamming one special, when instead the way combat works you can spam two at once since each attack's cooldown is longer than the combat cooldown. Furthermore, there are many different combinations of buffs out there that allow you to use never use ranged shot since it is ineffective in many cases.


If you would like to argue, I'll duel you and spam Sniper Shot, Critical shot, and Head Shotwith no heals and otherspecials vs. your ranged shot and we'll see who dies first.

Maybe your right. However, when do you find yourself in a fight that you get the oppurtunity to just wind off shot after shot 10 times in a row. AlsoI'm attacking any MOB around level 80, I can kill it before it even gets to me
without getting "too-tired". I just don't understand when in the game you find youself pounding away at one thing for50 shots. If you can't last long enough to kill levels 80's using high SAC costs you either have a crap weapon, don't get any buffs, or are not level 80.


I'll do some testing tomorrow to get some numbers on more advanced shots.
