I found that by spamming action shot 2 I could maul huge groups of mbs on dant and endor. Ive dragged aound upwards of 8 mobs peppering them with low damage actionshot 2s that just add up fast with high speed! I couldnt find enough jantas, pikets, bol, and voritors to drag around! On endor I was draggin mixed mobs from various lairs including spiders and hilltop gurkats! The xp was sick! I think the occasional posture down effect helpd keep the mobs at bay I never had to burst run.

Yes I forgot to mention was buffed with doc and music/dancer buffs. Let me know what you think of it. My template doesnt have burst shot 2 so I couldnt compare it to that but it seemed much shronger then spamming full auto area 2.

Were you buffed, as I assume you were. I use LEGSHOT quite a bit.. Perhaps this low HAM impact special is better. Will give it a try. Carb specials kill my HAM.. and they chew up my weapons quickly.

And for the record, spamming Posture Down is just like spamming KD, you will stand them back up from a Posture Down and then the immunity timer kicks in so you can't land it again.


Samming PD and KD are a total waste if you want to benefit from the posture part of those Specials....

Neg, not a waste in this scenario at all. The poster stated that he was dragging multiple mobs around (i do the same thing often). In that case, the cone is not going to succeed in posturing-down all of the mobs each time. In which case, spamming the special will succeed in PDing all targets at one point or another, thus keeping the bigpack at bay.



I cant defend the use of chargeshot2 though, because that running animation may actually help the mobs catch up to you if you fail to land the KD...

If your using it for levelling its a great attack, its a targeted bleed, u area shot a lair and the lair itself will not get damaged so nothing else will agro you. Yet everything outside the lair in your cone of fire will suffer action damage. This skill is great used on quenkers as the posture down means that they will never even reach you if you are fast enough.

an area or cone special hitting only one ham bar - would be nice if the damage output was a littlehigher

The damage is low, and Im glad it is. I dont want to have one special that I'd want to use ALL the time in nearly every situation...

When kiting, I'd almost prefer mobs not be knocked down. I want 'em all together and/or in a straight line for max effectiveness of each shot.


Off top of my head I am forgetting the shot name...wildshot2 perhaps?? The cone stun attack... I recently fidn myself opening with that on a pack of mobs 2 or 3 times. Since it often hit health pool for a good amount, I have been following with fullactionarea2, which also hits health bar most times. Any singles left meet Mr. Cripple.


Lastly, of course he was fighting buffed!!! On endor? Hell, on Corellia? Does anyone reallllly fight anything substantialunbuffed?....for long anyway?
