It seems to bleed everything in the cone except the target. Very strange.

My experience is this:
As an aside, ActionShot2 seems to like to hit targets BEHIND the creature I actually have targetted. I don't think I've ever seen it mistakenly hit something in FRONT of my intended target. However, 95% of the time I am usually targetting the closest creature, so this may be an artifact of my game-play style. I have not deliberately tried to test it.

- When I have a single potential target on-screen, in front of my character, ActionShot2 hits and bleeds that target, and sometimes changes posture. Most of the time I get "Attack failed to change target posture" messages though.
- When I have two or more potential targets, and have target #1 selected, and fire Actionshot2... the blast seems to hit target #2 instead. The bolt actually veers off in terms of the animation, so both the animation result and the statistical result is to hit creature #2 when creature #1 is targetted in my cross-hairs. If there are more than 2 total potential targets in the field of view, one of the ones I have NOT targetted appears to be hit, at random. That victim is bled, and sometimes its posture changes. The creature I have actually targetted is not hit in any way.

yeah action shot 2 is akinda weird sometimes. ive had had it do both of things just mentioned above as well as put the bleed on like 3 creatures at once. its definately a bonus when it hits multiple targets.

using actionshot2 lastnight... a tight group of about 5 to 6 crimson razor cats, perfect time for actionshot2!
i pull off a few rounds... i get the combat spam saying i hit all of them, but in place of the hit/numbers floating off of each target... ALL fo the damage was focused on one target, a crazy rainbow damage float over target #1, and massive dammage that killed the cat in about 2 shots!
weird....
