Thanks a lot for the info nova, you are most helpful. I gota couple otherquestions:

-Does intimidate make that big of a difference to go MBH, MC, Novice Brawler?

Intimidate is a very helpful special. It reduces both the targets' defensive and offensive capabilities. For Jedi hunting I think Novice Brawler (for /intimidate and /warcry) would be more helpful than Novice Medic (since you'll either be KD/dizzy by the jedi or it will be your Mind that's gone). I myself chose not to spend the 15 SP's on a Novice box and instead pumped the extra SP's into Pistoleer defenses.

-In PvP jedi or normal PvP once you Knockdown dizzy the player (with whatever shotfloats your boat) what is the best attack? I'm not sure if it was you or some one else that said not to just spam away an attack. I figured thats what you would do once they are down and dizzy flopping like a fish.My old method was use /fireknockdown to KD, Dizzy them, then switch to pistol toblind them, bleed them, burn them using using bh pistol specials then swich back to carbine and spam sprayshot or crippling shot to finish them. I know now its not that easy to swich weapons during comabat anymore so that is probably not the path.

You have to remember that Jedi can heal themselves and states even while KD/dizzied. If you're a MBH, then you should always whale away on them with /sprayshot. That way you will keep re-applying the dizzy/stun/blind on them. Once they heal the states, you put another one back on them. Even though the damage modifier is .5 less than /crippleshot, you get the added states. Keeping the dizzy, burns, bleeds, intimidates stuck on the jedi is the key to winning the encounter.

For normal PvP you can just use /crippleshot as they wont be able to get up unless they use the /stand and heal exploit macro.

As a MBH/Mcarbineer, you can effectively target every single HAM pool. I'll usually just see which one's the lowest and go to town on that:

- Health pool => use /torsoshot and /healthshot 1&2

- Action pool => use /legshot3 and /actionshot2

- Mind pool => use /eyeshot

I'm not sure if we know the exact details on it... but I'd say a general description would be that it does damage at a 7.5x modifier (same as crippling shot) distributed randomly between all 3 pools.

Im like 85% sure that Crippling Shot has a 5.0x dmg modifier and the highest dmg mod in the game is Last Ditch (6.0x)

It all depends how the modifier is listed.....some profs of lesser intelligence base their number from the Standard Attack, which is 1.5X the Weapon Stats. But the smarter Carbineers base our modifiers from the actual weapon. Those other profs have to take the weapon stats and multiply by 1.5X and then the special modifier to get real damage....which is soooo stupid IMO.
