Is actionshot 2 supposed to be an area effect shot or just hit random critters??

I was hunting on Yavin yesterday and it seemed if I used actionshot 2 when close to a group of critters it would try to hit them all, sometimes bleeding a different critter than the one I had targeted.

Is this how it is supposed to work??

Action Shot 2 has a cone effect. It supresses with that cone effect. I don't know if it is exactly suppose to do this, however, with the combat proposals, the devs said, for clarification, that they would change leg shot 3 to /legshotcone and same for /actionshotcone. So I assume that action shot 2 is suppose to be a cone attack, however, I do not know if it is suppose to change posture. I assume that it does.

I'm not sure about the posture change. But I've seen the bleed effect a couple different critters. I just wasn't sure if that was how it was supposed to work.

Thanks for the help SOJ.

I can concur - took me a few deaths to mobs standing around like belladonna soldiers for me to figure out that legshot2 was doing a cone effect. I felt really stupid after I got myself killed a second time before figuring it out while trying to do a simple rot mite destroy mission on talus the other day.

Has it always been this way? I have actually started dabbling in pistol because I don't want to use any cone effect attacks like this. Most annoying when you tag a yellow non-aggro mob standing 30 meters away from your intended target and he comes over to kick your heinie.

Am, new to carbine - only just made novice - but this seems like such a nasty surprise. Nowhere in the skill description does it mention that it's cone, can change posture of what it hits or anything. Nothing liek surprises from hell to ruin your gaming day.
