it still is awsome though

Yeah, even though it is random, it is still nice.

Best damage I've done with Crippling shot was 4300 ish.

So it's "still nice" and "still awesome".

It could be nicer still and awesomer still if it was Action only

I really wish Crippling Shot targetted only the Action pool!

Mmhmm.

then the next day we would get nerfed into oblivion

Of course, an equal change if crippling shot never was made action-specific would be if they actually made leg shot 3 a little more special, damaging, or whatever...and possibly crippling to do some nice status effects, other than just massive random damage. But, what am I saying, everyone's off for 2 weeks, and who knows how long it'll take to change (if) anything afterwards.

Well, to make cripple shot do a status effect, it will amplify the moves ham cost ALOT! As it is, cripple shot does MORE damage for LESS ham, plus it only eats mainly action, and a little bit of health and mind. If you add a status effect to it, it becomes more expensive to use and thus you prob. stil won't like it. At the moment, cripple shot is just fine. If they'd make leg shot 3 do a little less damage than cripple shot and make it action only, cripple shot would stay beeing our 'Bread and Butter' move.

All in a nutshell, crippling shot as always been our main damaging move. 'Nuff said.

leg shot 3 still doesn't do as much damage as leg shot 2. But cripple shot is nice. except that it is too slow unless you have a weapon that can shoot in the sub 2.5 category. My best crippleshot took a tortaur down in one shot. This was with a laser carbine that was hitting for 402 max with powerup though. It left one nasty wound on the poor creature too. I think it was the closest thing I have seen to a critical hit on the game ever. Good thing it did die. It wouldn't have been too happy if it had survived.

I have said this before and will say it again. Crippling shot is a very nice special as it stands. Making it anything more will only call nerf whining and it is simply unrealistic. As such, I suggest leaving it alone period.

Why dont we concentrate on other things such as the mentioned above improvement of the now rather worthless leg shot 3.

people in hell really wish for icewater.

o man....that would kick ass

lol, then you're going to get riflemen going, I wish adv strafe targeted mind only......There should be an adv cripple shot though.

You realize that if it hit only action it's damage would likely be cut in half (or more)?

Many people ask for this often. This comes from traveling up the novice marksman trees hitting only 1 pool so people get drilled into their head that carbineer = action. However, you must understand that once into the elite professions this largely stops. Carbineers get 1 better action bleed and 1 better action special. Pistols and Rifles the same, just with health and mind. In essence, the game moves away from pool specific specials once you head into the elite professions.

Further, action targeting specials are useless in groups except in carbineer-only groups.

Once you get over the carbine = action that is drilled into your head in novice marksman, you will grow to appreciate just how good crippleshot really is. It is our best special and, given how many of our specials do not work, asking for it to be changed is insanity.
