Well I guess they thought people were bleeding a target, then kiting or running away, so they dropped the bleed damage down.

Was that to encourage us to stick around and fight?

It actually encourages me to hit, then run, so I can wait till they bleed to their fullest, then repeat.

Bad enough a enemy wont bleed out to death...that was my favorite thing about bleeds, I could get incapped and watch the fella fall!

Now, they say they gave action shots 1 and 2 more oomph on their initail hit, wooopdie f'ooking doo!

If I want a good initial hit, I'll use cripple shot.

So now instead of seeing a guy losing like 200-400 per bleed round, now I'm seeing like 50-100....ugggh.

So in the time it takes for a bleed round to occur (someone verify time) lets say X...,

I get 3x for -100 bleed per = 300 points in 3 rounds of bleeding, WHOA, HOLY CHIT! WE ARE L33T!

In three rounds I can whack an enemy for 2500 damge each for 7500 points!

So why I ask do we bother bleeding?

UNLESS! They let the enemy bleed out to deathwhile we are incapped, I see no point to bleeds anymore.

People will always kite, but this bleed balance is a good thing. Stand up and fight or go home and craft some powerups.

Action shot is still a wonderfull shot, but the bleed part has now fallen back in importance. Action shot effects the main ham, it also causes wounds to the secondaries which is nice, it forces to kneel and you still get the added effect of the bleed on top of it all. Its a wonderfull shot in pvp.

I have always loved carbines, ever since I started with Novice Marksman back when I first started the game. In my opinion, we are great for PvP.

Action Shot 1 Bleeds the action pool. Then we have Leg Shot 2 to keep hammering away at their action pool. And what pool are our opponents using up to hit us with specials? Their action pool...

So we have a bleed on their action pool, they are draining their action pool, and we are hitting it with a 3x damage modifier.
