Actually there are two unique things about scatter to consider. First being due to nature of the the shot whether by bug or by design Scatter bypasses all secondary defenses like dodge counter attack and block. Also scatter hits multiple parts of the body unlike most shots. This effect while lower damage to a specfic pool greatly increases the chance one might hit an intended pool. This makes it usefull for finishing off weakened enemies or trying to target the ever exculisive mind pool assuming that enemy damn enough not to wear a helm. Lastly the nature of scatter since it divides it damages evenly among the pools allows for user in pvp to get a better feel for what parts of the enemy are protected by armor by watching how each of the pools react to scatter effect.thus allowing the user to decipher a weak point and attack plan for attacking. Maybe not the best all around attack in the world but definatley worth having hotkeyed.

There are a few advantages to using scattershot over crippling shot. These are what I have experienced, feel free to disagree or try it out and see for yourself.

Scattershot2 ignores synthsteak

Scattershot2 ignores CoB

Scattershot2 is unblockable by jedi sabers

Seems like 3 really good reasons to use scattershot over crippling. I only use crippling vs people I know cant heal or if they are unbuffed. Any other time its always scattershot2.

Scatter shot2 IS good for Mind hits as well and combined with THe Speed from BH carbines is devistating... Too Bad We have limited Damage types since everyones armor is at least 66%-80% against any of our weapons... Maybe one day Carbineer will be able to compete with Rifleman and Pistoleer in PVP
