What's up with that guys? I try to use my skill points so wisely so I take Scatter Shot 1 because I read in the state of the specials that it works! But I get that freakin message! 1 point of damage?

I would have been better off chasing charge shot...

What's up with Scatter Shot 1?

Well, scattershot is somewhat unique in that it can damage multiple pools. However, the chat engine doesn't know how to report damage to multiple pools, so it defaults to 1. Look anywhere the damage is color coded to HAM and you'll see the actual damage (like where it floats above their head).

If it's any consolation, charge shot is a different experience type.

Thanks for the info, after posting this, I realized that.

I haven't had the chance to notice the damage above their heads yet. I can get between 900-3800 damage with one shot from cripple shot (2000 avg).

So why would I want to use Scatter Shot?

Since this post I have trained Charge Shot, I've only used it once and it did know down the enemy (cool)

My question is, what's with that animation? Is there a optimal range?

(side note, I'm not too lazy to test all these theories, I'm just at work now )

Scattershot 2 is simply awesome in my opinion. Crippleshot takes too much ham. Scattershot2 also can hit all 3 pools or 1 pool 3 times. I love it.

You want to use Scatter over Cripple in one specific occasion: When one of the bar of your opponent is almost to zero. You get more chance of 1 hit finishing it then using cripple. For example, if the mind of target is almost done but not the other bars, you'll finish it faster with Scatter2 than crippling it.
