Thread: Cripple v. Burst (1,2) v. Scatter (1,2)
Which one do you use, and which one do u feel is better...
plz make sense and no "my kewl dr00d friend uses it, so do i "
I use both crippling shot and scatter shot.
Crippling is more damaging but cost more and is a bit longer than scatter. Scatter hit multiple pool at once shot, cost less and is a bit faster than crippling.
(sorry if my english is not very good ^^)
crippleshot over burst unless im specifically wanting to do health damage. scattershot2 is something i like to use to finish off wounded opponents, particularly in pvp; i dont use it much in pve anymore.
Lately i have been using: Crpple 3x's and then finish the opponent off with a bunch of Scater/Burst combos.
I prefer Scatter2 to Burst2, as it hits all the stat pools and i don't have to worry which pool it's going to hit.
I prefer Fullautosingle2 to Burst2 as it is much much faster than Burst2, and does seemingly only a little less damage.
1.2 Speed DH17: Charge shot.
468 max dmg Laser: Cripling shot, Scatter shot.
Target dead.
I use exclusively scatter shot 2 ( I actually set it so that it is mouse button 2...) combined with charge shot 1.
If I face a group I will use full auto area 2 too for the blind effect.
Well my current favorite tactic is :
Open up from 50 m or so with a crippleshot, followed by chargeshot1, then cripple, then scattershot2. If opponent still alive, then actionshot1, crippleshot and finish with scattershot2.
I've found that when scattershot2 hits just one pool, which it does reasonably often, it does more damage than crippleshot. Over head floaty figures, using a laser carbine against AR0 opponents, best cripple I've done is about 4000 damage, best scatter2 is 5000.

Does burst shot target health pool exclusively??
I dont know if Burst shot targets the health pool exclusively but it seems to target health at least 90% of the time. I think I've seen it hit action once or twice, but usually I see that health bar drain.
And I'm a big cripple shot whore, now that I finally figured out, just slice and powerup a laser carbine and you can depend on doing 500-800 damge in PVP I usually just cripple and finish them off with a scatter shot or burst shot depending on the situation.
