I've been rooting through some of these posts and hear " When I'm doing Crowd control "
What specials are you all refering too? Area attacks? States?

Rapid Fire and Scatter both effect single targets for me. You're the only one I have ever heard that calls them cone attacks...

Crowd control mainly refers to positional control (snares, knockdowns, roots), and state control (intimidate, stun, warcry, thyroid rupture, etc). Sometimes you might hear about area damage being refered to as crowd control, but that's um.. very rudimentary crowd control to say the least.

Suppersion fire its an AOE snare that last six secs. and can be reapplied with out the 30 sec immunity. Also there's Full Auto Area, Scatter Shot, and Imporved Rapid Fire which all do alot of damage considering just how many target they hit at once.

Neither scatter shot nor rapid fire are AOE attacks.

You're right they're cone my mistake, but seeing as my target is almost always directly in front of me its as good as an AoE for me.

Scatter shot and rapid fire both affect single targets. Also, unless I'm mistaken suppression fire lasts 2 sec, and is so inhibiting to movement I'd almost call it a root.

Spray Shot: This ranged attack damages all opponents in a tight cone directly in front of the attacker.

Two points:
1) He was talking about SCATTER shot, not SPRAY shot.
2) Spray shot is a BH attack and has little bearing on a discussion of Carbineer specials.

Rapid fire and Scatter shot are most definetly NOT area/cone attacks, in case there was any question about that still. Supression lasts 2-3 seconds hard to tell, but its more a root then a snare, its kinda in between
