lo all
i dabble in carbs 0420 , and i realy like the charge shot (KD). nice animantion too lol.
anyway: i got exactly 2 sp left and the only way i can get the next box, is do drop a single FS box (it would be either 4th of ranged def, or third box of ranged accuracy).
Now the xx3x box gives you +5 ranged def, so i am not realy lossing anything, were i to drop the last ranged def FS box...
BUT, in spite of the fact i am not going jedi anyway, i am loathe to drop soemthign that i spent a lot of time , getting.
so is the improved charge shot worth getting, for that cost?
(i am MCM, RM, Carb 0420)

I haven't heard a single person test this yet, just Improved Charge Shot so far.....this is unfortunately a long ways down on the testing list as it takes dropping Carbineer Boxes to test and there isn't much time left in the /respec period.
Best you can do is go in-game and read the descriptions of both and decide from there.

Well...THe improved version just gives a higher chance to kd im prety sure. So...if its working at an acceptable rate i would just stick with what you got now if your happy. The improved charge shot will still miss some if its missing now just maby if your missing 1 out of 5 now youd miss 1-4. But the extra acc and def from the force skills are there all the time not jsut when you shoot a charge shot. If you dont need the fs branches for jedi though id drop the 3 acc from the village and grab the 5 acc and the shot from carbineer withought question. its got more of everything except the exp it took to get.
Edit heh...just have to say...wile here its good advice...just going by the skill descryption and choosing from there in this game is ...scary :0)

I don't like to be 'prety sure'.....
I totally agree with you Quandry, but I am not 100% sure yet

Improved Charge shot is the 0030 skill? I'm at 2221 right now so I can see what numbers I get once I get the upgrade.

improved charge shot is great. i dont like the movement of the animation (in jedi hunting, keeping range is important) but it does good damage, and has an awesome knockdown rate. Even against players, I usually get them kd about 80% of the time with charge shot, maybe 20% with underhand (and underhand used to ROCK)
Underhand shot now does about 1/2 the damage of ranged shot. LAME.

update:
i did what i said above and i am loving it.. TY!
i duled a TKM/Pikeman last night to test it out, and with my RM, i missed many of the shots, but i landed 8/10 improved charge shot, for the KD. (over 3 separate duels) once KD, i was able to get in a couple head and leg shots for nice damage
BTW, teh animation when u are right next to your target is funny, u go around in a few circels very fast lol

IMproved charge shot are good in pvp but utterly useless in pve if you fighting 4 legged mobs. Underhand is far better pve wise.
