I downloaded the damage spreadsheet for carbines a while back (and again about a month ago, damn virus). It claims that cripplingshot has a Xtiplier of 7.5, yet when compared with the damage done by sprayshot (6.0), it's almost exactly the same. ATM, I'm a 0324 carbineer/MBH (you don't see too many MBH's anymore and, hell, I wanted to be different). Did they 'nerf' (dare I say, oh, I did) cripplingshot? I mean 7.5 is highest Xtiplier I have seen on any ranged special, and it's one reason why I went with carb over pistols (that and the being different thing). I seriously hope they didn't bring it down. Ok, now for the technical stuff.
Combat logs were examined after hunting on dantooine. Damage was done against Kunga dudes and format of attack was sprayshot until stats were stickied (mainly stun and dizzy) then Fire/KD, then spam crippling. The sad part is, I used cripplingshot while he was stunned and KD, and both attacks registered the same amount of damage. I used a laser carb, 430 max, no PuP. I don't think kungas have an armor rating, but they do have energy protection. No area attacks were used on this hunt (still haven't reconfigured my hotkeys).

Cripplingshot hasn't got the highest damage modifier in the game, mostly the dmg mod people state has to be multiplied by 1,5 to get the actual mod... we carbineers use to state the "real" mod... so when comparing to other professions you need to divide by 1,5... so cripplingshot has a 5x mod and sprayshot a 4x mod. 
Not sure about the nerfing... but it is very very doubtful that the devs change anything in the combat system before the CU.

CripplingShot, StrafeShot2, and Hit3 (Fencer) all share the highest damage modifier of 5.0

Nope, smuggler's last ditch has a damage modifier of 6.0 (actually 9.0).

Bah... Smuggler ain't a combat profession!
I stand corrected.

I always thought Cripplingshot was 6x modifier (as is scattershot2), and wasn't fastblast (MBH attack) 7x? I know lastditch is 6x and is damn painful on the recieving end.

Scattershot2 and Cripplingshot have both a 5,0x modifier (actually 7,5x). I don't know the modifier of fastblast since i think the bounty hunters never tested their master specials... but i don't think it beats last ditch's 6.0x (actually 9.0x).

I'm thinking of switching over to carbineer, but I'll miss that Last Ditch Attack with my 510 Max Geo.
I've tried MBH/Carbineer on the occasional blue frog periods on the TC-Galaxies servers, and I've found it to be one of the funnest combo's i've played. Even with the standard carbines on there I was amazed at my damage output with crippling shot.
