Thread: New Carbineer: How much damage does cripple shot do?
Depends on your weapon of course. Crippling shot has about a 7.5x modifier of the listed damage, so if you have for example a laser with 30-250 damage, it should do 225-1875. Using the info from the pistoleer board, a stopping shotwith this weapon (assuming it was a pistol) would do 211-1762. Then you should consider delay and different AP of the weapons, but you just asked for damage.
Alsocrippling attacks a random pool.
although cripple shot attacks a random pool, it seems to hit health about 60%of the time, and mind only about 10%. Additionally, even if it hits a certain pool, the other pools take minor damage as well.
Crippling Shot is the most damaging, slowest attack in my arsenal. With a 350 Max Dmg Laser Carbine, I've seen hits in my Combat Window for 2400-2700 with this shot.
Generally I will open up with a Crippling Shot, then follow up with something more appropriate depending on what HAM Pool I happened to hit on the person/beast. This is ScatterShot2, Legshot3, ActionShot2, or BurstShot1 95% of the time.
Considering the fact that it can hit for 2500 damage plus the modifiers for the Laser's Medium AP, we're talking 3500 Damage or more against an unarmored target with no Energy vulnerabilities or resitances.
crippling shot is fun... I like it, I'm at the point where I just shoot..... I gave my my ch to be bh carbine 3, and it rox.... pvp Fire KD and 2 cripple shots and 2 shots and he's incapped when he starts getting up. Only way to be a good carbineer pvp is to have Fire KD I think...
Also, they fixed alot of the AoE shots... Wildshot2,Fullautoarea2, actionshot2....
Legshot3 doesn't seem to be AoE at all.... and Dunno about Chargeshot2 and suppression2... haven't gotten yet.
