Thread: Charge Shot 2 Question

Is it still broken?
If not, is it worth giving up any CounterAttack for?
Charge shot 2 is totaly useless, here is why :
As you might already know if you use kd or posture change on already kded character you will put them back on their feet. So......lets say you are fighting 3 people and you try to use charge shot 2, one of them gets kd the other 2 resist it ( which happens alot due to stat defence ) Now you hit charge shot 2 again to kd the other 2, you will put the one u already kded back on his feet. So in other words, its called a multi-attack kd, but its really single target kd and in the case above it can backfire big time. Cause then you will have to wait another 30secs to land a kd.

Which is why KDs come in two flavors. You unload for the Dizzy,drop a CS2, then use CS1 to take down anyone dangerous who resists the charge blast. I've personally dropped 5 out of 6 PvP enemies and worked the last one over with FireKD till I get him or just eat the damage and keep the Area Pain on the downed ones.

Your general concept of ChargeShot2's problem is only partially correct. The KD only lasts 5 seconds unless Dizzy, so that is all the longer you have to wait to fire ChargeShot2 again. While I hate macros for combat, just put it on a 5 second timer and macro it if that helps.
There is no harm firing any KD special while the 25 second Immunity Timer is ticking away after they have stood back up from the 5 second KD. Personally I use this on creatures so Dizzy never comes into play. Using this on NPC's and PC's is tricky while trying to get the Dizzy/KD stuck is what you are referring to and not ALL CASES.
ChargeShot2 is not totally useless and I will be pushing for it in the Combat Upgrade....along with some Cone and % improvements of course
Yeh well it doesn't hurt to use kd while the timer is on, but its also uselss lol
But thank you alot, i would love to see a change in charge shot 2.
