Just wondering,, I stopped using legshot3 awhile back,,,and just recently have started using it again...Im finding it more effectiive than fullautosingle 2 AND crippleshot...The way damage is dispersed using cripple and fullauto(hitting health and action), concentrating on the action baris really effective for me....

Ive been using the e11 (auto dot bleed) and firing actionshot(action bleed)/legshot3/legshot3/lehsgot3/legshot3....the action bar is depleted very quickly....now if I can find a good action poison ill be all set

anyone else like legshot3? any pvp use?

Absolutely great shot, in fact it is the fastest way to kill something.....not even CripplingShot can kill a target faster than the "BROKEN" LegShot3.

I use it in PvP with my Action Poison EE3

It is identical to LegShot2....but my theory is that LegShot2 is the broken one....

Before the Combat Upgrade, the Devs said they were going to increase the Damage Modifier and make it a Cone Effect Special. But IMO that would make it WAAAAAY overpowered and just asking for a Carbineer Nerf.

I ran the calculations maybe a month ago proving that LegShot2&3 are the fastest incap Specials we have at Master Carbineer. Kinda sad that a Marksman Special is the most deadly Carbineer attack (not counting BH).

Same with Swordsman and Head hit (or was it Mind hit)? A brawler special that is the Swordsman's best attack, and 4 months ago, Swordsman ruled the PvE scene. I have no idea if that's still true.

LegShot3 is also great for inflicting an easy Stun on a target. I've always kept it in my toolbar.

As for using it to damage, I generally prefer CrippleShot / ScatterShot2 since most of my teammates hit the Health or Mind pool.. but LegShot3 is indeed a must.

Well I hunted a Jedi down solo today and was using crippling shot on him, after a few shots he had about half action so I started doing legshot3 and it wasn't getting through the saber block as much.

Good question, I believe my numbers were NOT speed capped....let me run them and get them posted....

And maybe I will save them to a file instead of scratch paper......hard to find that post in my 3,000+ on this forum

It is except there are some initial reports that it Stuns better and has higher Accuracy.

I ran the numbers.....LegShot3 is NOT better than CripplingShot when Speed Capped.

I used Stettin's latest DXR6, 4.1 speed and 154/222 damage:

+60 Carbine Speed
CripplingShot hits Health 50% for172 DPS
LegShot3 hits Action 100% for229 DPS

+91 Carbine Speed
CripplingShot hits Health 50% for 705 DPS
LegShot3 hits Action 100% for 564 DPS

As usual, a BH/Carbineer plays a "different" game than a "pure" Carbineer.....

BTW, I will be PUSHING Carbineer to be strong without requiring BH in the Combat Upgrade.

Thanks for the test. LegShot3 still proves to be even more valuable than I thought though, heh. The DPS range is pretty close to that of CrippleShot's if you consider how "lucky" CrippleShot is in hitting only the Health pool.

I'll haveto run a few tests to determine at what relative speed LS3 = CS in DPS, just out of curiosity.
