Carbineer Archive

Greetings!

I read before that imp. scatter shot has nice damage, so I put marksman 0-0-4-4 and carbine 4-0-0-0 to my mdoc-mcm combo.

Tested on lvl 50ish rebel commander:

normal /attack hit: 586 dmg
improved scatter: 439 dmg
improved full auto area: 879 dmg
leg shot (novice carbine skill): 1055 dmg

My combat level is 80, using elite carbine with 1.93 modded speed and 603-1059 dmg.

Is that improved scatter shot broken?

Thx for answering me

Please refer to the STICKY post on Specials Data for the Damage Modifiers

I guess the answer is 'yes.'

I thought scatter shot was supposed to do something in addition to damage, like drain the target's action pool, but I can't figure out what that is.

Don't know what else it is supposed to do based on the description. It is supposed to hit multiple pieces of armor or locations that lack armor on the target I believe.....just like Leg Shot is supposed to hit just the legs to take advantage of some Dev envisioned weakness.

It may have problems inflicting actual damage vs what is listed in the Combat Tab but I haven't looked at that yet.

However, I feel the special is a waste and needs looked at but not sure it is 'broken' as it appears to be working as intended.....just the intended part with the HAM changes make it seem pointless. I am working on crafted Carbines and Suppression Fire problems right now.....
