I am speed capped, and in the ctrl s window it says that burstshot2 is a more powerful attack then burstshot1, i am wondering, if i am speed capped, on a single targert (duels 1v1, or only one red on my radar) is it wise to use burstshot2 over burstshot1??

The sticky at the top of the page list damage multipliers. if you are speed capped the reload times won't matter to you. Both are same power, with burst1 using a bit less HAM. On a single target use burst 1. or cripple. or full auto single 2(nice states). what floats your boat really.

but yeah, have a read of the stickies, you'd be amazed at the amount thats in em

i find burstshot2 useless - burstshot1 seems to be along faster (??) and a lot more powerful - im carb 4332 it just confuses me like most stuff in this name - like the what the exact definition of nerf is?

BS2 is only better than BS1 when hitting multiple targets.....

Nerfing means that the developers make a certain aspect of the game weaker, usually to balance the game.

For example: In the future, the developers might 'nerf' the Rifleman profession by lowering their rate of fire (speed). That way a Rifleman would not be able to do as much damage per second as he used to. This would balance the game, because the a Rifleman's speed/damage ratio is currently way out of line compared to the other ranged professions.

Sadly a 5 minute change that hasn't been done for a year......guess that makes all of us dreamers

Burst shot 2 is an area cone attack if i can correct, meaning it hits multiple targets. I have used it quite a few times and find it effective in PvE. BS2 really chews through groups like Jantas and Mokks really well. For a single target, I use crippling shot.
